Am I a good candidate for an in-home styling session?
If getting dressed is a chore, then yes! It's one of the biggest perks of being a chick!  But for many women it's uninspiring and overwhelming. I can show you how to love getting dressed again! 

What's the process like when you work with Barbra?
Before I step foot in your home, I ask a series of questions to help to get a sense of the person I'll be working with – personality and lifestyle, not just prevailing trends in fashion, determine my direction.

• I ask you to eat before the session
• Wear something easy to get in and out of
• Pull out everything you're not wearing
• Make all your accessories accessible
• Lay out your jewelry
• Have large garbage bags on hand
• A digital camera
• How you organize your clothes.
  
  
  What are the results of an in-home styling session?
  I have a client whose anxiety about getting dressed to go out for the evening had caused friction between her and her husband. That oh-my-God-nothing-looks-right-and-we-have-to-leave panic is now gone.
  
  A big part of what I do is free people from their internal shackles, from the limits they put on themselves about what they can and cannot do.
  
  Will I need to buy a whole new wardrobe?
  Not even close. Like so many other things in life, you already have everything you need right in front of you. For example, it's time to start looking at your ex favorite sweater and think, "how could I tailor it?  What color could I dye it?  What would it look like with the arms chopped off?" This is the basic thought behind everything I do. 
  
  I use my three signature guiding principles: eco-selfishness, sweaters in my head, and small space, big dreams.
  
  What is Eco-Selfishness?
  Eco-selfish is how I describe why I do what I do.  Eco: ecologically minded and oriented toward helping others. Selfish: taking care of yourself.  
  
  Being eco-selfish means working with what you have rather than constantly buying more. You acquire new clothes and nothing goes into a landfill.
  
  What are Sweaters in Your Head?
  Once, while helping a client sift through sweaters, we chatted about our experiences with men. It seemed somehow appropriate to be purging her wardrobe while we were purging our emotions. Then she said something poignant: "It's hard to let go of that sweater in your head."  
  
  That statement really affected me. It's not the actual sweaters in my wardrobe that I have trouble purging, it's what they mean to me, the people and the experiences the garments represent, that I struggle to let go. 
  
  I may not have clothing cluttering my closet, but I understand what makes it difficult for my clients to let go of their outdated clothing. My talent for editing wardrobes not only helps my clients flush out the clothing they no longer wear, it often aids in clearing out some of the unnecessary sweaters in their heads, too.
