Well, I first met Kathi through a friend of my wife who was also a friend of Kathi, and
basically I just put the word out that I'm looking for redoing my wardrobe. I was tired
of the way I was looking and thought, "God, there's got to be somebody who could help
me with all that," and my wife put the word out to her group of friends and one of them
came back and told me about Kathi. So before I would describe my wardrobe as
'shlumpy' and basically not any real particular form to it, just something I would put on
because I knew I couldn't go outside without clothes so I would just put something on.
And then afterwards it was a neat look, it was an up to date look and much easier for
me to go outside feeling good about myself. As I recall, Kathi came over and went through
the wardrobe that I had and there were items that she suggested getting rid of, items to
keep, items that we weren't sure what to do with. But there was a lot of stuff that she
said no, this has to go, this is really not helping me at all. And the concept that I
understood, which was quite compelling, was the idea that she encouraged me to clear out
space, or create space. Creating space then allows new things to come in that are suited
to me at this point in my life. So that was a major shift for me, just making that space.
Now that I've created the space and brought in new clothes and I just feel good about
whatever I put on. I know that it looks right on me. I didn't have that perspective looking
at my own self in the mirror to know do I really look good, is this right, is this up
to date and that's why I relied on Kathi for her expertise and guiding. And she is quite
picky so if something didn't work right and I'm ready to buy it and say, "Let's just go
and get out of here," she said, "No, it's not right, it's not worth the money, leave
it." And I really, really value that. If you have any interest at all in buying
things that are right for you and that will fit well and look right on you, check with
Kathi. Have her work with you. It saves a lot of time, it saves a lot of money.
I would say that I have a much more confident feel about myself. If I'm going to a job interview
or to work, whatever the case may be, I feel much more confident going in there knowing
that I'm dressed appropriately and I can focus more on the details of the conversation or
the details of my work rather than worrying, "Is this... do I look like... I'm kind of
not doing it right, here." Well Kathi is taking care of not only my overall
image, but actually the night that I got home after the very first outing with her, my wife
emailed her and asked for the same treatment for herself. She was that impressed.
