Testimonials

Dora

I was nervous about hiring another stylist; I have had great ones and some bad ones. Ali is the absolute BEST. She came to my home and we went through my wardrobe: she helped me decide to keep more items than any of the others. We set up another date to go shopping. Ali had my style, budget and what I needed down pat like I had worked with her for years. I couldn't be happier. This is the most efficient and most successful experience I have ever had.

Jessica

I was nervous about having someone in my closet, but knew something drastic needed to be done. I couldn't keep wearing my boyfriend's clothing and thinking I looked stylish. Ali quickly put me at ease. A couple of quick questions and into the closet we went. In no time flat she worked through my whole closet with me - discarding, organizing and revitalizing. Items I never wore she gave me the confidence to wear and worked them into outfits. She also didn't make me throw everything out, I still...

Samantha A.

Ali helped me find something special for an important event I was attending. After a brief conversation on the phone, she met me at the store having pre-selected several items for me to try. Working with her was incredibly efficient and enjoyable. She worked with salespeople directly to find different sizes, make alterations and ship certain items to me directly. After we were all done, I had three terrific options to choose from-top to bottom, shoes to jewelry included-which I never would had...

Ellen

"Right Up Your Ali" is not just a cute play on words for Ali's business: it defines the way she approaches her clients! From the first time we met, Ali "got" me she understood what kind of style I (hope to) have. By asking just a few questions including where I generally shop already, what kind of lifestyle (job, weekends, events) I have, what styles I like -- she has helped me figure out how bring the style I want to life. Over the past couple of years, we have found everything from a dress...

Rebecca

Cleaning out my closet is a job that I dread. I decided that it would never get done unless I got help. That's where Ali came in. What to keep? What to throw? With her very calm, non-judgmental manner, we went through clothing, shoes, and pocketbooks. Though some items were truly old, she just quietly commented that maybe this one or that one was "a little dated". She listened to my hesitations on some, and respected my reasons for keeping the odd piece or two. However, I also respected her...

Kristin

I am one of those people who stand in my closet every day bemoaning how I have nothing to wear, even though I have a closet full of some pretty nice things. I fell into the trap of wearing the same outfits in the same way all of the time and got bored with my wardrobe and my look. Ali came over and in less than 2 hours helped me re-purpose many items that I hadn't worn in ages. She gave me great ideas of how to wear different pieces together for a totally new look. She also helped re-arrange...

Jocelyn

I am a stay-at-home mom, needing functional but wanting classic-looking clothes, and Ali went through my closet piece by piece, helping me figure out what to keep and what to purge. She showed me how to put some outfits together in ways that I hadn't thought of, and showed me how, with the addition of a few key pieces, I could create a wardrobe that would really meet my needs. We looked up some stores online, and found some that carry tall clothes that I had never known about. We also picked...

T.C.

I'd be the first to admit that I'm a little intimidated by fashion. I'm never entirely sure what's dated, what's current, and what goes with what. Add to that the fact that I'm no good at culling my closet, and you get an enormous closet (with some items more than 15 years old) and "nothing to wear." But after another round of I-just-bought-all-this-stuff-but-I-still-can't-get-dressed-in-the-morning, I finally realized that getting a professional to help me would probably save me both time and...

Lisa

I just wanted to thank you for your assistance. Your advice is priceless! I really value the editing of my existing wardrobe, advice on filling the gaps in my wardrobe (ie boots) and your practical advice on what brands and styles to consider. In addition, I feel the investment pieces you have recommended were well worth the it and I feel great every time I use them. Thanks again. I look forward to working with you again.

Sarita

It's been over two months since Ali and I spent 2 hours playing in my closet. I say "playing" because that's what it felt like -- I had so much fun! I am grateful to her on a daily basis. I walk into my closet and feel like I'm in a boutique -- it's so well organized! And I can pull an outfit together in no time! What is even more remarkable is that this was accomplished without my having to buy a single item. I was quite certain that my wardrobe was incredibly outdated as I tend to be a bit...

What Do I Do?

I Upgrade Your Closet Inventory!

How often do you stand in front of your closet asking that question? Oh yes, that’s your closet. The one that’s full of clothes. The clock is ticking. And you have nothing to wear. So you pull something, anything, out, put it on, and perhaps you spend the rest of the day feeling just a little self conscious. Are these pants flattering? Do these things work together? Are they appropriate? Do they fit well? Are they too tight? Are they a little uncomfortable? Why, when you have a closet full of clothes, is it so difficult? And no matter how often you shop, no matter how much money you spend, why are you standing in front of your closet again wondering what to do?

I work closely with top retailers to find what is right for you and to get the right fit. Here is a sample of the services I offer. If there is something I didn’t cover, just ask!
