Last week, I shopped with a client for key spring pieces. Her one requirement is that any new pieces had to work with her workout gear. Because she exercises regularly, any outfit she puts on post-gym has got to require minimal effort or else she will just keep her Lululemon on. The challenge was on! […]
During a recent client appointment, N’jeri spotted these fun, heeled Clark’s sandals. Yes, Clark’s! When she pointed them out, I knew I would have to try them on. Comfort is the number priority for 90 percent of my clients, particularly when it comes to their feet. They will put comfort first while style does not even factor […]
This spring, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with seven Delaware teachers for four days, styling them and appearing in a series of makeover videos. I had embarked on this National Education Association project for the first time last year. This year they upped the ante by having DC Style Factory complete makeovers for […]
When I make outfits for clients, I spend a lot of time talking about that third piece — the jacket that spiffs up your dark jeans and printed blouse, the scarf that takes your LBD from frumpy to French-girl, Garance Doré chic. More often than not, that third piece ends up being a necklace, from a […]
I used to think of boots or booties as a fall-winter staple, toe-warming, ice-battling things to pull on with jeans and a sweater or tights and a dress. But in recent years, I’ve changed my mind, especially since so many shoe designers are producing stylish, paler-hued spring-to-summer booties. Some are in nude colors (think of them as […]
I recently took a spring break road trip to Duck, North Carolina with my family. I knew the four-day trip was going to be uber-casual: lots of bathing suits, t-shirts and flip flops. Having an organized and streamlined closet makes packing less complicated and stressful. I use the same strategy I use with my clients — more tops, […]
This month, we partnered with Georgetown boutique, Lynn Louisa, for a spring style workshop, featuring some unsung wardrobe heroes: transitional clothing. Transitional garments — you guessed it — move effortlessly from season to season. The sun and spring air filtered into the boutique, ushering in workshop attendees. Soon the store was buzzing with women there for the sold-out event. […]

I started taking remote clients several years ago, but really honed and fine-tuned the process in late 2014. When I started developing the process, I wanted to make sure our faraway clients would feel special and taken care of — just as our in-person local clients do. I also wanted to make sure that they […]
I love when my clients send me pictures, because I get to see how they are embracing their new-found style. My clients know that their lifestyle comes first. I always strive to update and make current their wardrobes — yet still keep with their taste and lifestyle. Sometimes it’s updating a pant silhouette. Sometimes it is […]
