I bought clothes out of departments that I would have never ventured into

I am a grab and go kinda shopper...meaning I don't shop unless I need something and then I'll buy whatever fits ~ so, you can imagine what a mish-mash my closet looks like.  But, luckily I've found Stacey.  She met me in Dillard's one day and had tons of clothes lined up ready for me to try on and I left there with several nice outfits - plus she had matching jewelry for many of the pieces.  I was at ease shopping with Stacey whereas I get frustrated and ready to turn around and go home after trying on one or two outfits when I'm by myself but Stacey made shopping fun and I thoroughly enjoyed being with her and getting new outfits.  Plus, I bought clothes out of departments that I would have never ventured into and...I don't know how she knew how to fit me because I can't pick out clothes that fit me...Good job Stacey and thanks!!!  I'm looking forward to the next time...p.s., I need to add that my husband really likes me in my new clothes so that's a plus for Stacey, too.

Time & Money Saver!!

Thank you so much for all of your help, Stacey. The closet consultation we did together was such a huge help! I just knew I was going to have to buy an entire fall wardrobe, but you helped me see how I actually only need a few pieces. You saved me days worth of shopping and frustration and showed me how to wear the pieces I already have. I used to think that it was a great luxury to have a personal stylist (and it is!), but now I see that it's also a money saver. Besides all of that, I really appreciate your understanding my personal preferences and how I need to dress for my job. This was our second consultation: one for the spring and one for the fall. I think this is the beginning of a very fruitful relationship. Thanks again!

She also pushed me to try new things

Stacey did a wonderful job of finding clothes that fit me and would work with my lifestyle. While she was attentive to my likes and dislikes, she also pushed me to try new things and I really appreciated that. You will enjoy your time with her.

51 and Fabulous!

I turned 51 this year and I have so much to be thankful for. My granddaughter is taking her first steps and my career is moving to a new level. What was missing for me was a sense of style. I wanted to feel "polished". I've always had a difficult time choosing outfits...I think mainly because I felt defeated immediately upon entering a fitting room. It was rare that I'd leave with anything that didn't end up just hanging in my closet. Which means I've wasted a good deal of my earnings on clothes that didn't fit or just didn't flatter me.

Stacey spent a few hours with me and found lots of pieces that look fantastic on me! Honestly I would have passed by most of these without taking a second look. I had silly rules in my head like "I can't wear woven tops because my shoulders are too broad." I've been limiting myself to stretchy knits and blue jeans...which are ok sometimes, but definitely not at work where I manage a successful business.

I recommend Stacey because she knows what's in style, what looks good on any body type, and most of all because she does it with such ease, which really puts the client at ease. I had a great time shopping with her and now I get compliments every day on my new look. Having the right pieces takes the stress out of getting dressed too, so I'm a much happier person. Thanks, Stacey...for helping me to feel fabulous!

Just a note to thank you...

Just a note to thank you again for your amazing help with my wardrobe. I met an old friend for lunch today wearing my new white jeans, violet blouse, pretty necklace and cool shoes. She took one look and said, "well, I can see your personal stylist was successful. You look great!"  I love wearing my new clothes and looking like a chic, hip grandma!

Will be back in touch in the fall and we can do this all over again!

Blessings to you,

29 new outfit combinations with 1 closet consult...

The best gift a girl can get is a closet consultation with Stacey Manning! Prior to our appointment, Stacey ask me to put “Like items” clothes together. I realized my closet had too many cardigan sweaters, more solid colors than print shirts and only 1 skirt. When Stacey arrived she quickly went to work picking out many new outfit combinations. I learned many tips during the consultation and what to look for when shopping (no more cardigans). At the end of our consultation, Stacey had picked out 29 new outfit combinations! Looking forward to our next appointment.

...you were super sweet and fun to work with!

Thank you so much for today. Not only are you knowledgeable and competent at what you do, but you were super sweet and fun to work with! I do appreciate your kind, encouraging words. They mean more than I can tell you. I am so excited about my new clothes! My husband took me out for supper, and I wore the purple top with the black pants and black sweater/jacket. I also found a necklace to go with it—nothing colorful because I need to update my selections—but it was a pretty, fun, long gold-colored necklace with lots of different-sized circles.

I wanted you to know that I am very grateful for you pushing me to get some things I would never have considered. Elise did a great job when she found you!

Thanks so much!

I would have never imagined how inspirational and fun this can be! My boyfriend bought me a package with Stacey for Christmas and I wasn't sure if I should be intrigued or insulted. I considered myself someone that can "clean up nice" when I want to so I never would have put much thought into "needing" a personal designer/stylist, but Stacey really taught me how to expand my horizons even more. Go figure, a professional know how to do things better than an amateur. =) I think I'm forming an addiction to her opinion...

BTW, she's super fun, friendly and thoughtful. Whether you're on a budget or spending-spree, she treats your money like it's her own. That's the type of people I like to be surrounded by.

Thanks for everything Stacey! I'm a repeat customer for sure!

She was personable and made me feel very comfortable from the start.

Working with Stacey was awesome. She was very professional and honest with her feedback. She was personable and made me feel very comfortable from the start.

I'm always skeptical of in-store staff feedback. Are they selling or being honest. With Stacey there I felt confident knowing I was getting an unbiased opinion on the best fit/look for me. The unbiased validation of higher dollar purchases is very valuable.

I'm also not a patient shopper, but she was bringing me the different sizes and pieces while I was trying on other items making the process flow very efficiently.

She gave me tips on what to look for in different styles/cuts as well as what items to look for in less expensive stores that would be comparable quality. Useful information when I'm out on my own.

I fully trusted her judgment

I am a man and dislike shopping for clothes and don’t have the time but, I do like wearing fashionable clothes. My wife dislikes shopping for me as well. I contacted Stacey via her website and I have been a satisfied client ever since. After just 2 shopping trips with Stacey I fully trusted her judgment and she has been my personal shopper ever since. She has taken the guess work out of what to wear. My coworkers continually tell me what a great job she is doing and how great I look. Thank you Stacey for freeing up some valuable time and making me look great while doing it!

I have a new confidence

I wanted to tell you how much my "closet consultation" changed the way I look at myself and how I dress! I was amazed at the difference it has made. It's not that I'm dressing so completely differently, but I see things that I never noticed before. I know I have a long way to go, and there are still days when I just pull the ol' standard black slacks/white
shirt out of the closet. But when I take the time and effort to plan, I have a new confidence about putting together an outfit that I didn't have before. And that is thanks to you and your talent for styling! I am very, very grateful to have come across your website!

Worth Every Penny

After having two boys in less than two years, I found my closet to be in mommy limbo. Getting dressed for work was no longer a joy but rather a constant fight to find something that first fit and second looked professional and stylish. It started to affect the way I viewed myself. And I found myself reaching for the same outfits over and over again. Shopping with Stacey was one of the best experiences. It helped me regain both my sense of style and self, and helped me relearn the valuable lesson of investing in a couple of key pieces rather than spending money on lesser quality items. I look forward to working with Stacey, and having her rebuild my closet each season.

I highly recommend her as a fashion stylist for any occasion.

Stacey's expertise and knowledge of fashion trends is outstanding. I'm grateful for her unique insight into clothing and accessory choices. My wardrobe consultation was necessary, and Stacey helped me to eliminate outdated pieces in my wardrobe that were fashion don'ts. We had a two hour shopping date selecting pieces from Vincent Camuto line and Michael Kors. These selections were well suited to by body type and taste. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone adding splashes of color along with pieces I would normally have not selected, but loved. I'm looking forward to working with Stacey again and again. I highly recommend her as a fashion stylist for any occasion.

I cannot stress her awesomeness enough!

I HATE shopping. HATE it! And was absolutely DREADING finding a dress for a special event this week, but I just had the most fabulous time shopping with Stacey Manning—probably because she's a personal stylist. I cannot stress her awesomeness enough!

Stacey is fun, easy to work with, and super talented.

My husband gave me the perfect Christmas present…..a day of shopping with Stacey Manning! Stacey got me outside of my comfort zone and helped me to find some gorgeous pieces that make me feel amazing when I wear them. She has a great eye for color and texture and helps you see ways to put together an outfit that looks special. She is also smart and savvy about how to maximize what you are buying while staying within a budget. Stacey is fun, easy to work with, and super talented. I would recommend her to anyone!

I felt sexy, hip and confident...

I turned forty "recently" and after the entire hooplah was over, I had to face my next birthday. Let me tell you that 41 was more of a challenge than the BIG 4-0.
What do I wear to say I still got it? (And what is "it" anyway?) It was my luxury to work through my outfit options with Stacey's support and encouragement.

Not only did we talk about what my concept was for the party I had planned, but as my options became realities, I could send Stacey photos via text and she patiently and expertly guided me towards the best outfit.

I intended to wear an entire off-white outfit and ended up wearing my most flattering jeans and an off the shoulder sweater - I felt sexy, hip and confident. I must say there is no better way to celebrate yourself than being in that very mindset!

Don't go "it" alone - you no longer have to…when it really matters, connect with Stacey and see how good "good looking" feels!
