Work Wardrobe Package Customized for his needs

New Graduate
Lianne was an unbelievable help in getting me “dressed for success” as a new graduate. Like most recent graduates, my budget was low and my student debt was high, so getting the most out of my money was a top priority. Lianne expertly guided me through the process of building a wardrobe that would take me from underdressed student to stylish young professional. She started with what I had, using her natural eye for styling to assemble great looking suit combinations that I never even thought to put together. Next she rounded out the essentials, helping me pick out some missing articles that I just couldn’t get through the work week without. She then sprinkled in a few high-value, versatile pieces that could add a little flair, but could be worn in a bunch of settings and combinations so that I didn’t break the bank. She happily helped me stay within the budget I had set out, and also left me with a few helpful tips on what items I might want to add down the road when the budget allowed.

First Raise
I was in need of a complete wardrobe makeover. I had just received my first promotion, and also lost a bunch of weight. Having upgraded my job, and my fitness level, it was time to upgrade my suit game. I had some suits, but given the weight I had lost, no amount of tailoring was going to transform them into something I was proud to wear. Likewise, a lot of my shirts were not enabling me to attain the slimmer look I was going for. At the same time, as a young professional living in Toronto, I still had a lot of bills to pay, so keeping to a mid-sized budget was important to me. Lianne enthusiastically tackled the challenge head-on. She took stock of what could be salvaged from my current wardrobe, and really focused in on what kind of look I was going for, and what colours would work best for me personally. Then it was time for suit shopping! By targeting sales, I was able to get four brand name, beautifully-fitting suits for under $2,000. By guiding me through what was worth spending the money on, and what I could afford to select cheaper options for, Lianne actually enabled me to fit some upscale casual Friday options into my wardrobe as well. Everything was pulled together, as we added in shirts, and were often able to match shirts to ties I already owned. The result was spectacular. I had a completely revamped wardrobe that allowed me to show off the new me, and everyone took notice. One month in and I am still receiving compliments on the ensembles
