Build a Wardrobe That Matches Your Authority in 30 Days
A private styling experience for petite executives and founders 5’4” and under in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley who want a modern, polished wardrobe that reflects who they are now, supports their leadership, and makes getting dressed feel effortless.
Your Wardrobe Should Reflect the Woman You Are Now
You are not the same woman you were five years ago.
Your role has expanded. Your visibility has increased. Your shape may have changed. Your calendar asks more from you than it used to.
But your wardrobe may still be working from an older version of you.
Maybe your clothes feel outdated. Maybe current styles feel confusing. Maybe you want to wear more color and feel more visible, but you are not sure which pieces look polished, elevated, and professional.
You may genuinely need new clothes.
But new clothes only solve the problem when they are chosen with a clear strategy.
You do not need another closet full of almost-right pieces. You need the right pieces, selected for your shape, height, lifestyle, colors, authority, and how you want to be seen.
You want to look modern, confident, respected, visible, and inspiring.
You want your wardrobe to match the authority you already have.
Why Petite Executives Need a Different Styling Strategy
Most fashion advice is not designed for petite women in leadership. Oversized blazers, wide-leg pants, long hemlines, relaxed tailoring, chunky shoes, and boxy silhouettes may look effortless on taller women. On a petite frame, they can quickly look overwhelming, frumpy, or slightly off.
That does not mean you cannot look current. It means current style needs to be translated through petite proportion strategy.
When you are 5’4” and under, details matter: jacket length, pant rise, hem placement, sleeve shape, fabric weight, shoe proportion, neckline, tailoring, scale, and visual balance.
The right pieces help you look polished, modern, and intentional.The wrong pieces can make even expensive clothing feel off.
The Cost of Almost-Right Pieces
A wardrobe without a clear strategy can become expensive quickly.
The blazer that almost fits. The pants that need tailoring but never feel right. The dress bought for one event and never worn again. The designer piece that looked beautiful online but does not work with anything else in your closet.
Over time, those almost-right pieces add up.
Not only in money, but in time, energy, confidence, and the frustration of standing in front of a full closet without a clear outfit.
Now imagine if most of what you bought became a win.
Better fit. Better quality. Fewer mistakes. Less wasted time. More outfits that support your body, lifestyle, calendar, and leadership presence.
This experience helps you invest differently.
Before you shop, we clarify your colors, petite proportions, wardrobe gaps, lifestyle needs, event calendar, and desired image, so every recommendation has a purpose.
You are not paying for someone to simply find more clothes.
You are investing in a wardrobe strategy that helps you buy better, dress with more confidence, and build a closet where every piece earns its place.

Common Questions
Tap each question below for clear details on the experience, wardrobe investment, timeline, preparation, and what to expect before we begin.
I have hired a personal shopper before. How is this different?
A personal shopper helps you buy clothes. This experience helps you build a complete wardrobe strategy around your current season of life, petite proportions, best colors, lifestyle, and leadership presence.
You are not just leaving with more pieces. You are leaving with a clearer image, stronger outfit formulas, and a wardrobe that supports how you want to be known.
How do you understand my personal style?
Before we begin, you complete a style questionnaire, share a Pinterest board with looks you like, and complete a separate style assessment that considers your personality, lifestyle, and goals.
During your onboarding consultation, we review everything together and shape your style direction collaboratively, so the pieces I curate feel aligned with your taste, your body, your leadership role, and your real life.
How soon can we begin after I book?
I am typically booked 2-3 weeks out.
I am very busy. How much work will this require from me?
The process is designed for busy executives, founders, and high-performing women, but it is not designed to feel rushed.
You receive expert direction, curated shopping, outfit styling, and clear next steps, while setting aside intentional time for your image, confidence, and personal presence.

You will receive clear preparation instructions before your session.
For color analysis, I will guide you on what to wear and how to arrive so we can accurately evaluate your best colors and apply them directly to your wardrobe strategy.
Can this be paid through my business or company?
Many founders and business owners view this experience as an investment in executive presence, personal branding, and client-facing visibility. Some companies also have professional development, personal branding, or executive presence budgets that may apply.
