What I Do

“Lynn made it so much fun to try on shoes and clothes, especially things that I would not have had the courage to try on myself!  She made me feel so comfortable and I’m thrilled with what she picked out. I credit Lynn with helping me regain my confidence with a new wardrobe after having a baby! Also, she was incredibly helpful cleaning out my closet and getting rid of clothes that did not fit, weren’t flattering, or were no longer in style. We donated a lot and it felt great to purge.”

“The smallest piece made me feel like a different person”

My Story: From Hand-Me-Downs to Head-Turners

I wasn’t born stylish. I grew up in hand-me-downs, watching other kids walk into school in brand-new outfits, wishing I could do the same. But every once in a while, I’d get something new—and even the smallest piece made me feel like a different person. That feeling stuck with me and shaped everything I do today.

My passion for styling started early. When I was a teenager, I helped my cousin Peggy put together outfits and realized how much joy and confidence style could bring. That spark never left.

For 25 years, I balanced two great loves: teaching by day and working in retail by night. I gained hands-on experience at brands like J.Crew, Anthropologie, Saks, Talbots, Soma, White House Black Market, and Chico’s. In my corporate retail job, I became a top-performing stylist known for my sales, client satisfaction, and ability to teach women how to dress with confidence.

“I’ve helped hundreds of women rediscover their confidence”

The Shift: From Classroom to Closet

In 2016, I officially launched my personal styling business while still teaching full-time. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of women transform their closets and rediscover their confidence through wardrobe edits, shopping sessions, and personalized styling services.

I’ve also stepped into leadership roles in the fashion industry—training and mentoring styling teams across the country. Those experiences only deepened what I already knew: when a woman feels good in her clothes, everything shifts.

“I’ve worked with Lynn in a variety of ways. First she did a massive edit of my closet. (We gave away four bags of clothes!)  I’ve used Lynn’s personal shopping services, visiting local shops to reinvent my wardrobe. Lynn pulled together incredible outfits that look wonderful and fit great.”

WHY I DO THIS WORK

I came back to what I love most: working one-on-one with women who are ready for more than just a closet refresh. They're ready to reclaim their confidence and build a wardrobe that reflects who they are today.

Through my Style with Intention™ method, I’ll help you:

Clarify your current style and goals

Build ready-to-wear outfits that reflect who you are and where you're going next

My clients love my eye for putting looks together, my humor and warmth, and my ability to size up their wardrobe and know exactly what’s missing. I not only style them—I teach them how to dress and shop with confidence, even when I’m not around.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

IT ALL STARTS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION.

→ If we’re a good fit, we set up a meeting to go over your style goals and make a plan.

→ Then we dive into your closet for a full edit.

→ From there, I create personalized Lookbooks so you can shop online or in-store.

→ If you’re local, we shop together.

→ Try-on sessions, follow-up emails, checklists, and ongoing support—I’ll be with you every step of the way.

What you get is not just a better wardrobe, but a lasting transformation.

What I believe

  • I’m here to take the stress out of getting dressed—and help you build a wardrobe that feels like you, only better.

  • With my Style with Intention™ method, you’ll finally stop second-guessing, start loving what you wear, and get dressed in half the time.

  • I help accomplished women 40+ stop the endless cycle of ‘nothing to wear’ and create a wardrobe that aligns with who they are today (and where they’re headed next).

When I’m not styling clients, you’ll find me curled up with a good book, hanging out with my pets, or buying yet another thing with a heart on it (it’s kind of my signature). I’m a retired teacher, a former Teacher of the Year, and someone who believes style should be empowering, authentic, simple, and kind.

I’m not fancy. I’m not about trends. I’m about helping real women feel really good in what they wear—and doing it with heart.
