Spotlight: Poplin Client, Kristin
Feminine, Unique, a bit of an Edge
As a petite woman, Kristin felt restricted to choose from the limited options available. Frustrated, she tried clothing memberships only to discover that she still felt uninspired by clothing that didn’t resonate with her. Our first job was to let her think big about what truly appeals to her, rather than choosing from the available options.
Approach:
We dove deep into Kristin’s existing pieces to help identify her style key words. Then, through the collaborative process, we pushed to see what pieces were both appealing and a little bit intimidating. We focused on finding an array of items that were functional while still being very exciting to her. Her Wishlists were not limited to petite items and instead relied on expert tailoring to transform each piece into a unique garment that would last for years.
From the client:
I started looking for a stylist after I saw some pictures of myself with friends. Somehow, I just wasn’t “getting” how to clothe myself. I was also starting to recognize that my career wardrobe was not adequate to the role I was playing. Finding Poplin and Mellicia was a game-changer. I now have clothes I love, I feel confident in what I’m wearing and she’s taught me how to shop for where I am in life (career, social life) and my body type. Mellicia’s website is a great place to start. I really appreciate that there are so many different clients showcased on her site – that tells me she tailors her approach to each person individually. This was my experience as well. And Mellicia is great to work with – she has an exuberance that is contagious! From the first Zoom introduction, what comes through is someone who cares that clients feel confident in what they’re wearing and in themselves. Previous to finding Poplin, I had been doing some clothing memberships. I had gotten used to getting the box and making immediate decisions, even if I was “just ok with” what I was getting. The work with Mellicia is a longer-term process. It is a process of building and investing in a thoughtfully designed wardrobe. It is also a process of learning how to add to, maintain, and edit a thoughtfully designed wardrobe. If I had to choose between getting clothes immediately that I’m “just ok with” or spending more time to build and invest in clothes I love, I choose the latter! Working with Mellicia was a great investment. I usually don’t spend money on myself like this, but her guidance is well worth the investment of time and funds. Now, in my career and in my social life, I’ve received so many compliments on how I look. But more importantly, I love the way I look.
