Client Question: How Do I Wear a Black Blazer in a Fresh Way?

Happy Tuesday! I ended up not going to NYC this weekend. My mom was here to pick up her car, and we were supposed to drive up together, but she got sick! She's on the mend now, nothing serious, but we spent a weekend at my house watching documentaries and eating soup instead. I hope you had a good, relaxing weekend, too!

One question I often get asked by personal styling clients, readers, and friends is about how to wear basics in a way that feels fresh or different. Even those clients who don't ask me should be asking me. I see women all the time with perfectly good black jackets (whether blazers or top halves of suits) that just aren't being worn enough.

Hi! Welcome to StartCloseIn where (extra)ordinary women play dress up, re-discover clothes they haven't worn, and, most importantly, feel more comfortable in their own bodies. I'm thrilled that you're here.

I'm Ella, lover of stripes, soft layers, and laughing until my cheeks hurt. I'm also a Northern Virginia-based personal stylist. That means I'm the one you want to hire to help you cull through your closet, purge things you don't want anymore, and pick out outfits that you can fall into in the morning for whatever you have planned that day.

I'm also the one you want to bring shopping with you. I worked for 10+ years in high-end retail, but my specialty is finding deals on clothes that you actually want to wear.

My approach to personal styling for (extra)ordinary women comes without the pressure to look a certain way or spend a fortune. Instead, I think of “styling” as a way of helping women show our best selves off to the world. Here on my blog I'll show off recent personal styling clients and share with you ideas for how to dress your best-as though you were my client!

So come on! Let's dig through closets and find new and interesting ways to wear clothes together. Whether they're your clothes re-imagined and re-styled or new clothes that you can't wait to wear, you'll end up looking like the best version of yourself.
