House of Style-Personal Shopper and Stylist

Rita is fantastic! Finding clothes quickly is no easy task for me. Given Rita’s great taste and broad knowledge of what’s available, she easily directs me to web sites or stores for a great look. For someone who hates shopping, being with Rita makes the day fly by. I’ve been working with her for a couple years now and my wardrobe has completely changed and all for the better. I’m looking to her now for some help with my husband’s wardrobe.

Rita’s great! She helped me clean out my closest, organize and update my wardrobe. I am using her again as my daughter transitions to a teen;) thanks Rita!

Why did I wait so long to hire someone like Rita? I am a busy person! For the past 5 years, at least, I haven’t had time to do much shopping AT ALL. On-​line shopping was the way to go, or so I thought! I even did Stitch Fix for a year. What did that leave me with? A crowded closet with nothing that really worked with anything else and nothing I felt particularly good in. Enter Rita — first the closet cleanse. Scary… deep breath… get RID of all these funky things that you wear just because there is nothing else. Second, meet Rita at the mall where she’s pulled a great selection of pieces that work together. Way quicker than online shopping! Next, pull some accessories and create new looks. Easy, peasy, I should have done this YEARS ago. Rita is savvy, funny, and knows what she’s doing. Don’t wait. I promise you — it is so worth it!

I have been talking about this for years… hiring a personal shopper/​stylist. I am not a big fan of shopping for myself and my wardrobe, if you can even call it that, shows. I have had some outfits/​jeans/​clothes for over 10 years. With an upcoming move and a new job on the horizon, I decided it was time finally time to take action.
I did a little research on line and found Rita Hibdon at House of Style. I sent her a quick email to ask a few questions and to set-​up an appointment. She came to my condo and helped me with a «Closet Cleanse» that was much over due and severely needed. We even had enough time to go shopping that same day and begin to incorporate new items into my wardrobe. She has a great eye, and picked out some amazing pieces that were very affordable. After that fabulous day I contacted her again to help me update my make-​up and then to shop a little more for some work pieces as well as casual and date night clothes. She also put together outfits for me and took pictures of them on my phone, so that I can refer to them whenever I need a little help. She has made what once was a daunting task seem very effortless and painless. I would highly recommended her services to anyone who is looking for a little help with their wardrobe and style. She is professional, friendly and very efficient. She has a great energy about her. After spending only a few hours together, I knew I made a great choice and made an amazing new friend. She even emailed to wish me luck on my first day of work! Love the personal touch she provides.

Rita is very helpful for buying clothes. I have done shopping with her in the store in person and also online. I’m a busy person and I’m not good at getting good clothes for me and I don’t want to spend a lot of time. When I go shopping alone, I take a lot of time and am uncertain on what I want to buy and don’t find people working at the stores to be very helpful and they have lots of alterior motives. I’m very happy to pay Rita for her help. She’s really smart, very good at matching clothes to what you want and doing it FAST. Highly recommend working with her and looking forward to working with her long term :)

My husband gave me the gift of Rita for Christmas 2014. We connected in January and she helped me do a closet cleanse… getting rid of YEARS of clothes that I had in my closet but either would never… or shouldn’t ever… wear. No wonder I had «all these clothes and nothing to wear.» I was very ready to embrace new styles and as an over 40 professional, I wanted help looking stylish yet age appropriate for casual events, girls nights and work. Rita covered all the bases and «got» me right away. After the cleanse, she went out and shopped and from the comfort of home I was able to try on clothing that was EXACTLY what I needed. The things that were no-​go, she returned and I got a great new, functional wardrobe. It was so worth it, I had her come back again to do the same shopping for spring/​summer! I am loving the versatile looks she provided me… so fun. I could have shopped for hours and never put together the great wardrobe I have now.
But for me, it doesn’t stop there. I was so pleased, I asked her if she could also work with my husband. He was enjoying seeing all my new looks and wanted to do some shopping himself. We enlisted Rita to look at his closet and do some cleansing and shopping for him as well. Now either of us can go to our closet and find that «just right» outfit no matter the occasion. You think men’s clothes are easy? Trust me, with her guidance we BOTH look our best. And the best part… no shopping for hours and no stress. We are clients for life! Thank you Rita!

I love working with Rita! We have worked together for about 2 years, and I realized, after looking at my closet, I need to phone her for an apptmt! Rita is great fun to work with, and because she brings a constant flow of clothing (almost all are «right on» for me) to your dressing room, it actually saves you a great deal of time. We get so much more done when I am working with Rita.
Often times, Rita will come over to my house, and help me organize my packing for a vacation. It’s invaluable help, since I never know what to pack.
I would highly recommend having Rita help you with your wardrobe selections. She’s a gem!

Absolutely love Rita — I have a CRAZY busy schedule and Rita was referred to me by a colleague who I noticed was looking «extra sharp». Rita came into my home, went through my closet, got rid of things I never would have (but should have!) and helped me build an awesome new wardrobe. She is great with colors, seasons, business PLUS casual looks, HYPER organized and most importantly in my life… she’s WICKED FAST and I love it. I have referred her to many people and will continue to do that. I don’t love shopping or figuring out what to wear and she’s come to my rescue and I’ve forever grateful. BEST money you can spend!

Rita is wonderful. I hate to shop, I can’t match and have no interest is keeping track of what is in style.
Rita came to my house after work reviewed all my current clothes and we discussed what should stay and what should go. She asked about my preferences, comfort and interests and then she shopped and brought many items for me to review. I was really happy with her selections, they were things I liked. It was so easy and I never had to step foot in a mall or store! If you’re too busy to shop or just don’t like doing it, call Rita, she can take care of it and keep you looking good!

Rita has helped me for years. She truly has a gift and an amazing eye. I love how she helps me weed out clutter (that I have no business wearing), and then maximizes what I’ve got. She puts together combinations that I would never think of, taking my look to a whole new level. Rita also helps me shop either by going out together or by giving me a list to pursue on my own. Over the years she’s taught me a lot, but I still can’t imagine not having her input and assistance. I guarantee you’ll be happy with the results!

Rita’s help is priceless. I am so busy with work and kids, that I don’t always have the time to choose clothes that look good, fit well and are in style. Rita seems to always know what will work, without choosing outfits that are we out of my comfort zone. She has been a huge help and is a lot of fun to work with!
