Build a Capsule Wardrobe With Virtual Stylist, Alarna Hope.

This depends on the types of items you have in your edit.

For womens capsule wardrobe edits: I find with 4 tops, 4 bottoms, a pair of shoes, a dress, two layers and three accessories, we can often make around 40+ plus outfits.

For mens capsule wardrobe edits: With 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 2 shoes, two layers and 2 accessories, we can often make 50+ outfits.

Capsule wardrobes that are heavy on dresses and light on layers will have less outfits in total.

Outside of my fee, your budget should reflect the average cost per item in brands you normally shop with x15.

You are welcome to give me a specific budget if you have one in mind, or just tell me the types of brands you shop with so I can select items for you within that price range. If there are any high ticket items on your list, ie: a leather jacket, an evening dress, a suit, etc, please consider the cost of these when budgeting.

As a rough guide, clients who have booked a casual wardrobe and shop in places like Forever New, Shieke, Nine West, Industrie & Academy Brand, etc, for clothing, will spend around $2k-$2500 on a capsule.

You buy the items from the edit. It’s my job to find them, pick your sizes and put them into looks. You can buy all the items or the items you like most.

Keep in mind, when you get the edit, it’s time sensitive. Items can sell out in stores while they’re in your shopping cart, so once your edit arrives in your inbox, act on it quickly. If any items sell out within 48 hours of me sending you the list, I’ll gladly find alternatives, after that, I don’t redo edits.

Most of my clients are people who tell me they never have luck with shopping— both online and in-person. What makes shopping with me more successful is that I not only shop with your sizing and measurements (and scrutinise every item I recommend to get you the best possible fit), but I also shop with a plan and the knowledge of how to put a great interchangeable wardrobe together.

I’ve been running my styling business for 12 years and in that time I’ve gotten to know what brands work best for different body shapes, height, quality and durability preferences and I have a deep understand of how clothing should fit and be constructed.

After you’ve received your edit and your items have arrived, you also get a fifteen minute zoom session with me to run over the fit of your items. For example, if your pants need a hem, I’ll advise you on that. If you’re worried about having a hard to fit shape or have any allergies or preferences that heavily affect what you can and can’t wear, you’re welcome to get in touch before booking and we can discuss your concerns and whether this service is the right fit for you.

• A Core Wardrobe is a selection of wardrobe basics that mix and match into your current wardrobe, regardless of occasion or how much you already own.

• A Capsule Wardrobe is a small selection of clothing, both basics and statement pieces that are designed to all go together, but suit one area of your lifestyle, ie: work, play, going out, pregnancy or travel.

• When you have some great items in your wardrobe, but nothing to go with them, your wardrobe is lacking the foundation pieces it needs to be versatile, so you’ll be best with a core wardrobe edit.

• If you love the idea of having seperate areas of your wardrobe to work with, like clothes just for work and just for casual, a capsule wardrobe is ideal.
