Good Morning readers, how about this chic high-low wool vest by Izavel! Isabel Varella’s fabulous contemporary designs for Fall 2012 absolutely astound me. Remember when I first featured Izavel’s Fall 2012 collection in The Fall Forecast with Izavel? I discussed how I styled a leather, lamb skin vest by Izavel with three different outfits, and unsurprisingly the vest added that WOW factor to each ensemble. I only styled this wool blend vest with one outfit, but guess what! I only used old articles of clothing and accessories that I found in my closet to style it with. That just goes to prove that sometimes all you need is one new item of clothing to freshen up your wardrobe and give you a whole new look.
High-low dresses and skirts flourished this summer, but what do you think about high-low vests and sweaters for Fall 2012? If you ask me, I’d give you a Hell Yes!!! This high-low vest by Izavel adds such a dramatic effect to my black, coated denim and simple blush, lace blouse. When wearing this fashion forward outfit, I carry a classic red patent handbag to tone down the cutting edge style of the vest, yet still capture a bold look. I also don my Burberry check scarf and calf hair, leopard print booties to mix in some fun, yet classic prints that represent the color palette of the outfit.
When shooting for a more tailored business-like look, I clasp a black stretch belt with gold hardware in front of the vest to accentuate my waist. However, I only pull the belt through the inside of the vest to allow movement in the back for an effortlessly chic and glamourous look. That’s where the Business in the Front, Party in the Back title comes into play.
P.S. If you’re in Dallas, Texas during July 29-31st, make time to The Weekender fashion event. You could possibly meet the ever so talented designer of Izavel, Isabel Varella!

Styling Services

Style Consultation {$50}: Before I invade your closet, meet with me personally at a convenient location to discuss and evaluate your current style and image goals to create a customized style portfolio. The portfolio will include your age, budget, image goals, sizes, body type, body insecurities, daily routines, skin tone, hair color, eye color, and fabric, color and style preferences. We will also discuss which celebrities’ styles you’d like to borrow elements from and why. The questionnaire will help indicate if you need to consolidate and prioritize your current closet or completely reconstruct your wardrobe. Upon your request, the style consultation will be followed by a 2-3 hour Wardrobe Evaluation set at $150.
**Your customized style portfolio will be stored on file for future shopping and styling needs to help choose outfits that will highlight your best features.**
Wardrobe Evaluation {$150}: During the 2-3 hour Wardrobe Evaluation I will review all of your clothes, shoes and accessories to decide what items to keep, discard and donate. Then we will collaborate outfits together based on your personal style to determine what your wardrobe lacks. I will then compile an itemized list of pieces needed to complete your wardrobe. Upon your request, the Wardrobe Evaluation will be followed by a 4-5 hour Personal Shopping trip set at $300.
Personal Shopping {$300}: Following the personal style consultation session and a thorough wardrobe evaluation, I will act as your very own personal stylist to help relieve the stress and frustration of shopping on your own. After securing your method of payment, I’ll do all of the heavy lifting for you. I will shop at stores and boutiques myself to find the essential pieces needed to complete your wardrobe based on your personal style portfolio as well as the itemized list we created together. Fortunately, due to my partnership with several local boutiques, I am able to conveniently snag items for you either on approval (items that boutiques allow me to take on a held receipt at no charge for you to try on at home), or pieces that can be returned for a full refund. I will then deliver the items to your residence where we will try on and evaluate each item together to choose which items we should add to your collection or return. I will personally return the rejected items to the boutiques for you the following day. We will conclude the day by incorporating these new purchases into your wardrobe.
**This service is perfect for those who feel frustration in finding outfits alone, or for those who simply don’t have the time.**
Wardrobe Style Session {$150}: During the wardrobe styling session, I will take 2-3 hours to efficiently evaluate your current wardrobe. Similar to the wardrobe evaluation, I will help you distinguish between which items to keep, discard or donate. I will also offer you style advice and friendly, yet honest constructive criticism to help transform your current wardrobe into a more modern look. During this process I will ask you your image goals, body insecurities and daily routines to help indicate the type of outfits needed to fit your life style. No new clothing will need to be purchased for this service. We will simply pair outfits together that boost your personal style using the clothes, shoes and accessories that you already own. I will also help you style those items that you’d like wear differently, more frequently or that piece you’re dying to wear but just don’t know how. My goal is to maximize your outfit options and mold what you already own into a more chic and sophisticated wardrobe.
**The entire process will be documented along with pictures of your new looks for your reference. This service is perfect for those on a budget who just want to freshen up their look.**
Special Occasion Shopping {$50 + additional fees}: Special Occasions include vacations and formal events such as weddings, engagement parties, balls, showers etc. Simply contact me about the specific event to further discuss pricing according to your individual needs. A $50 consultation fee will be included with this service.
