"Nancy was warm, considerate and kind.  She offered information that was concrete and specific.  I never felt self-conscious with her, even though we were discussing aspects of myself that were extremely personal.  Nancy gave me the tools to feel good about my appearance again.  She provides real liberation for women ... one closet at a time."  -Julie, 30's, speech therapist       " Nancy is a fashion vet. I met her when she did the wardrobe for a TV show on which I was interviewed.  I was later asked to be in a fashion show for which she selected clothes and did the commentary. At her suggestion, I wore on a spaghetti-strap cocktail dress that I would have never tried on in a million years. ("What bra do I wear? I've never worn spaghetti straps. I have too many speckles/freckles on my back, blah, blah, blah.") Well, I ended up buying the dress, I've already worn it to three weddings and I get tons of compliments.  She now reps a particular line and the slightly ruffled, sort-of-boiled-wool jacket I bought from her a year ago remains one of my favorite all-time pieces. I rejoiced in recent weeks when temperatures fell because I couldn't wait to start wearing it again. Nancy understands figure types, optimizing your natural coloring and also the concept of what's age-appropropriate. She doesn't dress clients to look like teeny-boppers. She dresses them  to feel and look their best. What a wonderful person to have in your life! - Susan Fadim - journalist & editor

" I considered myself to have good taste and a reasonably good figure, but I was wasting time every morning changing outfits and staring blankly into my closet.  With Nancy's guidance I eliminated all the pieces I wasn't happy wearing anyway. She helped me find new items that were flattering to my body, my coloring and my lifestyle.  She suggested looks I had never considered - and they were right on target!   Now my entire wardrobe is color coordinated, but it is anything but boring.  Chosing the right pieces has multiplied my wardrobe options, and each outfit looks chic and put-together.  As a former "Plain Jane" (literally!) I am still amazed how often I get compliments from friends and even strangers.  My confidence has soared.  Even on a bad day, I get a lift from knowing I look good.  You can't put a price tag on that.  I only wish I had worked with Nancy 20 years ago."   Jane C - physician - 40's

" In April 2007, I presented myself to Nancy as a shy individual wanting to better my professional appearance as a Nurse Life Care Planner.  In the past, been uncomfortable and worrying about my appearance, rather than focusing on the task at hand.  Nancy matched colors and styles to my recommendations skin tone and figure.  Colors I previously chose were too drab and I looked tired/washed-out.  My clothing styles were too big, so I looked 20 lbs heavier."       " Back home, I began to transition my wardrobe to Nancy's recommendations.  I’m wearing colors and accessories I never thought I could wear.  People are complimenting my weight loss (which I haven’t lost) and my complexion as well as my energy level.  In September 2007 at the annual Nurse Life Care Planning Conference, colleagues were stunned to see my ‘make over’.  I’m continuously learning how to improve my professional presentation & have not gone in debt with these recent improvements.  I highly recommend spending a little time with Nancy; it will change your life, personal & professional. It’s definitely an investment that can take your career to a higher level."     - Shelene Giles, president, AANLCP .     "I am so excited about my "new" wardrobe!  Nancy made switching from a "business"  (suits, etc.) to a "business casual" workplace a breeze, by working with clothes I already had in my closet.  I didn't feel at all confident about clothes before our work together.  Now I've discovered that with just some weeding out and a new concept of mix and match, I have a ton of great outfits.  That is especially amazing because we didn't buy a single new garment - just the linking accessories to pull them all together.  It was loads of fun and I learned so much.  And I'm loving getting sooo many compliments from my co-workers. This was a great gift to give myself." Mindy - 30's

“In my pre-Nancy days shopping was a nightmare.  I’d wander aimlessly  through the store, then spend a miserable hour in the dressing room near tears.  I’d finally leave, in a terrible mood and vowing never to shop again.    But now I know exactly what’s in my closet and what will look good on me.  It was quite a transformation for a woman who considered herself “shopping impaired.”  Nancy educated me in a very patient and kind way and I am so grateful.”   - Karen, 40's, mom

"I appreciated Nancy’s professionalism and upbeat personality, but I was still a little apprehensive.  What if our tastes were different or I didn’t like the clothes she suggested for me?  Well … I was amazed by how well her recommendations targeted my tastes, my coloring, my needs and my budget.  She explained how the pieces coordinated so I could make the choices that maximized my dollar investment.  And when I wore the new outfits to work I was bombarded with compliments.  I’m encouraging all my friends to give Nancy a call.”   - Linda, 30's, accountant

“I never felt pressured.  The only “pushing” was to try things that were a bit out of my comfort zone.  I questioned a soft rust-colored jacket.  Nancy said it would be versatile and comfortable … and it has become a favorite.  An asymmetrical velvet dress that I feared was too showy was a huge hit at a company party. Now I experience the pleasure of choosing clothes in the morning without a second thought."     - Patty, 40's, broker

“I had gained weight and hated trying on clothes.  But Nancy helped me find styles and colors that made me look and feel great.  The pieces mixed and matched into so many outfits that my friends were asking if I’d won the lottery.  And if I’d lost weight.  What a boost!  In fact, I’ve felt so good about myself that I actually have lost 10 pounds.  Guess some of my new clothes will have to be altered.   Oh Darn!"   - Debbie, 40's, teacher

"I hate shopping for clothes, but I need to dress professionally in my career. Nancy weeded out my closet, spotted many items that needed simple alterations to become much more flattering, and identified the remaining wardrobe gaps.  She located new pieces to coordinate with the existing ones and I purchased nearly everything she recommended.  Nancy has improved my wardrobe 100%.  It is so much easier to get dressed every morning, and I have probably gotten more positive comments  about my appearance in the past 3 months than in my previous career."   Sherry, 50's, executive

"I  was afraid Nancy would tell me to scrap everything in my closet and start from scratch.  But instead she showed me how to mix and match combinations I never thought of.  With a few new pieces – voila – new wardrobe!  The next Monday I dressed for  the office incorporating the tips I’d learned – and I couldn’t believe the reaction.  “Have you lost more weight?”  “Did you do something different with your hair?”  “Is that a new outfit?”  Needless to say, I’m thrilled.  And my husband is thrilled too, because he no longer has to listen to “I have nothing to wear.”   - Sue, 30's,

"It was nearly 5 years after attending one of Nancy’s workshops that I finally treated myself to a private consultation. Her explanations about styles to balance figure challenges, the importance of the right bra, the use of subtle shoulder pads and my personal favorite – the column of color – have transformed me. I now shop quickly, never wasting money on styles and colors that aren’t my best. I am more confident and understand the importance of looking good in casual settings as well as more dressed-up ones.  Why did I wait so long?"    Teresa, 40's, entrepreneur
