“Michelle is a life and time saver!”

I recently read an article about the high level of happiness achieved when you are able to find resources that save you your valuable time.  And let me tell you, Michelle picks out the most beautiful pieces and finds them more quickly than I ever could and without hours of research on my end – happiness achieved!   As a mother that works full-time, I don’t have that much free time to begin with, so I would look online for something for a few minutes for days and finally settle on something that I ended up only sort of liking and then never wearing again.

After one session with Michelle taking a look through my closet everything changed!  We discussed my likes and dislikes and she was able to discern my taste and style and she came up with some looks that not only fit my style, but also the event/venue/location.  She will find clothing, handbags, jewelry and shoes to complete your look and depending on how sizing works for the brands she’s purchasing, she will bring over multiple sizes for you to try.  And the best part…whichever ones you don’t like or that don’t fit, she returns for you!  Hassle free!  I’ve used Michelle for vacations, work parties and every day work looks, and I consistently receive compliments on my outfits.  Not only are her looks polished and often one-of-a-kinds, they are all reasonably priced based on my budget.  Michelle will even look at items already in your closet and incorporate those when appropriate.  Michelle is a pleasure to work with and always brings professionalism and positivity to our sessions – I already can’t wait to use her styling services for my next event!

“I cannot say enough about the services provided”

I am a high school teacher, and I reached out to Michelle because I was recently given some new opportunities at work that would require me to allow visitors and administrators to visit my classroom both announced and unannounced. Prior to taking on this role, visitors were few and far between, and to be honest my daily style reflected more comfort than professionalism.

I asked Michelle to both assist me with modeling ideas for what pieces that I already owned worked together and also purchasing new items to add to my existing wardrobe. Not only did she deliver in both areas, but she did so in a way that was personalized, professional, and catered to what I was looking for. My budget for clothing was relatively small, but the amount of clothing and options that Michelle provided for me were more than enough for me to have variety in the outfits and still feel like I could look like I had new stuff. Additionally, I have been able to wear items that I have owned for years that have been left unworn, as she added pieces that complimented my current style. Since high school students can be both judgmental and inappropriate, I tasked Michelle with finding items that looked classy, but also avoided accentuating certain aspects of my figure, as I was not interested in gaining negative/unwanted attention from high school aged boys. All of the options provided for me were not only cute, but comfy and allowed me the versatility to go from daytime to evening looks with ease while avoiding being too clingy or revealing. Michelle brought all of the clothing to me, had me try it on, and helped me to match/blend the new items with my existing closet. We discussed items that I liked and any that I didn’t, and she took care of returning/exchanging items that did not fit or that I didn’t feel I wanted to keep. I cannot stress enough that there was zero responsibility on my part other than to try the clothing on and inform her of what I wanted to keep. Michelle had thought of everything and even provided me with digital look boards of every item purchased so that I could reference them after she left.

She has been in constant contact with me about my style and has followed up to ensure that I was still happy with the items received. Styled by M. Jonesy is more than just purchasing clothing for people, it is a company that takes into account the needs and desires of their clients, and really goes above and beyond to ensure that no matter what service you are interested in you feel comfortable and confident at all stages of the process. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a change or even just a little update to their current look to reach out to Michelle for a consultation and allow her to show you how easy it is to re-invent yourself and start feeling better about how you look each day!

“I got tons of compliments”

Michelle helped style my outfit for my photoshoot with my little baby. She let me borrow one of her bodycon dresses. At first I was really hesitant to try it on thinking it wouldn’t look good because it would be too tight. However, Michelle encouraged me to try it on. To my pleasant surprise it looked really good! I felt super comfortable and happy as you can see by my facial expressions in my photoshoot. I have beautiful pictures with my baby that will last a lifetime.

After such a great experience with Michelle for my family photoshoot, I decided to try her again to help me with some of my professional looks.  I had just had a baby and was heading back to work and needed something fresh. She was able to find me some great, affordable work looks.  I got tons of compliments from my co-workers and clients and felt great in my new work dresses!

“She worked within my budget”

I requested help from Michelle for two very different weddings I was attending, a country wedding in Colorado and a formal wedding in Chicago. Michelle suggested dresses that could be worn and styled in different ways so I could wear them for other occasions after the weddings. In addition to the dresses, Michelle suggested accessories (jewelry, shoes, and purse) and makeup to complete the looks. I for once felt like I was heading out the door with a complete look/outfit. Not only was Michelle great to work with, she worked within my budget and suggested pieces that could be mixed and matched for other occasions. I will definitely work with Michelle again!

“never felt more prepared for a trip”

I primarily buy new clothes for work, which is formal work attire, so I needed some new clothes for casual/the weekend as well as a bachelor party in Vegas. Michelle provided me with a lot of different options for the casual/weekends, including shoes, hats, and some good staple jeans. I liked the fact she suggested clothes from all different stores, price ranges, and I was able to order them all so I could try them all at home. As the dad of two young kids, I wasn’t quite sure what to wear out in Vegas anymore, so Michelle gave me some great recommendations. She suggested a more casual and fitted suit, which could be worn all together or separately, new shoes, and some new shirts that could be worn interchangeably I felt I was set for my trip.

I never felt more prepared for a trip, and when I got to Vegas I really enjoyed all the outfits she suggested because I didn’t have to worry about what to wear. I continue to wear all the clothes she suggested and look forward to working with her again. I definitely suggest working with Michelle.

“Michelle is my go-to style expert”

I had to go to a summer wedding and wanted something different to wear. I contacted Michelle and she was able to find me several dresses for me to try.  She brought them to me to try in the comfort of my own home and with my own accessories and shoes (which she helped me mix and match). She saved me a lot of time because I didn’t have to step foot in a store to try to find the perfect dress.  She did all of that for me. The dress she picked was nothing that I would have chosen, but when I tried it on I felt amazing! I received so many compliments, I want to find another event where I can wear my dress again! Thank you for making me feel great and making my life easier Michelle!

“I can only rave about Michelle’s services!”

Speaking from personal experience, I can only rave about Michelle’s services! Turns out things “shift a little bit” post baby, and an already full schedule gets even tighter. Michelle customized a styling package for me from 1,000 miles away, and then came for a visit and purged my closet. In the end, investing in Michelle to curate a personal style for me easily paid for itself in hard savings 💰💰💰, saved me so.much.time ⏰ and:

– resulted in some great work basics from amazon fashion for basically free.
– saved me $200 on a new winter coat (from TJMaxx)
– provided flattering options for two weddings 3 months post baby (not an easy feat)
– helped me purge 2 garbage bags of clothes from my closet.
– gave me a little pep in my step when I truly needed it most!
– LISTENED to me and styled within my comfort zone… while encouraging me to tip toe out of it here and there.

Most importantly, Michelle gave me back endless hours of my time, saving me from having to shop on my own and provided me a pinterest board / links to order online direct to my home! She also simplified my style game, and made getting ready each day so.much.faster! (and she reassured me that I can keep wearing all black 🕶, and just pop a color here and there 🙌)

“I’m always impressed with her professionalism”

I am Michelle’s personal trainer, so simply due to my profession and always being in workout clothes, I struggle a bit with dressing for big events like weddings. However, when I train with Michelle we often discuss upcoming life events for both of us and I see her light up when I mention a wedding, a big night out, or a vacation I will be taking. Michelle has helped me look sassy and classy for a friend’s wedding, a bachelorette party in Nashville, as well as just a night out with girlfriends.

I’ve lost quite a bit of weight over the last several years – so I’m not sure what size I am in for many types of clothes. Michelle is awesome about bringing me a variety of options to choose from, and in a number of sizes, so I feel comfortable. She takes time to explain to me what she paired together for me and why she thinks it would be a good look on me.

Overall, I’m always impressed with her professionalism and her knowledge of all the latest looks I would otherwise have no idea about. I always get compliments when I’m in an outfit styled by M. Jonsey. I guess she still likes me despite all the push-ups and burpees I make her do.

“Thank you for helping me get my life together.”

I am the most disorganized person when it comes to my closet, so I jumped at the chance to hire Michelle for her Closet Cleanse package. A box of hangers, three donation bags, and a few hours later…and it’s so fresh and so clean. Thank you for helping me get my life together (and for not judging the before too much…)
