Macy's & Nordstrom offers this service for FREE and I am "thinking" about trying it.
To be honest, I have seen many "What not to wear" Shows and I love the way the gals look so pulled together with their wardrobe by the end of the show and I think to myself "That's what I want to do"
Of Course, I cannot afford a WHOLE new wardrobe but I thought maybe 3 complete looks to start and then I can build on that from the tips / ideas they give to me.
I lost a LOT (a whole lot) of weight over 17 years ago and have managed to keep 98% of it off and I have never updated my look or dressed for my shape, my close friends tell me I still dress like I'm covering myself up or wear things a little to big. It's just a habit I never got out of from being heavy for such a big part of my life.
Anyways - just wondering if anyone has ever done this and if they enjoyed it or was it a waste of time? Should I just call Stacie & Clinton instead? Hee,heee

I think it's a great idea. Many years ago, I did something very similar at Saks, and it made a huge difference in how I dressed (for the better). It was helpful having someone push me outside of my comfort zone. I really need to do it again. Congrats on the weight loss and even more congrats on the maintenance! I hope others who've used the service more recently at Macys and or Nordstrom chime in.

If you do, you should take a friend with you who can photograph the outfits so if you decide not to buy a particular outfit, you can remember the things that you liked/didn't like about each one.

Good Tip! Or, I can snap a pic of myself through the mirror in the dressing room

That's what I am hoping for ...get me out of my "comfort zone" - I see so many things I want to wear but I'm just not sure how to pull the whole look together and if it is a look that would even look good on my body shape. Thanks for taking time to add your input, I appreciate it.

Sandgirl...what have to got to loose? Go for it and enjoy...congratulations on the weight loss...how did you accomplish this major success? I am in the same process and always interested in how others were successful. Sometimes we get in a rut with always buying the same clothes and it would be fun to venture outside the box. Good luck and have fun!

WILL DO for sure!! I am excited but at the same time, I worry about the pressure to buy everything. I have about 800.00 that I have put away a little at a time to use on some new cloths - I really don't want to go over what I have saved, that's why I figure 3 or 4 (depending on cost) outfits to get me started.

I used to use a personal shopper at Saks. They're great. They interview you to find out about your lifestyle, your preferences. etc. Then they pick out a lot of outfits for you to try on, and they select jewelry and shoes to go with the outfits.
What I like about it is it gets you thinking outside the box. I tend to be stuck in the "blazer" mode. I literally have more than 50 blazers. The shopper gets me trying on sweaters and other items I normally don't buy, and to my surprise I like them.
