"Milena was great fun to work with! She feels like your best friend who's doing right by you and your body type. I contacted Milena because I needed several dating outfits. When we first met, I was quite impressed with how positive, relaxed, professional and encouraging Milena was. She thought about everything from head to toe. She took into consideration things I already had. I showed her a sampling of my jewelry during our first meeting and when we shopped, she would suggest which of my jewelry pieces would complement a particular outfit. She did not make me feel bad about my body type, shape or height. I'm quite short and a bit round. She worked with me and my body type to emphasize my strengths. She introduced me to stores that I had never heard of, but now love.
She opened my mind to fun colors and styles that I would not have picked out by myself, but when I tried them on, I was pleasantly surprised at how things that I would have passed right on by on the rack, were actually things that looked really good on me!One of the many things I love about Milena is that she doesn't push you to buy the high-priced designer brands, but rather goes with the multi-purpose, quality pieces of clothing that you can integrate in so many different outfits! To sum up my day with Milena, I walked away with what became my favorite pieces in my closet!
They say that a personal image consultant is an investment. But Milena is worth every penny! The knowledge that I got from her was invaluable and I have already saved ten times her cost in not buying the wrong things! Not to mention the countless compliments that I got from my date and my friends!"

"I have a huge amount of thanks to pay to Milena for making me feel good both inside and out! I was going through a career change when I met Milena. The last time that I had shopped for my job was about 9 years ago and I didn't realize how "out of date" my clothing AND appearance looked!
Milena was so great and really took her time to understand what style of clothing that I liked and was comfortable in. I now have a gorgeous wardrobe and more importantly, have the confidence to look professional and beautiful in what I'm wearing. No kidding, my husband even said that he'd better "pick up his game", since I look so much nicer than he does these days! (I gave him Milena's number!)"

"I loathed almost everything I had in my closet and I knew I was not meeting my full appearance potential with the clothing I was wearing. The thought of going to the mall or shopping was almost paralyzing. If I did shop, I would just pick out something if it looked "OK" or was what I thought was a "bargain". My closet developed into a mis-matched "money pit" - all clothes that were too big, the wrong color or an unflattering cut!I knew it was time to seek professional help. My whole experience with Milena was miraculous! She has an amazing ability and knack to help me discover my true wardrobe potential. I wish I would have met her 10 years ago - oh to think of the money I could have saved in buying clothes that actually fit and were the right color and size for my body! I am on the road to style now - one outfit at a time - thanks to Milena! I feel like a whole new person and will continue to use her to build my wardrobe!"

"I wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed the Wardrobe Edit! I consigned/sold a bunch of the clothes that would have sat i my closet until 2012 if not for you! I also learned a lot about what looks good on me and the essentials that I must have! Thanks again!"
Erica O., Denver, CO
"I don't know if my wife has replied yet, but she has told me over and over that this was the best gift ever...and I have given her some really nice gifts! She looks even more beautiful than before. She is wearing the clothes (with patterns and colors) and getting compliments wherever she goes. She is now "addicted" to your advice...in a good way. :) Thank you very much for making this a very special present for her."
Kevin A.Fort Collins, CO
"I've been thinking about you and how you've changed my life! I LOVE the new clothes. I wore the black ruffle vest on Wednesday and got a handful of compliments. And the bag...I can't believe this is my first real bag. It's working out great and I've received compliments on that piece. I feel put together. I feel armed with so much knowledge and more confidence. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I do feel like my life and self image has changed. I've watched a million episodes of "What Not to Wear", but it's useless to think the average person can evaluate and change themselves without the help of a neutral professional. I didn't believe you when you said I could have a closet full of clothes I love, but I am beginning to understand that it's possible. Many Thanks!"

"I had SO much fun and ended up with a wardrobe that looks good on me. I must admit I was concerned about the rapport I would have with Milena because I’m a stay-at-home mom from the mountains and standard wear in my neighborhood is blue jeans, t-shirt, and tennis shoes. Milena is for EVERYONE! Although she stretched my clothing vision, it was never far off from what I was comfortable with. (Milena you were right. Metallic sandals do work in Conifer!)
One last tidbit…..when Milena goes through your closet and sets aside pieces that are “okay to keep, but are not ideal”, go ahead and throw them out because once you start wearing the clothes Milena selects for you, you’ll see how your old clothes are just not right. I am now looking at my winter wardrobe with anguish (Milena revamped my spring/summer). None of the colors are right and now that I know it, I can no longer bear to put those clothes on. There is just such a difference once you know what looks good on you. Milena can get you there!"
Donna P., Conifer, CO
"My experience working with you was extremely helpful as I am not one to try and create an image or spend much time coordinating colors, patters, wardrobes, etc. After working with you and getting your input not only has my "wardrobe" life become easier since I now don't have to figure out what to wear and what looks good, I have also gotten several comments from friends and colleagues on how good I look and how well I dress. Thanks again for your help and keep up the good work!"

"My husband knows how much I love watching makeovers on television and how I always thought it would be fun to do. So a package with Milena was the perfect Christmas present! I wasn't looking for a major change; rather I simply wanted to put more effort into my style. As a working Mom that is tough, but Milena taught me to be a better shopper -- to choose colors that bring out the best in my complexion and to select clothing that actually fits and complements my body. She made me more efficient and stylish at the same time!"
Kate B., Parker, CO
"My husband actually was the one who suggested your services. He could see that I was always frustrated, because I'd buy clothes, love them the first time I'd wear them, and then after that there would always be something I didn't like about them. You helped me to see that a lot of the clothes in my closet actually do work ,and what other pieces in my closet they could work with. But, you also helped me to see how I could do better with the shopping piece of it. You picked out things for me that I would never have even pulled off the rack to look at. This experience will help me save money, because I'll have a better idea of what to buy in the future, and things won't just hang in my closet. I wore the long black skirt and flowered blouse and got numerous compliments in one wearing. The clothes are all so comfortable and fit me just right. And, I love the colors! Thank you so much for your help!

"I really enjoyed working with Milena. She has a great sense of style. Working with Milena was not only a fun experience but one in which I realized what a huge time savings it was to have Milena shop for me and have all these great outfits ready for me to try on. Being a working mom, I don't have much time to shop for myself or even know what to look for when trying on clothes. Milena really helped me figure out what I needed to add to my wardrobe as well as show me how to assess whether or not an article of clothing fits well. I am very excited that I now have some great casual and dressy outfits to wear out.
Overall it was a fun, eye opening experience. Milena really helped me to evaluate what looks best on me and expand my mind to new looks and styles. Plus I loved that it saved me a huge amount of time in that I didn't have to try to find all those clothes myself."
Joanna S., Denver, CO
"I just wanted to thank you for teaching me how to dress and accessorize to best fit the structure of my body. The investment I made, both time and money is the best investment I have made in fifteen years...you came to my home and helped both assemble outfits from my current wardrobe and helped me see which of my current pieces were not flattering. It was like getting a whole new wardrobe from my closet because I now know how to use pieces together to best dress my body...The shopping, WOW!
The most frustrating part of shopping is trying on things that don't look good. With your pre-shopping talent, the time I spent was trying on clothes that all looked good and it allowed me to fill in the missing pieces expanding my outfit choices. You were so right on with exactly what clothes look good...Best of all, my friends all think I have lost weight and they all comment on how wonderful I look! And all from your expert advice!
I hope you are able to share your insight with millions, It will make the world a prettier place!"
Laura B., Lakewood, CO
"First of all, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the experience. After working with Milena, I now have a much better understanding of how my clothes should fit and what styles look best on me. When I put on the clothes she selected for me I immediately noticed a difference...not only in my appearance, but in my confidence.
Before this experience, shopping was always something I dreaded. But thanks to Milena's guidance and expertise, I'm already looking forward to my next shopping trip. In fact, I can't wait to overhaul my entire wardrobe!"
Adam R., Denver, CO
"I have a very busy schedule and I'm always on the go with little time to shop especially for that perfect dress or outfit. Milena had an opportunity to sit down with me for a few minutes and assessed what colors and fit would be best for me. I shared with her my needs and upcoming event and planned a day to meet. Much to my surprise I met her at the mall with already set aside dresses & outfits for me to try on and in a matter of minutes I had the perfect outfit and dress to wear. I would recommend Milena's consulting and personal shopping service to anyone who needs a little extra help or needs someone to make the shopping experience easier and efficient. Thanks Milena for an awesome experience and I look forward to shopping with you a lot more in the future!"
