Image and Fashion Makeovers with Positive Reflections~Personalized Wardrobe Consultants

“Having a baby and working from home for 5 years put me totally out of touch with my wardrobe. I knew I had some great things in my closet, but I had lost confidence in knowing what looked good and what really fit. Every time I had
a speaking engagement or public event, I would rush around trying to find something appropriate and nine times out of ten ended up buying an outfit I was unhappy with. What a waste of money! I found shopping frustrating because I could never find what I was looking for.
Then I met Pam Friedlander. I appreciated her sense of style and color right off the bat. But what made me want to work with her was that she very quickly understood who I was, the image I needed to project, and what clothing and colors would help me do that.
In two days she helped me make up for five years of wardrobe neglect and mistakes! I loved what she made of the clothes I already had and then the clothes and shoes she found for me while shopping just took my whole wardrobe to the next level. Now I feel beautiful and confident every time I get dressed. I know I'm going to look great for all of my appearances from now on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“I met Pam this year at a fundraiser and was quickly drawn to her beautiful scarves and accessories. Before I knew it, I had picked up a scarf and belt from her display and Pam showed me how best to wear them. From that moment I was interested in having Pam work with me to give my so-called style a boost. I am tall and clothes never fit me or I never took the time to buy clothes that fit right. First, I trusted her opinion and was glad she was honest with me. Second, she worked with me to organize my closet and see exactly what would work and what I needed to buy. I work in a professional office and I needed outfits that I could mix and match and I was also looking for casual clothes. What I came away from this experience is that I do not have to spend a lot of money on clothes. Outfits could be put together with simple pieces and a great piece of jewelry. Organizing my closet is something I do regularly now. Thanks to Pam I feel much more confident shopping for clothes and putting outfits together.”

“Pam, I can never thank you enough for helping me put together a stylish,
professional yet comfortable working wardrobe. I've have difficulty assembling pieces that form a cohesive “look. ” Added to that are other shopping challenges: my height—quite short; and my weight—over. So I've never, ever enjoyed shopping.
One afternoon with Pam changed all that. She has such an eye for the
styles, colors, shapes and fabrics that are just right for me. The
pre-shopping she did made all the difference. Walking into the dressing
room, feeling like a princess because Pam had put together “looks ” for me to
try on made shopping FUN and productive. And best of all, the clothes (and
shoes) were just right.
Key for me was that Pam listens. I work 10-, 12-, sometimes 14-hour
days, and told Pam that I wanted to look good but I also needed to be
comfortable. Well, you can bet Pam pulled that off. I have outfits that are
just right for meetings at our corporate office in Manhattan and ones that
are perfect for long days-into-night at the local office in Fairfield
County. ”

“Pam brought tears to my eyes as she put together the most amazing outfits from clothes that were already in my closet. I actually felt pretty and put together for the first time in a long while. Just by adding an accessory or two, or suggesting a different pair of shoes, she was able to teach me how to turn slacks and shirts into great “outfits”. She suggested things I would need to complete my “new look” and we made a date to go shopping. What a pro! Pam took me to stores I never thought I could shop in. She suggested clothing designers she felt would work for me and told me why. She actually made shopping fun. Pam also showed me a few money saving tricks. Having Pam as my wardrobe consultant was such a positive experience, I look forward to working with her again next season.”

“I want to thank you for all your help in replenishing my wardrobe with just the right clothes as I lose weight. I had never enjoyed shopping, considering it a necessary evil. Purchasing new clothes for special events had always drained me, all too often leaving me with a closet full of mistakes. My outfits used to feel uncomfortable and were not in the most flattering proportions for my body. Shopping with you was an amazing experience! We actually accomplished what we had set out to do, and in record time. You selected some styles that you knew I would wear and made such great suggestions—integrating flattering and updated styles that were new to me with what is already in my closet— giving me a great start on the basics of a new wardrobe. I had so much fun. I never get dressed now without thinking of how much I appreciate your helping boost my self confidence. Keeping my particular budget in mind, you took advantage of sales and coupons, saving me lots of money and time, Bringing things in correct sizes (up or down) as I was in the dressing room was the ultimate luxury, a real time and energy saver. You have a special gift of knowing what looks best—and gently encouraging and relinquishing some unflattering styles. Upcoming special occasions or events no longer fill me with dread. Getting dressed for work is a new adventure. I never realized how much my entire outlook for a particular day is shaped by how I feel in my clothing. I thank you for helping me feel special each day. Anyone who needs a reference may feel free to call me. Your suggestions and advice are invaluable and greatly treasured.”

I am so enjoying my fashion “makeover,” and not one day goes by that someone doesn’t comment on it.

“Thank you Pam! I’m the type that would rather go to the dentist than shopping for clothes because I don’t know what to look for—what fits—good colors, or what to stay away from. While I love classic, stylish clothes, the pain of not knowing what I was doing resulted in making boring easy choices of shapeless “mom” jeans, sweaters, sweatshirts, and various styles of T-shirts well into adulthood. Shopping with you was an eye-opener—easy and great fun. My purchases all look fantastic—every piece was bought in stores I had never patronized before—and on sale (a must in my book), and I now look (and feel) like a grown-up with a sense of style. Thanks for holding my hand—supplying a gentle push—and giving me the confidence to venture into a store on my own!”
