IN-PERSON CLOSET CONSULTATIONS

Friday, January 14th, 2011

WHAT IT IS

A Closet Consultation is an audit of everything in your own closet from head to toe! Your stylist will walk you through what items to try on, explain what items fit and complement your body type and skin, and which ones don’t fit or complement that you should donate or get rid of. During the process, your stylist will take an inventory of clothing items you need to complete your wardrobe. A Closet Consultation is a great place to figure out where you are currently in your style and figure out items you should purchase to make a complete wardrobe. You should live in the Northwest US area for this service or consider trying a Webcam Closet Consultation if you live anywhere else in the world; or we can always travel to you if you cover the travel costs. (Note: LKc Style expects total privacy in these matters for you and your stylist–you should change in and out of clothes in a private room and be fully clothed while face to face).

COST

$50-150

PERSONAL SHOPPING

Friday, January 14th, 2011

WHAT IT IS

Personal Shopping will provide instant results in a better looking you! After an initial consultation, you and your stylist will go to pre-designated shops in your area that fit your new style and budget. Your stylist will choose clothing based on your needs and you can try everything on in each store. Your stylist will show you why certain clothing items fit you best, which items to avoid, and which items can be mixed and matched to make a variety of outfits. This will save you tens of hours of your own time every year wandering stores or malls piecing your wardrobe together haphazardly. Personal Shopping services are limited to clients in the Northwest US unless travel expenses are covered; if you live outside the Northwest US, you should definitely consider eWardrobing as an excellent and fun alternative!

APPROX TIME

Minimum 4 Hours

COST

Starting at $200

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“LKc Style helped me dramatically update my professional wardrobe and I feel much more confident in meetings and at events….It was fun and I really appreciated Laura’s ability to keep me focused on what I needed to buy. And I really liked her advice on what style of clothing worked for me.”

Everyone’s path is different and yours can be molded by you and your stylist in order to make the best you that you can be. LKc Style will be there for you via e-mail, phone or webcam for your questions and thoughts through the whole process.

Frequently Asked Questions, Get Your FAQs Straight

Friday, January 14th, 2011

DOES LKc STYLE FOCUS ON A PARTICULAR LOOK OR STYLE FOR THEIR CLIENTS?

No. Every LKc Style client is different–you have different jobs, social lives, and priorities–and LKc Style takes those personal factors into consideration when we are working with you. LKc Style strives for everyone to have their own individuality.

HOW CAN I PAY FOR LKc STYLE SERVICES?

LKc Style accepts many forms of payment:
Cash, Check, and Credit Card (via Paypal)

I HAVE A SMALL BUDGET FOR CLOTHES, WILL LKc STYLE STILL WORK WITH ME?

Of course! LKc Style works with ANY size budget and realizes that staying within the budget is important to our clients. Your stylist can also provide you with realistic expectations of what you can buy within your budget and a game plan of how to best utilize your budget too.

HOW MANY HOURS DOES A NEW LOOK TAKE TO GET?

Everyone of LKc Style clients has different needs so the times vary. You can see time approximations for each service listed on the services menu and you can also work with your stylist to clearly identify the time requirements specifically for you.

LKc Style Works with Female Clients

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

LKc Style was started to help the average guy get a leg-up in style–but we’ve recently been working with some lovely lady clients to provide all the same personal shopping and image consulting services! Gals, if you’ve been jealous of your husbands, boyfriends and sons getting all the LKc attention, call us for an appointment! Guys, if your girlfriend or wife needs just as much style assistance as you do–give her an LKc Style gift certificate (and book a closet consultation for yourself at the same time)! Check out some before and after photos below of our newest client. Here’s what she had to say about her LKc Style experience:

“I had a great experience with LKc Style! I’m not comfortable shopping for professional clothes on my own, so it was wonderful to have Laura there guiding me along and helping me pick flattering, age-appropriate, professional clothes. She helped me dramatically update my professional wardrobe and I feel much more confident in meetings and at events….It was fun and I really appreciated Laura’s ability to keep me focused on what I needed to buy. And I really liked her advice on what style of clothing worked for me.” –KS

Where Will You Be for Fashion’s Night Out?

Monday, September 6th, 2010

This Friday, September 10th is Fashion’s Night Out across the world…there’s one hosted in most major cities across America on that same night–check and see if you’re within driving distance (or a private jet ride close) by a host city!

Here’s what to expect from a man’s perspective:

1. Hot women everywhere; let’s face it…this event is woman-centric and therefore maybe a bit intimidating; but if you’re showing interest in your appearance, they’ll probably appreciate that.

2. Free stuff (appetizers, drinks, ties, AG Jeans, and in-store consultations)–who doesn’t like free stuff??

3. Learn something (that you perhaps haven’t learned from reading the LKc Style blog…); Brooks Brothers is hosting a “how to tie your tie or bowtie” mini-workshop during the Portland Fashion’s Night Out!

So, put on your comfortable walking shoes (but not white dad sneakers), stroll through your city and take in the women, the drinks, and maybe some cuff links too.

If you want a personal image consulting tour of Portland’s Fashion’s Night Out with Laura Knepper of LKc Style, please e-mail Laura at laura.knepper@lkcstyle.com. We’ll give you one hour free if you mention this blog post!
