Effortless Style Client Spotlight – Allison

September 9, 2012 By Katie Rushton Leave a Comment

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have had a great short work week!!

I wanted to do something a little different for today’s blog post. My amazing clients are my lifeline, so I wanted to share a client success story with you guys.

Allison is a client of mine as well as a good friend. She came to me back in June with a need for a dress. Allison is a director with 31 Gifts, and she had their national conference coming up in August. She wanted to find a fabulous dress as she said she was going to be called up on stage to be presented with an award for her hard work over the last year.

We sat down one afternoon and talked about some of the things that she would like in a dress. One thing that she really wanted was a yellow dress if I could find one. Allison is always smiling and upbeat, and she refers to her fabulous team of 31 ladies as the “Sunshine Girls.” I wasn’t sure that I could find a yellow dress that she would like, but it became my mission to try my best to find one.

On my first shopping trip for Allison, I found a yellow dress at Belk in Cool Springs. I couldn’t believe that I found one and that I really liked the option for her. I got the yellow dress, and I went ahead and picked up a couple of other dresses that I thought might be good options for her to try as well.

When we got together again to try the dresses on, she tried them on one by one saving the yelllow dress for last. A couple of the other dresses fit her beautifully and looked fabulous on her, so I was anxiously awaiting the yellow dress to be put on. When she came out of the room in that yellow dress, I knew immediately that we had found her dress. She was glowing!

Below are a couple of pictures from her trip and her time at national conference. Thank you so much Allison for letting Effortless Style help you find that perfect dress for your big day!!

We asked Allison a couple of questions about her experience with Effortless Style for our readers. Please see the below
*What prompted you to seek Effortless Style’s services? What situation or problem did you need to solve?

I needed two dresses, one for my National Conference Awards Night where I would walk across a stage in the Atlanta Falcons’ football arena in front of over 10,000 people to be honored and the other for my wedding.

 
*Why did you specifically select Effortless Style to work with?
 
I needed someone who would put me at ease in my plus sized body and help me find clothes that I would look good in AND feel comfortable and confident in.
 
*Describe why you feel that working with Effortless Style was successful.
 
I knew Katie , founder of Effortless Style, had a great eye for fashion, experience with CAbi, and always liked how she dressed.  Some of that was bound to rub off in her work!  🙂
 
*If a potential client was on the fence about whether to work with Effortless Style or not, what would you say to them?
 
I would say the dresses (yes, more than one fabulous dress) Katie dressed me in for my formal occasions made me feel vibrant and confident.  Effortless Style focuses on the entire person, not just an article or two of clothing.

When I’m unsure of what to wear or struggling with putting a look together, I’m an “all black” kind of girl! 🖤 I love the monochromatic look! And I love how I fell when I’m wearing all black! I always feel more confident and put together. Do you have a go-to color that you love to wear?

Seasonal confusion: when the calendar says Fall bu Seasonal confusion: when the calendar says Fall but the weather says.....Fall, no maybe still Summer, no....definitely Fall! Cold mornings + hot (hot) afternoons can make getting dressed in the mornings quite difficult! 🥶🔥

While we’re still dealing with the up and down temps, a great way to transition into fall is with a cute fall top paired with some fabulous shorts and booties! 🍂👢It’s a great way to balance your look for the cold morning temps that sometimes turn into sweaty afternoons. And we sure love how our stylist @jennymgrubb has pulled off this very look today! Outfit details linked via @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2YM0s #liketkit
“I have always believed that fashion is not only “I have always believed that fashion is not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them more confidence.” - Yves Saint Laurent 🖤👗
.
Agreeing with YSL on so many things, but more specifically this quote. As stylists, we know oh so well the importance that fashion plays in our everyday lives. We see it in our clients, and we see it in ourselves. There’s truly just something about getting up and putting on something pretty! It can absolutely give you confidence  and put you in a good mood to get you through your day! This gorgeous puff sleeve blouse did the trick for me today! It’s unfortunately sold out, but outfit details (and a few other favorite puff sleeve tops) linked via @liketoknow.it

Also.....in case you are new around here (YAY!)....we are a team of four stylists and it is our absolute passion here at Effortless Style to help women feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. If we can do that by helping with a closet makeover, a personal shopping trip or a styling session it becomes more than a job, it’s our purpose. And we would love to help you! ❤️ http://liketk.it/2YGzV #liketkit
Happy Thursday gang! We love sharing how to make s Happy Thursday gang! We love sharing how to make statement pieces in your closet more versatile throughout your week. ✨

Regardless of the occasion, you can dress up or down pretty much anything you own. One piece we are really loving right now is this fun dress that our stylist @jennymgrubb is rocking! Comfortable and flattering, you can wear this statement piece a few different ways to get the most out of what you already have! Love Jenny’s look with her favorite fall sneakers, but this is such a fun piece to wear multiple ways. Dressy to casual. Day to night. Easy breezy to a bit of funky fun. 💃 Jenny’s dress is sold out, but shop some similar styles by following us on the @liketoknow.it shopping app! http://liketk.it/2YgUn #liketkit
