Jackie Conlin – Personal Image Consultant

So I realized one day that shopping at Banana Republic for the rest of my life wasn’t going to cut it, and along came Jackie through a friend! Man am I lucky to have her in my life. Why? I hate shopping. I mean HATE. Plus, if I could wear the same thing every day I would. So right before you arrive, Jackie sweeps through the stores at which you agree to shop, and *poof* there’s a rack of clothes there that match your style, fit you like a glove, plus she has this gift of seeing things on the rack that you’d never pick for yourself but look amazing on you. So every season or so we meet, usually just before the sales because I like the sales, and we go to work (well, she does). Looking for something the stores don’t have in stock? No problem, she’ll search and even order online for you. Closet too full to even get started? She’ll come your home to help you clean out your closet. Don’t know how to put looks together? She’ll come to your home to photograph complete looks with whatever is in your closet (new and existing). She’s a full service, incredibly talented stylist who will quickly become your great friend. She even turned me onto her favorite jeweler, hair salon, makeup artist, tailor, and shoe cobbler! What more can I say? Worth every penny.

I am so excited to sit down and write a review for Jackie Conlin. I was looking for a stylist who was local, connected to great products and stores, up for a challenge, and who could help me with completely renovating my wardrobe… on a budget. I had some challenges. I am petite and have lost over 65 lbs, and I am continuing to lose… so I was in need of a total makeover. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 7 years and I’m recently back to work opening my own business. Also, I am vegan, which means I don’t wear any leather products, fur, etc. This is a real challenge when it comes to shoes, handbags, and jackets. When we first spoke on the phone she was so open and willing to help me with all of these challenges. I really appreciated that. She explained every step of the process to me clearly, connected me with great people, and charged me a fair price. Jackie is a true professional in every sense of the word. She is stylish, fashionable, fun, honest, trustworthy, pays great attention to details, hard worker, connected/​networked, great sense of humor… basically, everything you need and want in a stylist. Meeting Jackie was the best gift I could’ve given myself and well worth the money and time I spent. It helped improve my self confidence and gave me the extra boost I needed to proceed into the next chapter of my life. Thank you so much Jackie, from the bottom of my heart. You have a gift, thank you.

I am so pleased to be one of Jackie’s clients! She has helped me simplify my wardrobe with clothes I feel good in and love wearing. She is professional and attentive to my individual taste and needs. She is incredibly knowledgable– one of many examples is that she knows how different brands are sized, and how they will wear with time (no more baggy bottomed pants at the end of the day!). Although I now have fewer items in my closet, she has helped me create a functional and versatile wardrobe that is easy to pack for business trips and easy to accessorize and adapt to go from office to dinner functions. Having Jackie’s expertise is an investment in yourself and I highly recommend her!

Jackie is a world class stylist with deep knowledge of clothing, accessories, fashion, superb looks, personal style, and more — I would give her 10 stars! Jackie is an expert at assessing the personality and needs of her client and comes up with perfect and unique solutions for each person she helps. Jackie is dedicated and thorough, and delivers nothing less than A+ assistance every time. Jackie has exceeded all of my expectations and has become an incredibly valuable ally. It almost feels like a crime that one could pay for her help — Jackie is a master at what she does, her work is magical!
I met Jackie about a year ago for a closet overhaul. Jackie helped me let go of twenty years’ of clothes and dozens of looks that weren’t really working for me (a major understatement — I grew up in hand me downs and in college often wore used army pants). Working with Jackie has been fun, transformative, educational, and freeing. Jackie’s help has made space in my closet and mind for great new looks that are modern yet classic, beautiful, comfortable, and practical. The shopping trips are a blast, as Jackie has great connections at all the stores. The clothes all work together really well — so many cool combinations for all types of venues — everything from office, to parties, yoga, hiking, skiing, swimming, lounging, tropical vacations, winter vacations, and more.
I now have a fantastic and complete collection of beautiful clothes which has boosted my confidence at work and everywhere else. Jackie helped me choose beautiful yet practical jewelry too — it’s over the top — lovely. As a result, people at work treat me with complete respect, and I get compliments on the clothes. At first, my surfer boyfriend wasn’t sure what to make of it all, but ever since he saw the new underwear and party outfits, he provides feedback on my choices and is fully on board :).
Hiring Jackie is of the best investments I have made in my career and life — and on many levels Jackie has helped me to see and grow beyond a number of self and family imposed style limitations I didn’t know I had. Now, a year later, each time I get dressed, I have a choice of many beautiful outfits to wear and feel great about the way I look! I’ve had so much fun with Jackie with the shopping alone, and her help is so much more than just shopping, I would recommend Jackie to anyone who is looking for a few new pieces or is looking to change up all or part of their wardrobe.

Jackie is absolutely amazing. I hadn’t done a wardrobe overhaul in years, and I needed a professional who could help me upgrade my professional image. I’ve never been one to enjoy shopping, and I didn’t want to invest a lot of time to rebuild my closet.
I found Jackie off Unilocal and she has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I have a lot more confidence, I don’t need to worry about what I’ll wear the next morning, and I don’t need to stress about having to buy new clothing by myself anymore. :)

I have known Jackie for a few years through some mutual connections. I lost about 20 lbs and was ready to amp up my wardrobe and my image for both personal and professional reasons. I knew that I was going to call her when I was ready.
I am in a sales and marketing role with higher net worth clients. I had a nice and sort of okay wardrobe of stuff but nothing special and a lot of things that just covered my body up rather than accentuating my better features. She has taught me so much about finding my style, the cuts that work on my body, designers who do quality stuff and is always steering me to things that will last and are a good investment and away from duplicates and what is not worth buying.
About 2 years ago, I hired Jackie for a complete closet edit and it was AMAZING. Talk about cathartic! We cleaned out 28 bags of clothing which she helped me either donate to one of her preferred and vetted charities so it goes to good use or in my case her assistant helped me to pack up bags to go to friends, and one of my favorite charities. I also sold a few very expensive pieces She had suggestions on where to go for consignment and where to alter things were spot on. Take every one of her vendor suggestions!
For the closet edit, she comes in with a rolling rack and her assistant and literally goes to work on your closet. It took a few hours but it flew by. She was hilarious as well as very insightful. We had a sort process that was — Get rid of, Donate, Keep, Repair-​alter and the Maybe pile of stuff that I was unwilling to part with right away either because it had a memory or was expensive. Here is the truth… every item she told me to get rid of that I could not part with was GONE in a matter of months. She was right. It was so easy to get rid of it once we went out and got the right stuff. I see the value in having a closet of stuff that all fits, looks great and goes together!
When we were done, I had an awesome clean closet. Jackie and her assistant kept a list of things I might need and she emailed me that right away. We narrowed down what I wanted and then she took me shopping. We had stuff set aside all over Union Square.
Jackie is a retail veteran and you can see the sales people at every store respect her and make sure that she is taken care of. It is awesome. You just roll in and get the trying on process done in matter of an hour rather than hours. You also know that when she likes something on you, it is sincere and if it is not working, she can veto it quickly. A majority of the stuff she pulls is really good. It is fun to try new things as many of us get into a fashion rut. Jackie is not paid on commission and her sole goal is to make you look great. She goes to great lengths to find me things that we see at stores online or elsewhere if my size is not available. She has been invaluable in keeping an eye out for things she knows I like or need and puts them on hold for me. She is on top of the sales too and saves things for me that about to go on sale.
She is a total professional. Now that we have been working together for about two years I can say that I am totally sold on her service and I don’t make any major wardrobe decision without her input. I had purchased so many things in the past that I never wore, it just doesn’t happen anymore with Jackie. I get a lot of compliments and on some dresses we have bought, I literally got 15 compliments in one day. Home run! My business is also great and I know that part of that is the confidence that I have and that radiates.
In closing, I can say that I just got engaged to the most wonderful man recently. He says that he loves coming home to me and to see what I am wearing (he leaves super early in the morning so most of what he sees is workout clothes). He knew that I really respected her opinion & called her which I found out after the fact to buy the engagement ring. He was getting frustrated at two other jewelers & she helped him find a good jeweler & select the perfect ring for me & they had it custom made in less than a week. Amazing. I love it &I am hard to please. She took him to lunch the day that he proposed & checked in on him. She really cares & it shows in what she does for you as her client.
Bottom line, she is the real deal! If you are not ready for the complete journey like me, you can also hire her for a special event — wedding, high school reunion dress or a special trip you need to shop for. She will transform your life & how you feel about yourself.

I First met Jackie in June 2013 prior to a big trip I was taking to Asia. I needed an entire new wardrobe because what I had at the time consisted of jeans and T-​shirts… Very, very old jeans and T-​shirts.
Jackie had a difficult assignment: to create an entire new wardrobe for me, casual and dressy. We’ve recently created a new fall wardrobe as well
To say she did an amazing job would be an understatement. She’s incredibly good at what she does, very creative and has an amazing eye for detail
I’d always had a very difficult time finding clothes (I“m very petite), but Jackie made it so easy. I was amazed at the beautiful clothes she found for me.
And it gets even better! Now that you have all these wonderful new clothes, Jackie puts all the outfits together for you in a «photo book» so you never have to worry about putting outfits together. They are all right there for you so you will always look great!
Jackie accomplished a complete makeover for me. She is truly professional and very talented.
She has a wonderful personality and makes the entire shopping experience so much fun. I look forward to working with her more in the future :)

I asked Jackie to help me completely revamp my wardrobe – something I knew needed happening, but which I dreaded doing myself both because I’ve never really enjoyed shopping, and because I’ve never felt terribly confident in my choices.
To put it concisely: Jackie worked magic on my closet.
From the start I was very impressed with how open-​minded Jackie was about my style – she didn’t come in and throw trendy styles on me, but instead took the time to figure out what my lifestyle and personality are like, and what style might work best for me. I never felt judged, just like I had a new friend in my corner helping me get to the best results for me.
The whole process was surprisingly painless, Jackie put the work in up-​front to make my experiences in-​store much more enjoyable than they would have been otherwise and listened to my feedback about what felt comfortable and didn’t. The outfit photos she took at the end are pure gold, too – makes it so easy to get dressed every morning and feel confident walking out the door.
I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on my new look since working with Jackie, including from total strangers in coffee shops. It was well worth every cent, and I expect Jackie will be someone I rely on for image advice for a long time going forward.

Working with Jackie is a must for someone, like me, who’s wardrobe screams boring. Jackie really makes her work about getting to know you, and how you want to present yourself. She is incredibly thoughtful about her choices and always makes them with the client in mind. It’s not about what’s trendy with her, it’s always about what’s best on you and for you.
She also goes above and beyond to get you the perfect pieces. If you have an event to go to, she does whatever it takes to make sure it’s the ideal thing to wear. Even if it’s last minute. She’s been in the business for years, so she has connections that will always make shopping easy and enjoyable.
With Jackie you will never have issues finding something to wear. You will always have a closet full of flattering, versatile clothes. She takes away all the stress and frustration that is often associated with keeping appearance top notch. She not only makes you look your best, but feel your best. She has a gift!

If I could give Jackie 10 stars, I would!!! I am probably the most boring dresser on the planet. If it kinda fits, I’ll buy 2 in each color, then I’m done. I don’t like to fuss, I don’t like to shop for clothing, and I avoid mirrors and malls. But for my businesses, I meet a lot people and corporate executives, and image matters. After several clients commented on my «youth,» it dawned on me that I still looked like a grad student (although it’s been 10+ years since I graduated!) I realized that when it comes to style, all of us could use a little help (or the entire fashion industry wouldn’t exist and continue to thrive, yes?)
Enter, Jackie Coniln. Just like you see on TV, Jackie banished the drab items in my closet and helped me build a lovely, easy-​to-​manage wardrobe filled with classic pieces for every occasion. Friends and family noticed immediately, and in a fantastic side-​benefit I didn’t expect, people actually thought I’d lost weight! (Who doesn’t love that???) As a style professional, Jackie delivered above and beyond — I saved a ton of money as she helped me time my purchases to great sales running in targeted stores, and she saved me huge amounts of time, my most precious commodity, with advanced research and pre-​shopping. She absolutely nailed the right style for me, and I love her choices. This is the best investment I’ve made in a long time, with significant returns for years to come. I highly recommend Jackie to everyone!

I look good in my new clothes thanks to Jackie. My personal sense of style is non-​existent. I asked Jackie for help, and she got it right the very first time. She asked for my measurements, picked out clothing option at the store in advance, and when I arrived was ready to go. In less than an hour I had the best fitting clothes I’ve ever had and started receiving compliments on my appearance immediately.
Thanks Jackie! The gray cashmere jacket is my favorite :)

Cut some stress from your recession shopping. Jackie is amazing. In short time, she assesses needs, personal style and consistently works within my budget. Jackie is amazing — the perfect antidote for stress free shopping — on many levels. She’s GREAT at saving me money. No longer do I have «bad» purchases (things that don’t look right, don’t match anything else in my wardrobe, etc) and she saves me time. I don’t love shopping but Jackie makes it fun, efficient and makes me feel fabulous and stylish — without a trendy disposable look. She’s made my wardrobe really work — she’s helped sort, mix and match, she uses what I have and fills in pieces. On top of all that, she is a warm, intelligent, intuitive woman — it’s a treat just to spend time with her. Well worth the cost of t

Here’s the bottom line on Jackie:
If you use her services — as I have for the past 3 years –
***you will have great clothes that reflect your style
***your clothes will fit well
***you will have appropriate things to wear for each season
***you will have an appropriate outfit to wear for any event
***you will have the right accessories for every outfit
***your closet will be transformed from chaotic to orderly
***and best of all, you’ll save money on your fabulous wardrobe, because Jackie will get you in to stores during the presales.
Jackie really knows her stuff and she’s very pleasant to work with: she’s detail oriented, professional, warm and personable. Her service is well worth the cost. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jackie is a personal style consultant She is a true professional. Her eye for detail and her excellent taste makes shopping amazingly simple.
