This Professional Shopper's Super Secret Guide to Clothes Shopping

I’ve been pondering on John Lennon’s Happy Christmas song,  “So this is Christmas and what have you done?” While thinking of you, my clients and friends, I wondered what I could give you that would be helpful to you this time of year.  Because so many of you would rather go to the dentist than go shopping, I've decided to give you the gift of my shopping treasure map.  Being in the stores as often as I am, I’ve learned which stores have the highest turn over, which have the cleanest and well lit dressing rooms, who loves to crank up the AC in the winter and oh yeah who has the best clothing options for specific pieces, body shapes and personal style types.  After all, you are good at what you do, you don’t have to be great at everything…especially shopping.  That’s why you have me.  Your friendly neighborhood stylist.  (You thought I was going to say Spiderman, didn’t you?)

"And so happy Christmas…." my gift to you is to help with your shopping, now and in the future. Feel free to share with those shopping for you who may need a little assistance.  Disclaimer:  The following resource list does not include product links or gimmicks but instead is a comprehensive list of my tried and true shopping places for your specific needs. (Both in person/in store or online.) Feel free to copy and paste to your notes on your phone to pull up when that moment of panic strikes because you can't find what you're looking for.

If after reading this, you still feel like the dentist is a better alternative to shopping, I’m going to give you another gift.  10% off shopping and any of my packages when you purchase before December 25th with the code HAPPYCHRISTMAS
