At those prices, I’ll shop elsewhere

I also shop the sale racks at all of the major dept stores.

I charge by the hour… This way you pay for the time, and there is not pressure to buy a ton of stuff.

I’m not loyal to any dept store or any brand name. I just shop your budget only.

And for those of you who do like to shop… Understand that MOST of you don’t…

And that’s real! So stop being so judgmental…

P.S. I’m not as pretty, and I do come equipped with a geezer belly….LOL

It’s a genius model for her if she can continue it because right now, she isn’t dependent upon making a single sale.
I just feel bad for the very few stylists that have a background in this field that have to deal with this quality of clothing in attempting to dress their clients.

This has been my experience when shopping for clothes: with rare exception, boutique salespeople pressure you to buy anything and everything. Often the most ridiculous clothes. Mall salespeople on the other hand; $8/hour clueless.

At first, I was skeptical. As a customer, I’m impressed.

Interact with other humans. Shop like grownups. Put on big boy pants.

Interact.

Nerds. Gotta love em.

Nerds: Go upstairs. Walk outside. Get on your sister’s bicycle. Ride toward shopping mall. Get beat up. Dust yourself off. Go into men’s clothing store. Use Mom’s discover card to purchase shirt and pants. Ride sister’s bike home. Log into daily diary under “Greatest adventure EVER.”

Nerds.

If someone can tear down the brick-and-mortar walls of boutique clothing, what could be next? What other products could follow this model?

That said, I don’t think you NEED to always spend a lot of money to look good and there is a ton of shite out there that is waaaay overpriced. Case in point, the Hugo Boss shirt at $180! $180.oo isn’t necessarily too much for a really nice shirt (and it’s not a bad idea to have at least one), but I would not be getting something so generic from Boss’ bottom label for that dough. It’s also certainly true that the way one needs to dress is quite dependent upon their field and/or bosses or clientele. You are not going to sell a million dollar house in a costco t-shirt!

Which brings up the question of what the hell are they posting this article here for? This is obviously a forum where it’s clear (by the reluctance to spend about $15 on a shirt) that no one here is really a good potential client for them. Anyone sooo turned off by the idea of spending money on well-made clothes won’t give two shites about this service. It seems just as easy to walk into any mall anchor (Macys) and spend 20 minutes picking out what this stylist did – and yes, for much less too.

This seems to be their marketing structure – to post ambiguous videos and editorials about how great of a business school student the founder is/was. Is this really a decent marketing structure for a business that is selling style and fashion? What clown thought this one up? It’s quite sad, but if you google them, this article is the third hit — not such good pr with all the now negative comments!

Maybe it’s time to fire someone.

As I said earlier, I still think it’s a good idea in the right hands of people that know what they are doing styling-wise and subsequently marketing to people that aren’t going to have their panties in a not over a $48.oo t-shirt!

Ditto the polo shirts for $59 and $95. That is insane. I just bought some polo shifts at Costco for $18 each and others at the Brooks Brothers Outlet for $25. Even the Brooks Brothers main website’s awful prices are only $40 each.

So, while I love the idea of the service and would gladly pay for the experts’ time and attention, I would only do it if they were also good at finding “great deals.” I think that is the only way this business has a prayer of being successful.
