I’m Monica and anyone who knows me knows that I have grown up surrounded by style, fashion and personality! So, while I took a fairly circuitous route, I’m back where I belong. Read the rest…
Hi Monica,
I asked for your help for a professional event where I didn’t want to look too young or old. It’s easy for me to dress others but for me, I wasn’t sure what to do for myself. You prescribed a bright funky colored cardigan with slacks. I took that and used what I had. I loved the outcome. Thank you for your help.

Monica is the absolute best when it comes to helping you develop your fashion sense. I signed up for her wardrobe assessment and what I really got was a life changing makeover. She helped take me from frumpy to fabulous. Additionally, through her blog and follow-up emails she has shown me some of the best places to find deals online and I am loving it. She makes fashion fun!
