Hire a Personal Shopper, the Benefits and Disadvantages

What could possibly be better than having someone pick out cute, fashionable outfits just for you? If you've been thinking about hiring an online personal stylist, read on to discover both the advantages and - yes, there are some - disadvantages of doing so. 

Advantage: You never have to leave the house to shop. Depending on the type of personal stylist you hire, your initial consultation can be via Facetime or Skype. From there, your shopper puts together outfits that are sent straight to your doorstep. If you decide to have a closet cleanout, where your stylist goes over your current wardrobe and advises you on what to keep, have altered or donate, you still don't leave your house as your stylist comes to you.
Disadvantage: You're not leaving the house to shop. While the convenience of this type of shopping can't be beat, there's something to be said for actually going out to a store and trying something on. You can easily work around this advantage by setting up a full wardrobe update where your personal shopper not only pulls together items in a pre-arranged fitting room for you to try but also walks the store with you, showing you how to pull your styles together.

Advantage: You will look and feel amazing. Whether you hire a personal shopper online or in person, if that shopper is competent, you will definitely enjoy the rush of wearing a brand new, stylish look. Many lives have changed for the better all thanks to a savvy style makeover.
Disadvantage: Your look may not be a reflection of who you really are. There are two types of personal stylists: those who can put together great outfits and those who put together outfits that are great for you. With the former, you will look fantastic but at best you will also look like an ad out of a fashion magazine and at worst, you'll look like everyone else - and that's not necessarily the best look for you. With the latter, you will shine with an inner confidence and beauty because the clothing and accessories pulled together for you reflect who you are rather than some look you're trying to copy.

Advantage: An online personal shopper can be extremely affordable. The level of personal shopping services you can get largely depends on your budget. Style boxes are extremely reasonable and can be purchased either on a one-time basis or as an ongoing subscription. This is a great way to put your toe in the water before deciding to pay more for more extensive services.
Disadvantage: A personal stylist can be extremely expensive. A full wardrobe makeover complete with someone to hold your hand and pull together outfits for you can easily run north of a couple grand. However, with a personal stylist this is certainly a case where you get what you pay for. Think of it this way: a professional's time is valuable. That person has expertise and offers a service, both of which are also valuable. It may seem like a splurge but if you're serious about changing your look and changing your life, the investment is well worth it.
