访谈录 2012-12-27&12-29 让你穿得像明星的造型师

 From Sofia Vergara’s red carpet perfection to Emma Stone’s subtle yet sultry glamour¹, these celebs and so many more have a secret weapon to achieve that look—a stylist. And now you too can get that fashionable looks with a stylist for fraction of the price. From 75 to 300 dollars an hour, new companies are offering real women a chance to have their own stylists without busting² their bank accounts. 

 

We can take somebody who doesn’t have any confidence and give them all the confidence in the world and that’s extremely rewarding. 

 

Alison Berlin runs styling agencies, Style Made Simple, and works with clients on all sorts of budgets. She connected Liz Yale with Samantha, who helped Liz to stop worrying about what to wear. 

 

Actually the same top in five colors. It wasn’t really representative of what I wanted to look like that I was essentially³ wearing the same thing every day.

 

Their first order of business: a major closet overhaul⁴. 

 

How many of her clothes would you get rid off?

 

Eh, we probably purged⁵ about 20% of her wardrobe. Next gone to fun part, shopping. Today, they are browsing⁶ New York City Boutique, Elizabeth Charles, for a few special pieces, things Liz would never pick for herself.

 

So, if you like this bright blue, it would really be flattering. And you could multi-purpose this. 

I feel like it undermines females’ lust⁷ and more when it comes to clothes, fewer clothes, but clothes that work together. 

 

Yes, and clothes that fit. You’d be surprised how many people, you know, ten sizes and none of them are the right size. 

 

If you still want to be your own stylist, Samantha has a few suggestions:  buy two of your favorite jeans or pants, have one for heels, one of flats, and look thinner by accentuating⁸ the smallest part of your body, often your waist and keeping it the focal point. And befriend a good tailor, fit is everything.

 

I like the back.

 

Yeah, the back looks great and I love these patterns on the shoulder also.

 

But investing in her own stylist has given Liz more confidence. She looks great and what’s more, she’s gained a BFF. 

 

For Good morning America, *, ABC News, New York.

 

Hey, I’m back. And another part, the stylists will have the clothes already picked out, free to try and so, you don’t have to dig through those rags. You might even noticed that you save money in the long run, because you are buying fewer pieces, but pieces that actually work together, and Elizabeth and *, some of us need more help than others. I need a lot, because I have no fashion sense.
