Behind the Scenes: How My Client Transformed Her Wardrobe & Found Her Signature Style
It’s a story I see all the time—an amazing woman with a full closet, a love for shopping, and a desire to look stylish and put-together, yet something still isn’t quite working. That’s exactly where my client, Annie, found herself when she reached out to me.
Annie is a beautiful, confident professional, a mom of two, and happily married. She has a great sense of style but felt like she wasn’t quite hitting the mark. In her words:
“I want to wear outfits that best compliment my body—not too young like I’m trying too hard, but also not like an old lady. I want to look polished, stylish, and modern but still approachable.”
Her biggest frustration? Despite shopping several times a week in an effort to create that effortless, pulled-together look, she still wasn’t achieving the style she envisioned for herself.
Step 1: The Closet Edit – Less Clutter, More Confidence
The first step in our journey together was a closet edit. Over time, our wardrobes can become overwhelming with impulse buys, outdated pieces, or items that don’t quite fit our current lifestyle or personal style goals. Annie’s closet was no exception.
During our edit, we:
Removed the clutter—pieces that no longer served her or fit her vision
Discovered hidden gems she had overlooked
Organized her wardrobe in a way that made outfit creation seamless
Once we streamlined her wardrobe, she was able to see the potential in what she already owned.
Step 2: Styling What She Already Had
With a refreshed closet, I showed Annie how to style her existing pieces in ways she hadn’t considered before. The goal? To help her put together outfits that felt:
Professional yet effortless
Stylish but age-appropriate
Modern while still feeling authentic to her personality
Annie was eager to learn—she even started texting me with outfit questions in real-time, applying the styling tips I had shared with her!
Step 3: The Fitting Session – Elevating Her Wardrobe
Next, we had a fitting session where I introduced curated pieces that would upgrade her look and bring her closer to the stylish, confident woman she wanted to be. These weren’t just random purchases—each piece was selected with intention, designed to work seamlessly with what she already had.
This is when Annie had her aha! moment. She realized that buying more wasn’t the answerb—instead, it was about:
✨ Quality over quantity
✨ Intentional shopping
✨ Investing in key pieces that elevate your look
She immediately started adding her Maria-approved looks to her digital closet, where she could easily access outfits from our fitting session and have a clear roadmap for her everyday style.
The Transformation: A Confident, Effortless Wardrobe
Annie now has the knowledge, the tools, and the confidence to build a wardrobe she truly loves. She no longer shops out of frustration—she shops with clarity and purpose. And best of all? She has a trusted stylist (and friend!) to consult whenever she needs guidance.
Now, she embodies what confident dressing truly means—feeling great in her clothes, knowing she looks amazing, and expressing who she is through her style.
