Project Sarah

My client, Sarah, just had her fitting yesterday.  We worked out a fantastic inaugural price for her "Fashion Evaluation and Action Plan".  After her evaluation, we decided that she needed 5 outfits for professional marketing presentations and set her budget at a low $500.  We wanted to incorporate a bit of color since she tends to stick to black-and-white and I made sure most of her pieces could transition fom work to dinner and cocktails.  I shopped and shopped all week and came up with the five outfits described below...

 Outfit #1

Deep purple is a great shade for Sarah's coloring.  The black-and-white skirt is definitely something she was comfortable with and loved, but she never would have considered adding color to the ensemble. Accessories were not included in her budget, but Sarah could add a pair of great purple pumps and a fun cocktail ring to complete this look.

Original Prices
Sweater - H&M $20
Skirt - Calvin Klein $50

Outfit #2

Sarah was very interested in tailored dresses, so this is perfect for a big presentation.  The dove grey and the cream and khaki striped blazer are beautiful colors for spring.  Sarah will be able to lose the black tights soon as the weather warms up and can add a colorful statement necklace and nude heels to complete the look.

Original Prices
Dress - Calvin Klein $100
Blazer - Theory $355

Outfit #3

Love the layering!  In order to make it easier to travel, Sarah needed multiple outfits using some of the same pieces.  Here she is wearing the grey CK dress with the H&M cardigan over it to create a classic sweater and skirt combination. We added a fantastic blazer with slightly edgy lapels.  Sarah is a big fan of jackets and loved this different, but still professional, blazer.

Original Price
Blazer - H&M $50

Outfit #4

I might have to go out and get this dress for myself!  The bold colors are softened by the watercolor pattern.  The simple tailoring creates a chic silhouette that is universally flattering.  Throw a black blazer over it for work and then wear it alone for cocktails.  These colors can be worn pretty much all year long.  A long necklace will add some sparkle to this ensemble.

Original Price
Dress - Theory $295

Outfit #5

These pants are a great length for spring and are perfect for showing off fabulous heels.  Sarah borrowed my nude patforms for the picture and has decided she needs some for herself!  The coral color looks great with her skintone and the pants really elongate her legs.  The shell is an interesting find as it is silk, but is in a racerback style so it can be dressed up or down.

Original Prices
Pants - Theory $190
Camisole - xhilaration $15

The Bottom Line...

Staying within her budget of $500, Sarah got five fabulous and versatile looks with a total original value of $1075 without having to step one foot in a store!  Savvy chic for the business geek!  Please contact us for information on our services which are aimed at saving the busy professional both time and money.
