I Booked Free Personal-styling Appointments At Nordstrom And Saks. I Can't Believe How Much I Learned — And How Much Fun T

I tried free in-store personal-styling appointments at Nordstrom and Saks. Lara WalshI booked free personal-styling appointments at Nordstrom and Saks to refresh my work wardrobe. My appointment at Saks was more glamorous and included a tray of cakes, fruit, and nuts.The appointments are great for those who want a wardrobe refresh but aren't sure where to start.It can be difficult to find work-appropriate clothes that are professional but not stuffy and can seamlessly transition from a Zoom meeting to a happy hour — all while looking good, of course.I tend to shop minimally and pick investment pieces that I love (and end up wearing for years), but it's gotten harder to put together office-ready looks that don't feel repetitive.Similarly, as more and more companies mandate a return-to-office policy, workers are looking for ways to update their workwear wardrobes.I was long overdue for a work wardrobe refresh, so when I learned that both Nordstrom and Saks offer free one-on-one styling appointments at certain store locations, I jumped at the chance to try them.I booked appointments using each store's online portal and was excited to see if the stylists could help me revamp my work-to-happy-hour look.
