Today is kind of a big deal.
I’ve decided it’s time to share the news about what I’ve been up to!
So….for those of you guys who have been with me and my blog for some time, you should remember me several times talking about how I would just LOVE to be a personal shopper when I grew up…
Well, guess what?!?
I GREW UP!
And not only have I been finally able to do what I’ve always dreamed about, I get to do it on my terms! Well our terms….Meet my business partner, Betsy:
Isn’t she lovely?
So it all started quite a few months ago when out of the blue, I got a request from someone to do an image consulting session. And I was like, “Wa huh?!? Um, Yes!” So, I brought along Betsy and for two hours we sat with this gentleman and discussed style and image.
And then we walked into his glorious fabulous closet. And we got to show him how to make what he had work together for different events in his life.
And then we told him what needed to go.
And then we told him what he needed to complete his collection.
It was heavenly. Every single amazing moment.
I might mention, we also got paid. Uh huh, ya…even better.
As we were walking on clouds back to the car, we knew we had found our happy place.
Thus began our business…and what’s crazy is that while we were working on the business plan, we started getting contacted left and right for more styling jobs! It was like, well, totally God. Because He cares about fashion too.
So, at the moment we are having our website designed and we’re hoping to have it live within a week or so. I can’t wait to show it off to you guys!
So freaking excited!
So without further ado…..meet your Chic Shoppers:
Summer
Betsy
And just in case….here are just some of our services!
Make it Click: Whether you have a specific occasion in mind, need seasonal updates for your wardrobe, or need help finding the perfect jeans, we can make online shopping easier, sending you outfit ideas and shopping suggestions.
Consult Your Closet: Like your mom always told you, and Tim Gunn always says, Make it Work. And in this case, we mean what’s in your closet. With this option, we will come to your home, help you sort through what you have. We’ll determine what works, what doesn’t, what we love, and what we don’t. We’ll put together amazing outfits with what you own, and make suggestions as to what would make it better.
Take Your Pick: With this option, the clothes come to you so you don’t even need to set foot in the mall. After a wardrobe consultation, we preselect clothing options to suit your needs and tastes. You tell us your needs, sizes, and preferred colors and we bring back the goods. Once you have decided what you want to keep, we’ll return the rest.
Shop in Style: Starting at two hours, we’ll hit the stores with you and help you find clothes that will fit and flatter you. This is a perfect solution for those who feel overwhelmed by shopping, or who want help understanding the trends.
And there will be more….just you wait….And might I mention we’re affordable? Cause we are.
Have a great weekend guys!
