Fabulous F.A.Q.'s
Here's what I get asked the most about Chic, Fab & Authentically You. If you have a question that isn't listed here, feel free to ask me anything!
What is Image Consulting?
Image Consulting is necessary to helping you present yourself in the best possible way. My goal is to bring out your confidence and empowerment, so that you look your best. When you look and feel your best, you are better able to make a positive, authentic and memorable impact on the people and situations you come in contact with. If you want to create success in your personal and professional life—appearance matters!
What do you specialize in?
I specialize in addressing the need of every woman to feel and look her most radiant and brilliant self from the inside out. How do I do this? By assessing the perfect colors for her skin-tone, looking at her body type and determining the silhouette of clothing that will accentuate her assets and camouflage any flaws. Style personality and her inner essence are also given an opportunity to shine with wardrobe choices, such as fabric, fit and fashion.
What are the rates of your services?
My rates depend on which services you require. If you'd like pricing details, please use the contact form and let me know you're looking for pricing. All of my services are customized to the client, so we can build a package according to exactly what you're looking for.
Will I have to change my style?
Absolutely not! I’ve worked with clients who have wanted total transformations, as well as clients who specifically want the assistance and direction to curate a wardrobe that consistently helps them look their best. What I do is give you guidance on creating a style that is authentic, comfortable, fabulous and serves your lifestyle and life goals. YOU are the only person that can decide to change your style if you want to. Instead of a drastic change, I advise to begin simply by incorporating new and different colors, patterns, textures, styles or accessories. Remember, fashion is supposed to be fun- so don't worry, you are in safe hands should you want to explore a new look, we will work together to find the best fit for you.
Can I become a client even if I don't live near you?
Thanks to the magic of Zoom, we can work together virtually if it's not possible to meet in person, or if you're not local to me. Consultations and communications can be done virtually or via email and phone, whichever your preference is. Through carefully curated questionnaires and photographs, I am able to give you valuable feedback and counsel so that you feel fully empowered to accomplish your goals.
From My Fashionistas...
I always found myself struggling to find the perfect casual outfit unless I bought it off the mannequin.
I just couldn't make it work.
I was always in leggings and a sweatshirt or dressed for the city.
I decided to use Chic Fab and Authentically You, and Laura was amazing!
She taught me how to piece together items that I already had in my closet to create the perfect casual look for around town
or for lunch with my friends.
Now, I'm ready in a snap and I feel great.
As a conservative dresser who hides behind neutral basic pieces I
was unsure about how much a consultation could do for me.
Laura Tappan of Chic Fab And Authentically You made the process easy and sensible, working with what I already had in my closet and suggesting versatile pieces that still reflected my taste, but added a much needed pop.
Her easy manner and wealth of knowledge translated the fashion world from a language I didn't speak, to one I became well versed in. I'd recommend her services wholeheartedly.
I worked with Laura to clean out my wardrobe over the past few months.
I had accumulated a lot of clothes over the years and was having trouble cleaning it out on my own.
She is very easy to work with. She made me comfortable right away and listened to me .
I was very happy with her knowledge of style and fashion.
It was a pleasure to work with Laura. She put together an amazing ensemble for me for an upcoming event.
I was so surprised by how much goes into this process. From body analysis to color assessment, she was able to select the perfect color and style for my evening wear.
Thank you for listening to me and my style ideas as well as adhering to my budget. The whole experience exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with Laura again in the very near future.
I recently had a color analysis done by Laura and I am blown away! I had no idea how much brighter and more vibrant I could look and feel by wearing the colors that are right for me. The entire process was so enjoyable.
Laura is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. She makes you feel completely comfortable and was so reassuring that I could change up my look while repurposing the items I already own - so I didn't feel overwhelmed or discouraged.
Now when I look at myself in the colors that Laura determined matched my coloring, skin tone and yes even personality, I feel more put together and better overall. After the last two years of living in a pandemic this was something I needed for my mind, body and soul!
Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Laura. I promise you; you will be so happy you did!
