Meet Your Stylist
I believe every woman has beauty and can show up in style any day and every day!
Hello, I’m Shannon April, and I show petite women after 40 how to shop the exact styles they need so they can express more grace, beauty and healthy living inside out.
Do you wish your closet were filled with stylish pieces you knew worked 100% for your personality and current lifestyle?
How great would it be if you had fabulous easy grab and go outfits you felt fun and fresh in every time you had to run errands, help the kids, jaunt out to Bible study or meet up with your ladies group for lunch?
How amazing would it feel to WANT to go out with your spouse or girlfriends instead of hiding at home in your joggers and Ts because you’re embarrassed for people to see you?
What if you were able to go into your closet and pull any piece knowing that you’d look stylish and feel great for whatever the day holds. Every piece of clothing you have in your closet works.
You can do this when you have a system that helps you curate each piece. You just need to know what works for you and what doesn’t.
This is totally possible when you have a system in place to evaluate what works for you and curate a closet full of only clothes you adore.
That’s exactly why I set out to create the Premium Petite Style System so that I could offer petite women like you a way to get dressed that feels fun, eliminates all stress and ensures that you show up looking like the amazing and beautiful grace filled person that you are every single day.
Not to mention the compliments….
After we met, I made dinner for my friends who are coming over tonight. And then I went upstairs and changed into a new outfit that I had purchased based on your color recommendations. I came downstairs and my husband said,
“Wow! You look great! And then he even said, “You always look great, but you look like you weigh about 10 pounds less than you did when you went upstairs.”
– CAROLINE –
It all started in 2015. Two years before, I had baby #3 of 3 in 3 years. Having a newborn and two toddlers was overwhelming and I felt overweight, completely exhausted, frumpy, ugly and in despair. I had no idea how to manage the demands of motherhood. My dream of being a cool, stylish, fit, boss mom was shattered.
No one told me it would be THIS hard.
I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel when my spiritual mentor stepped in and helped me organize my home – starting with my closet. It was a complete mess of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum and other random clothes that looked terrible and didn’t fit.
A huge turning point happened when I invested in a personalized style guide from an online stylist. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of dressing my petite body and coloring. In the guide I was given specific details on what types of clothing I needed to dress my shape and short figure. All of a sudden I knew exactly what I needed and how to dress.
Instead of hyperventilating in bed fearing the thumping of toddler feet out of bed, I had renewed energy to face the day!
It’s the same for my clients.
After shopping with me they get compliments like, “Super cute top, where did you get it?” or “I love the fit of those jeans….”
Not only that but instead of the 17 minutes most women need to get dressed, they can pick out what to wear in less than 1 minute via their personalized outfit book!
“I’m really enjoying the way I feel when I get dressed for the day . . . I definitely feel more young and fresh!”

Having my own business has given me the freedom to help women create a meaningful and stunning transformation from the inside out. I can give them the attention and care they deserve in a special way by working closely with them in stores and in their closet.
I’ve styled 100’s of women and sent out over 6000 fashion boxes — mini mix and match capsules working for a subscription service. But, working for a fashion box service held me back from being able to give women what they really needed – the knowledge and resources and truly personalized one-on-one help they need to dress their best on their own!
After seeing how much my petite clients struggled to find clothes that fit or matched their style, I decided to launch my own business to help this underserved group of women who are really struggling!
Now it’s my absolute joy to work with a select number of clients 1-on-1. Women who are committed to transforming their confidence and life through style. Women who want more than a quick “fix” of 5 or 10 new pieces every month.
Women who previously could never find anything stylish that fit them!
These women now know exactly what to shop for on their own. How to tailor items for a perfect fit. They have a clear sense of their personal style, what’s appropriate for them, and how to navigate current trends.
They can now feel good no matter what their size, age or whatever else was holding them back.
So why choose to work with me?
I’ve spent over 2000 hours shopping and styling women and men in the last 5 years serving 100’s of women (and men) of all ages, shapes and sizes helping them find clothes they love. I’ve successfully served over 50 women in a high touch, one on one basis, and using my signature Premium Petite Style System to curate a style and a closet they love.
I’ve been trained, mentored and certified as a wardrobe stylist, image consultant and virtual stylist by two of the top internationally recognized master stylists. What I do now goes beyond a mere shopping or styling service. I’m in the business of transformation. I believe you can be beautiful and show up in style no matter what shape, size or age you are.
