Status Image Consulting

This review is loooong over due. I was in the process of changing jobs when I started working with Jenna (April 2015), and Jenna was amazing. We did a closet audit, and turns out I have a habit of buying clothes that don’t fit properly and that aren’t flattering — which my husband had been telling me (complaining) about for years.
We went shopping to replenish the wardrobe after paring back about 85% of it. Shopping was a breeze. She’d preshopped at several stores, and while I hate shopping, it was definitely tolerable. She even convinced me to try on a couple pencil skirts (I never wear skirts), and I found one that hit the mark. We weren’t able to find everything on my list, but she sent me a bunch of online links to things she recommended, and those peices rounded out the wardrobe. It’s been several months since I worked with Jenna, and I have to say there were no duds in the bunch — everything that I bought, I’ve worn and loved. It’s a little pricey, but considering I donated or consigned at least a thousand dollars of clothes I rarely wore/didn’t love (some of which still had TAGS on them), I think it’s worth it to invest a little more upfront and make sure I get better use out of the things I do buy.

What a find. Jenna from Status Image Consulting pruned my husband’s and my closets, and then took us shopping. The best part — she had already preselected clothes in multiple stores for us to try. She has a great eye for good clothes, gives her feedback in a very friendly and non-​threatening way, and is a pleasure as a shopping companion. I’ve never paid anyone to shop for me before, and was wondering if I was wasting money. On the contrary, I feel now that all the outfits I bought are great. None will sit in the closet gathering dust. I plan to use Jenna’s services again every once in a while. I am not a fan for shopping for clothes, and don’t have a good dress sense. Glad that people like Jenna do what they do.

Jenna was fantastic. I am a medical professional and I have needed new clothes for years. I have no connection to her, as I just moved back from the east coast and found her by browsing Unilocal.I’m the type of shopper that runs in, runs out, and buys things off the sale rack. I hate shopping, and my friends have been telling me for years I need a wardrobe update. I finally bit the bullet and decided to hire a stylist. She was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable.
We started with a closet audit to see how things go between her and I. We threw out about 70% of my clothes, which needed to go. She showed me new ways to style what I currently had, found the «gaps» in my wardrobe, and helped me to pick out more flattering fits and styles. She listened to what I was hoping to accomplish with items.
I followed up with a shopping trip. She got there an hour early and managed to set aside clothes in 7+ stores between Valley Fair and Santana Row. It was fantastic, she picked things I never would have picked for myself, and they look good. I’m thrilled with her choices, and excited to wear my new clothes. She has a very good eye for body type.
I should have done this year ago, as I hate shopping, but we were extremely productive. We got most of what I needed but still needs more trips. I’m looking forward to using her again in the future, in the end, this will save me loads of money not buying things that don’t fit right or are not flattering, and in the end I have much nicer and more stylish choices.
Before hiring someone, I was worried I might have to deal with a size 0 enhanced model like stylist that would pick things they would wear. Instead, I was delighted to deal with a very knowledgeable, educated, friendly and normal person that did a great job. Thanks Jenna, much appreciated!

Jenna was wonderful. She made shopping very easy and helped me to pick out so many things I would never had even tried on. I loved that I could be in the dressing room and she would bring me all kinds of things to try on in my size and helped me to evaluate the look and fit. What worked and what didn’t work for me. i have needed this forever. I never knew how to dress nicely and it changed my whole perspective on getting dressed every day.

I do not have a natural feel for fashion, and had been toying with getting a «closet audit» for some time to help direct my shopping and clothing choices. I felt like I was spending a needless fortune trying to look my best, and not succeeding. However, I didn’t really want a stranger picking through my clothes.
I finally bit the bullet though and am so glad I picked Jenna. She is easy-​going and down-​to-​earth, fun to hang out with, and didn’t pull a Simon Cowell on my clothing choices. Rather, she spent a lot of time patiently surveying my entire closet, explaining why some things worked for my body (or the fashion decade) and some didn’t, and helping me assemble and photograph outfits I never would have thought of but really do make a big difference in how I look and feel. Plus, they are still my clothes – «me”– and as such comfortable to wear, with some back-​of-​the-​closet items now in rotation after seeing them with fresh eyes,. For example, a pair of earrings I hadn’t worn since college and a sweater I had contemplated giving to Goodwill are now staples.
It definitely was painful to put aside hundreds of dollars of clothes that I had bought on a whim because I loved the fabric, design or look on the model, but I am selling some at a consignment store and got a lot of things tailored — makes a huge difference. However, I now have a much better feel for what unflattering styles not to waste my money on, and feel like a weight has been lifted now that I have a streamlined closet. I can dress in about 5 minutes every day and have received compliments on my outfit choices.

Everyone cares about how they look, right? But it turns out 95% of people are wearing bad or mediocre clothes without realizing it. Even if you wear «pretty good» clothes, why settle for pretty good?
I thought my old clothes were pretty good. But Jenna knows how to pick GREAT clothes. She taught me that the best outfits aren’t made out of pieces that try to be cool or flashy or have their own attitude. The best clothes make you look like your most authentic self (who is good-​looking).
Jenna’s consulting is eye opening. Why do people go to college and pay thousands of dollars to get educated in useless subjects? In a couple hours Jenna will educate you about something that *matters* — dressing well.

Jenna is absolutely amazing at what she does! I met her through a friend and so far we have reviewed my closet and went on a shoe shopping trip. During the closet session, Jenna clearly explained to me why the majority of my clothes didn’t look flattering on me — wide horizontal stripes, puffy sleeves, etc made me look bigger than I really was. Jenna opened my eyes on my wardrobe and showed me conmbinations I never thought of — anytime I combine things the way Jenna showed me, I get complimented. The wardrobe session was extremely worthwile and was a true eye-​opening experience for me! The shoe shopping session was amazing, too, — Jenna didn’t waste time; in short 1.5−2 hours she was able to find 9 (!!!) pairs of shoes with very affordable prices and which all fit well on me. I assumed this would not be easy for Jenna since I had problems with my feet in the past and couldn’t wear medium or high heels. However, somehow, Jenna found both flats and heels for me which looked stylish and felt comfotable! Anytime I wear any of the shoes Jenna helped me choose, without exagerration, I get complimented by friends, co-​workers, or random people on the street! My Facebook is exploding from girldfriend’s comments and compliments! After meeting Jenna, overall, my style has started changing since she provided me with valuable tips and reco’s. I cannot wait to lose 5 more lbs and go clothes shopping with Jenna! She is professional, an expert and talented at what she does, and has a great personality! Work with Jenna and you will look your best at all times. It’s so worth investing in Jenna’s help instead of spending lots of money on clothes that do not look good on you. At least that’s what I learned :-) I am a business professional @ Silicon Valley in my mid-20’s (female) who needed a major style makeover.

I am a law student, who needed a business suit. Jenna was conscious of my limited time, budget, and body shape. She took me on a targeted shopping trip to stores that would have suits that fit my criteria. In 80 minutes, we found me a $ 200 suit that looked great. She even helped advise the alterations lady on how to alter it to make it look even better. I am thrilled with the result.
Jenna is knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend using her services whether it be for a targeted trip or for a closet rehaul.

Thank you Jenna!
I knew that so much of my wardrobe was outdated because it was pre-​kids. My body isn’t quite what it used to be but Jenna really knew how to make me look stylish without looking silly, and to accentuate what I would like to and do the opposite with some other areas (tummy!!)
I got a closet assessment and had some personal shopping all without her making me feel embarrassed. Very important!
I am giving 5 stars!
