I Looked and Felt Fabulous!
"Wendy, you are a genius!  Thanks to you and your talented team of professionals (Ajido, my hair has never looked better), I looked and felt fabulous during my recent trip abroad.  The number of people who thought I was European...I lost count.  Most people thought I was French!  I even had Europeans compliment my style.  You made me like to shop.  I NEVER thought I'd say that!"

She has visual perfect pitch
"Wendy develops and builds lasting relationships!  First of all, she understands healthy interpersonal relationships to collaboratively define goals.  She understands the relationship of keeping classic "old friends"  while energizing an image or look with new finds.  Wendy's positive energy also promotes a healthy self image and relationship with one's personal style.  She has visual "perfect pitch" and is a joy to have in your closet and life!"

If Milk is Good For Your Body, Wendy is Good For Your Image!
"If milk is good for your body, Wendy is good for your image! With a few minor changes here and there, people immediately noticed a difference in my appearance. While I wish she was with me every time I shop, I've taken her tips to heart. This has saved me time and money. I now have a flattering wardrobe that can be put together effortlessly, is interchangeable, and classy. Wendy worked within my budget and pushed me just a little outside my comfort zone in the name of fashion, which ended up being a good thing! I never felt I was pressured to accept every single suggestion. Trust her and you will look and feel fabulous!"

I have a classic, sophisticated and professional wardrobe
"Wendy guided me from looking okay to looking my very best. She taught me how to choose classic pieces with style, quality, value and consistency. Her goal was to have all my choices look spectacular and work together -- and she achieved that. I get dressed in an instant and know that I look fabulous. And best of all, I've saved time and money. She never advised me to buy anything that didn't work with multiple pieces. I have a classic, sophisticated and professional wardrobe. I am very conservative with my money, and never in a million years would have thought I would spend money on an image consultant. But now I would not consider NOT taking advantage of Wendy’s services."

I looked like a million bucks
"I met Wendy my sophomore year in college with the intention of transforming my wardrobe to reflect a more mature, professional, and respectful image in preparation of future interviews and internships. It’s now been about three years and I have successfully worked with Wendy through acceptance of my first job after graduation! I have always received compliments from fellow employees about the professionalism and fashion-forwardness of my work attire. In fact, a CEO leaving an adjacent building at the end of a work day told me I looked like a million bucks and the good news traveled back to my bosses. It was a great feeling to know I’m sending a positive message about the company when outside the office. Overall, what I like most about working with Wendy is that she respects my budget, preferences and decisions. Her wealth of knowledge and admirable personality make working with her fun and exciting! Ultimately, I will continue to work with her and certainly will recommend any of my friends, colleagues and family members to her!"

...a friend who has really great style
"I read an article about Wendy and knew this was a person I needed to meet. My closet was full of clothes and shoes and I never had anything to wear.  Wendy came to the beach and spent an afternoon sorting, organizing and packing for charity donations.  We then met for a shopping trip in the Triangle and what a treat!  I didn't feel like I was working with a professional stylist, but with a friend who has really great style.  After just one afternoon shopping with Wendy, I love my wardrobe again and feel so much better about my fashion style."

Takes the intimidation out of shopping
"I started working with Wendy in the spring of 2011, having recently transferred with my company to North Carolina from Wisconsin. While my style was technically appropriate for my workplace, I noticed that most employees dressed more formally relative to the Wisconsin office. My manager advised improving my wardrobe for my new position, a suggestion I took to heart and attempted to do on my own. However, having met with limited success on my own, I decided to seek out professional help and found Wendy via the internet. Here I was clueless, thankfully Wendy knew exactly where to start, asking about me, what I was doing now, looking at my existing wardrobe, taking notes regarding what I had, what I lacked, and what I had that was out of style or more importantly did not fit correctly. After this meeting, she observed my real problem was not so much what I wore (although that too could be improved), but rather that I owned little if anything that fit correctly. We then scheduled a second meeting, this time at a local mall to shop. I was impressed by several things: First, we went to several stores and at each one Wendy had an existing relationship with sales people in seemingly every clothing department. Second, she was patient, taking the time to explain why she thought a particular color or style would look good on me. Finally, Wendy took me out of normal styles and colors, bringing me things that were more bold than I would have chosen on my own. Although she steered me toward more bold colors, Wendy also guided me toward classic styles that I will be able to wear for years and away from trendy pieces that might have looked dated next season. The results - my new wardrobe looks fresh, fits well and most importantly, I look and feel more professional and confident in my workplace. In autumn 2011, my wife and I were invited to several weddings and additionally both of us generally needed fall/winter professional attire. My previous experience with Wendy had gone so well that we decided to contact her again. The experience was as good the second time as it was first! When I need style advice in the future, I will not hesitate to call on Wendy and in fact have passed her name onto several friends. She is fun to work with, professional, knowledgeable and takes the intimidation out of shopping."
