Working with Katie Quinn hasn’t just transformed my sense of style. It’s transformed my life. How I feel has changed even more than how I dress. It’s given me confidence in myself and my body.
I first hired Katie because I needed outfits to wear to a business presentation and a separate work cocktail party. I had nothing to wear even though I owned a lot of clothes. Nothing in my closet made me feel good or like myself, let alone awesome. There was just no cohesion in my closet and I was at the end of my rope.
Katie’s program was incredibly helpful. I realized I had never thought about clothes in terms of who I am and what I want to project. Plus, Katie is so kind and straightforward. And she’s sensitive so I could tell her what I always felt vulnerable about when I went shopping—yes, I mean the parts of my body wanted to hide. She made me feel safe and I knew I could trust what she told me. She had me trying on clothes I would never have tried on before, but I was shocked because I looked good in them!
She also works with great salespeople at the stores who are non-judgemental like her and this helps . Shopping with her felt like being a queen for a day. And she’s conscious of my budget. We started with basics at off-price and high-street stores and found fabulous summer bargains the most fun with the selection at Bloomingdales. She has a good eye and knows exactly what she’s looking for, which really maximizes your time with her.
The first two outfits she helped me buy were great but ultimately became the least important part of the process. It’s nice to have those outfits but the biggest outcome was the transformation of her working with my closet and entire wardrobe. It transformed me on the inside in a way that’s much more important. Its given me this confidence in myself, in my body, in my presentation of me. My outside feels aligned with my inside. We got rid of 80% of my wardrobe and I haven’t regretted one purchase. Now I can always find a go-to outfit that’s appropriate in my closet. People I know say I always look so pulled together now. And I always feel polished. I’m even starting to take some risks.
