I found Katie a few years ago. What ultimately made me hire her was the personal connection. She’s so wonderful and warm. Katie understands that choosing clothing is incredibly personal and emotional, and I’m so grateful for all the times she’s helped me work through my wardrobe hangups.
The truth is that I don’t like to shop at all. I don’t have the time and I find it boring. But I am now in the public eye, photographed regularly, and have to travel a lot to big events. Sometimes I have less than a week to find an outfit for a black tie or formal cocktail party. I want to look my best but I don’t want to agonize about it. Katie understands what’s required at certain events so I don’t have to think about it. All I have to do is give her a few details and she makes everything as painless as possible. She puts all the looks together for my travel itineraries as well.
Because of Katie, I don’t really have to shop any more. We meet in person about 4 times a year now, plus she’s always available on the phone for last minute issues. She knows my tastes, really listens and she’s able to read my tone and body language to make sure I’m feeling good. She’ll do the shopping and the first edit and then stop by my house with the absolute best options. I know she’s selected the best fit—and price point—for whatever we pick. She just figures life out for me so I’m confident in any situation. I also love that she looks at the entire wardrobe—not just clothes for fancy parties. She has helped me buy beautiful gowns and comfy pajamas.
It feels like a joy to be in my closet now versus when I used to stand there and think ‘I don’t have the right outfit.’ She’s helped to elevate my day to day dressing, to build a wardrobe that’s casual but also cool and fun.
