Working with Mellicia was more than I could have asked for. I reached out to her when I knew that I was ready to start looking into dating again. Having been out of the game for 20+ years and now re-entering the scene with a child, middle-aged, a career and a wardrobe that had not been touched in decades, I needed a professional. I wanted someone who could put a few outfits together so that I could feel confident, sexy (which I didn't know how to accomplish), and still be authentic to the "new" me following my divorce.
What I got was a friend, a cheerleader, an education on how to style myself, and an amazing wardrobe that takes me from kids games, to work, to galas to date nights. She makes me look amazing even when I'm in the check-out line at Costco. Getting ready is so easy now. She works with your existing clothes, brings in new pieces and makes everything easy to dress up or dress down. Getting your "wishlist" is the BEST. It is such a treat to confidently place your online orders and when they arrive, they fit like a glove and you can start wearing them immediately. It is incredible and such an education.

Best decision of my life! Working with Melicia was the best thing I have done for myself as a single, professional woman living in the city. Creating a unique style approach for my body type and lifestyle has made getting dressed so much more peaceful and inspiring. Now I look put together as I've always hoped to look. Shopping is SO easy for me now, because I find and style pieces that work for my lifestyle. Forever will work with Mellicia!

Mellicia was referred to me by my sister who loved her sessions. I was the first virtual closet visit and it was so freeing! Mellicia was caring, warm and patient. I recommend her services as this was an incredible experience. I now feel happy, comfortable and beautiful!

When I reached out to Mellicia early this year, the pandemic fatigue had finally gotten to me. I knew I needed a transformation and it was long overdue but I had been putting it off. I was a bit unsure about how the styling service would work in this new pandemic world that we now live in and was still on the fence on whether I should go forward with it. It took just one meeting with Mellicia and I knew I could trust her to go on this journey with me. Mellicia has been so AMAZING to work with - she really listened and took the time to understand my needs, aspirations and created a customized styling profile. We did a closet edit - online! - guess what, having Mellicia in my closet virtually worked out pretty well. The uber wishlist was great and so was the fitting session - I now own clothes that are tailored and suited for my style and body type. Mellicia then paired all my clothes and accessories to put together an awesome Outfit catalog that I can refer to anytime, and that really takes the stress off of dressing for a busy mom such as me! The photoshoot was so much fun, and because it was all outdoors, I felt super safe to participate. Overall, I feel a renewed sense of confidence after going through this process. Mellicia has really helped me get my swagger back!

Mellicia really helped me find me. I always had an idea of the kind of vibe/feeling that I want to give out to the world through clothing, but I could never get it quite right. I struggled with expressing myself in that way and often looked in the mirror and thinking that "this isn't the real me". Despite how silly that sounds lol, that was my true feeling for many of the clothes I wore before I met Mellicia. After Mellicia helped me, I not only start to wear clothes that I truly enjoy, but am also start to get better at finding the exact kind of clothes that I want from the sea of different kinds of stores online. For all of these, I thank Mellicia very much! And besides, Mellicia is super delight to work with, which is something that I always appreciate!

Any interaction with Mellicia always brightens my day and is well worth the investment in her style services. The full package is full of value and transformed my life, and my wardrobe... making it more in line with who I am, and easy to use. She taught me how to move forward on my own, or I can reach out as needed for major milestones in my life (pregnancy, post-partum, new job, etc). Her blog articles are brimming with gems. Her services would make a great mother's day or holiday gift for your wife, girlfriend, or partner! It's the gift that keeps on giving (in a good way!) Highly recommend.

Short version: Mellicia is a wizard that can make stress about personal presentation vanish, and is just a supremely fun person to work with while doing it.
Long version:
I've always struggled with clothing and fashion--I've spent most of my life giving up that battle and falling back on the 'jeans, t-shirt, hoodie' paradigm that's so common in the tech industry. To add injury to insult, when I decided to transition in my 30s, and the resulting need to overhaul my wardrobe, I was faced with a mostly alien world. Walking into a big clothing/department store, with a seeming infinite of choices, and intimidating salespeople, and weird sizing (and my weird sizes!), and not having any idea of a style or objective in buying things... well, it was frankly terrifying. So I decided to call in an expert, in Mellicia, and I'm so glad I did!
First off, she made me go on shopping trips, into some of these places that were out of my comfort zone, but instead turned them into something of a 'guided tour' experience, and helped break down a big scary thing into pieces I could manage and understand. Plus, walking into a place and finding out there's already a bunch of stuff waiting for you to try on in the back feels like a total 'rock star' experience. Total 180 from my past fears.
Secondly, while she did pick a variety of things to try out on our first trip, based on a few ideas I had in our discussions, I never felt like I was being steered or railroaded into one particular fashion. In fact, much to my surprise, I found out I did actually have opinions about these things, and Mellicia was super attentive in picking up on what I liked. Iterating on that feedback, she helped me find a style that legitimately feels like me, and now I have a mental model of what's probably going to work for me when I go out shopping now.
Which, I should say, is something I'm comfortable doing now! That's probably the best thing I can say about my experience--I'm sure there's places that can pick out coordinated outfits and call it a day, but by working with Mellicia I've managed to overcome something that's stressed me out for a really long time, and was a major sticking point in achieving my transition goals, and it was entirely a fun and enjoyable time. Well worth it! -

Mellicia donated a gift certificate to a nonprofit and I bought it. Best decision I ever made. And all we did was go through my own closet! I can't imagine how much more amazing it would be to have her shop with me. What made her stand out was that she empowered me to learn how to shop for myself. She studied my shape and listened closely to my preferences and then we went through my closet. It's like I got a sort-of template to work off of for what looks good on me and what doesn't. So now I can shop at a thrift shop, consignment shop, or Nordstrom - anywhere - and know what looks good on me and why. That is life-changing for someone like me that sucks at putting outfits together but who really wants to look polished. I am sooo glad I met her. She didn't judge me, didn't try to get me to buy new clothes I didn't want nor need, and was extremely respectful of my time and my space. She didn't pressure me into spending more money on her "bigger" packages nor into going to fancy boutiques. I love knowing how what specific pieces my closet still needs to feel complete. Friends and family have already noticed my new look and it's only been a few days since Mellicia came into my life. If you are on the fence, just go for it and call her. My closet is now like a beautiful boutique curated just for me. It feels amazing to get dressed now thanks to her.

Working with Mellicia is like working with your best friend. She is fun and kind and knows just what to ask to figure out what I like and want. After we cleaned out my closet I had nearly nothing to wear - literally one pair of pants and a few shirts! Even so I was very apprehensive about shopping. But the trip was amazing. Working with the style guide Mellicia had come up with based on my personal style, everything we tried was my style and came from stores I can easily visit to update my wardrobe in the future. I will happily continue my work with Mellicia and would recommend her to anyone!

I decided to look for a personal stylist after quickly gaining weight due to a new medication. The department store I usually shop at offers personal stylists without a fee but I was really looking for someone who could come into my home, see the way I live, see what I already own and work with me to formulate a plan based on all that info. I'm so happy I found Meliccia as she does all this and more! She made me feel instantly comfortable and picked up on my insecurities and areas of concern right away. I wanted someone to push me out of my rut of jeans and sweatshirts and she delivered ten-fold on our shopping day. Not to mention all the follow up support and check-ins she provides! The icing on top of the cake is that with the Style 360 package she photographs all your new outfits and you have easy access to them on the internet - so if you're like me and still get drawn back to jeans and sweatshirts because that's your habit, you can just whip up all the outfit pictures and pick one to try out that day. Highly, highly recommend!
