Almost two years post-baby Cate helped me start to have fun getting dressed again! Though I’ve always enjoyed shopping and styling myself, I hadn’t been feeling comfortable in my new body and had started dreading packing for work trips or prepping for events. After 100s of unsuccessful online orders, I found Cate. She quickly understood what I needed and helped me refresh my wardrobe with pieces I started to wear right away. Shopping with Cate was fun and efficient and 1.5 months later I’ve attended a black tie wedding without worrying, easily packed for a work trip, and have gotten multiple compliments on my new pieces - more importantly I’m feeling more confident getting dressed and more at ease in my own body.

It's not about how much you own or which designer you wear, but how what you own fits you and what to look for when purchasing something new. This I learned from working with Cate. Unfortunately, in the past I've been seduced by either the celebrity endorsed article of clothing or the high priced accessory when making fashion decisions. As a result, my clothing either never fit right or my "fashionista wears" never looked good despite the promise made by the ads.
After Cate and I chatted and looked over the magazine pictures of various looks I liked or would feel comfortable wearing, we attacked my closet. And three hours later, I had a much clearer understanding of what fit my body best, what from my own closet with some tailoring would achieve the look I felt most comfortable in, and a list of a few article of clothing or accessories I needed to purchase to round out my wardrobe.
What I really appreciated about my session with Cate is that she took the time to understand who I was. Cate takes into consideration what your interests are and what your life-style is when giving fashion advice. It wasn't about trying to make the latest trends work or buying a entire new wardrobe but rather my work with Cate focused on finding and understanding a style that fit my needs and life. At the end of our session, I cleared my closet of old, unworn clothing and gained a better sense what looks good on my body. As a result, I have greater confidence when shopping and making decisions about fashion.

The experience of "shopping my closet" with Cate was a game changer! She helped me appreciate items I already own and put them together in new and unexpected ways which gave me so much confidence in my outfits for work and weekends. By taking time to understand me as a person and how I want to show up in the world, Cate put together outfits that capture my vibe so I can show up confident and comfortable every day. The whole experience was fun, productive and worthwhile. Highly recommend!

I've been lucky to have Cate as my wardrobe advisor for several years. She is a genuine visionary who connects deeply with clients. Shopping with her is an empowering and fun experience and a creative experiment. She pushes me to try different styles and colors, increasing my knowledge of fashion and comfort in my own skin. In teaching me about the best styles for my body type while also encouraging body acceptance, she has boosted my confidence and contributed greatly to my quality of life.

Cate has rare talent that most of us wish we had; the ability to create confidence, style and grace through fashion. She has an eye like no other and can pick that one unique item that will pull an entire look together. She works tirelessly for her clients and won’t stop until she achieves that perfectly proportioned outfit. Without her I’d still be wearing one piece, monotone suits that my grandmother would have worn. I consider Cate my fairy godmother of fashion and would recommend her without reservation. If you are looking to take your style to the next level or if you don’t know where to start, call Cate, you will not be disappointed.

Cate Sheehy is the best style investment I ever made. Because of Cate, I now have the perfect wardrobe for both work and play. We spent a Friday night shopping for clothes and shoes. By the time the evening was over we had enough clothes for around 60-65 outfit combinations!!!!! The total shopping exceeded what I needed BUT stayed within my pre-set budget. Cate uses a little online portal where she posts photos of all the clothes combinations and to which you can add your own. Very handy. Cate is flexible and accommodating with her time; she listens; she helps me stay focused and knows just how to guide my choices. I can’t recommend her highly enough and will continue to engage her at the start of each season.

Cate has worked with me as a personal stylist numerous times. First, a couple years ago before a press event in Europe that I was more than a little anxious about. With her help, I picked up a few key pieces, and also pulled from my own closet for the trip. In the end, I felt incredibly confidant and put together. Then recently, Cate went shopping with me after the birth of my son. Trying to dress my new, post-baby body had been a challenge for me, but after a couple hours with Cate, I had what seemed like a new wardrobe (although I somehow kept within my budget), and a renewed sense of self confidence. Every time I have worked with Cate she makes me feel confidant, beautiful and stylish. Her choice of clothing styles, cuts, and fabrics are spot on as well. I should also mention she assisted me in selecting my wedding gown, and altering it significantly to fit my taste. Needless to say it was perfect. Cate is wonderful! She is such a pro at what she does and has been a treasure to find and work with.

I loved my experience working with Cate! We have now done two shopping trips together and it was definitely worth the investment. She is incredibly knowledgeable about clothing, trends, styles, fit and brands. What amazed me was how much she was able to teach me about these things in just a few hours of shopping together. After my time spent with her, I have started to enjoy looking for clothes and I now feel like I can shop more efficiently. What I also love about Cate is that she respects my personal style and what I feel comfortable wearing. Additionally, she always goes above and beyond searching for items that I am looking for (which was quite a few to rebuild my wardrobe after having kids). She was able to find the perfect handbag, petite jeans, beautiful dresses and sunglasses that were just right – all within my budget and specifications. These were all things I spent months looking for but could not find on my own. Although I was hesitant at first, I now completely see the value in working with a fashion stylist. Not only did I find items I am really excited about wearing, I learned a great deal and I did not waste money on things that weren’t right. You will love working with Cate, too.
