“Taking the time out for me allowed me to accept new looks, colors and textures I hadn’t dreamed about. You helped me find ways to see my graying hair and changing skin as positives. I tried a whole new palette and looks I didn’t know were possible for me, and I appreciate your careful observations, skilled choices and warm encouragement to try new things. I did a total reset this Fall, and while I’m not sure I’ll totally enjoy aging gracefully, I’m getting there and in a much better mindspace than I was. Thank you again!”

“Suzanne was a fabulous wardrobe and make-up consultant. After taking her class on empowering my closet, she worked with me at my home. She is honest, pure of heart and listened intently to how I wanted to look instead of how she thought I should look. She is a gift to anyone who wants to change and update their look without changing who they are. I now feel more confident taking fashion risks which is a huge breakthrough for me. I may even have her work with my husband.”

“Working with Suzanne changed my life. I know that sounds crazy. But It’s true. She helped me see myself and the clothes I chose to wear through new eyes. She explanded the range of clothes I would even consider for myself, and she taught me what styles look best on my body. I didn’t have to lose weight or spend a ton of money to start wearing things that accentuated the positives, and Suzanne’s gift is she always finds the positives in each of us and our bodies and our clothes. I love her and have given her service as a gift to many of the women I love who deserve to dress as beautifully on the outside and I know they are on the inside.”

“I have always hated clothes shopping and was never very good at it. One time I needed to purchase a navy blue suit and spent hours wondering around an upscale shopping center only to come home with nothing. I planned to attend a professional conference and hired Suzanne to help me. In just three hours, I had at least five mix and match professional outfits, two casual outfits, new makeup and bras that fit. And the best part was that she was able to help me keep it all within a very reasonable budget. I knew that I would save time but I was surprised because I probably saved between $500 to $800 by shopping with Suzanne.”

“I’m emailing because I wanted to tell you that people keep telling me how good I look. It is so much fun to get that type of feedback.
And I’m so glad that we bought both outfits at Ann Taylor because I’ve worn both and gotten many, many compliments. I even had a stranger tell me how much she liked the skirt and sweater combo.”

“Suzanne inspired me to create an amazing closet for myself where before I didn’t have one. She helped me define a signature piece that I always wear so people remember me – a special crystal. She is amazing and wonderful – I highly recommend everyone work with Suzanne.”

“You helped me beyond my wildest dreams. I never knew I could find clothes that fit me so well. Thank you! Thank you!”
“You showed me things I would never have thought to look at before. I am heading out in a new pair of jeans with bikinis underneath, my new black t-shirt and pointy shoes. Can this be me??”
“I met Suzanne five years ago when a friend “gave” her to me for an hour as a birthday present. She had a huge impact on me! She went through my closet, taught me what kinds of clothes worked for me and what kinds didn’t. She sorted my stuff into piles: throw away, donate, keep. She taught me how to put outfits together, what length of skirt and dress looked best on me, and helped me organize my closet so I could find things and not forget about them. Suzanne gave me the confidence to wear clothes that flatter me and taught me how to shop so that I actually wear what I buy. She was one of the best birthday presents I ever got. She’s a gift that keeps on giving!”

“Your newsletter is perfect – good tips, nicely written. Thanks for putting me on the list. How would you like this on your tombstone: “Every time I walk into my closet, I think of Suzanne.” You have a gift, Suzanne, and I hope that is reflected in the success of your business. As a former therapist and a current executive coach, I can tell you it’s sometimes a surprise how simple insights and suggestions can change peoples’ lives for the better. Things like… “you want to have people see you as the successful executive you are,” (that was not in my self-perception before), and “buy the best black purse you can afford,” and “you have great legs – show them off.””

“I just wanted to post a short note, saying thank you. You did a great job in a very short amount of time. Once I return, we can start work on the second phase. For the record, if you should ever need a referral, please feel free to offer my name, I’d be more than happy to help. You are one incredible woman. Regards and thanks,”

“Suzanne helped me define, discard, decide and made what can be an impossible process fun and even enjoyable. Her honest and gentle approach was appreciated and we had lots of laughs along the way. She has a keen eye and knows how to coordinate great looks. She helped me organize my closet so that items are protected and easy to locate. If you want to know what looks great on you she can teach you!”

“I love all the things we bought yesterday and I have a much better chance of wearing ALL the clothes- I can wear them a lot longer than just the one season when I spend most of my time in shorts and t-shirts!!
As I put my new clothes away, I got rid of some more old things. Although I need your OK to get rid of a few things, I’m getting better at getting rid of some clothes on my own! That’s one huge step in the right direction!
My mom came over today and saw my new clothes. She can’t believe how much I have cleared out my closet. I said it’s not quantity, it’s quality! And, thanks to you, I finally have quality!!!
And, I never thought I would say this, but I’m actually looking forward to shopping with you again soon. I love that we get so much accomplished and you find such great clothes for me!!! Although I can start throwing things out on my own, I still can’t shop on my own!!!!”

“I just went into my closet and it’s literally nice and bright, and cleared out of the underbrush, thanks to you. I already feel lighter and happier and more accepting of my body. since working with you, I love going into my closet: everything is arranged by color – it’s so organized and pretty! The clothes you’ve helped me find over the years are there – the staples, and then the new ones. I try to only have things that fit well (yes, I’ve actually gotten rid of that never-worn designer dress that I paid huge bucks for but which never really fit all that well) and I finally have learned to throw out my blacks when they start to fade! My weight fluctuates a lot, but now I can feel attractive no matter my size. I’ve also really appreciated how you pre-shop for me – figuring out how to take advantage of sales and coupons. Best of all, I feel good about myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you, my darling Suzanne!!”

“How many times a day …..do I think of you?
When I put a pair of pants on the hanger like you taught me to do.
When I put a turtleneck on the hanger like you taught me to do.
When I put on a pair of flat boots that you advised me to buy.
When I put on a new outfit that you helped me put together.
Etc., etc., etc.
Thanks a million.”

“It was great to meet you and get a fresh start. I now have a clearer picture of what I want to achieve with my clothes (I can’t call it a wardrobe yet!) and how to proceed. I Googled some images of Carolina Herrera and I’m going to need to stock up on white blouses! Lord, that sure is her signature look. So you are right. Designers send out color and pattern and wear white and black with a smattering of color and pattern. Interesting.
I’ll keep you in the loop on my shopping excursions (if you’re interested) and will definitely contact your seamstress. If I can send some of my friends your way, I’ll be happy ’cause I think they could use your critical eye and helpful suggestions.”

“Today was great… I feel pretty stressed at the moment…but having my wardrobe all picked out brings me GREAT COMFORT. You have really changed my life! OK, back to organizing!! Thank you SO much Suzanne.”
“Thank you so much for our consulting session yesterday. I had friends stopping me on the street complimenting me on my appearance. This morning I am wearing my hot little one piece short number with my black tights and long sweater. Who knew that could be me? Thank you so much.”
“Suzanne, can you believe the difference? Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Meeting you was such a gift.”
