"Half of what people own just sits in the closet because they don’t know what to wear with it. As soon as I present a complete outfit, they feel like they bought something new," says Hannah Spencer, Westport mom, and fashion stylist.
But there's a twist. Before buying a single piece, she helps you pare down and 'shop' your own closet, showing you how to rock what you already own.
Big fan of the "half-tuck," the softly coiled scarf, the power sneaker and the perfect hat trick, she can turn a basic combination into a runway-ready look. Hannah also designs her own jewelry line, Nineteen Pieces (www.nineteenpieces.com). Her edgy yet refined costume jewels are high quality and designed to elevate every-day outfits.
Hannah and her husband chose Westport for "the schools, the location, and because coming from the New York City, we needed to live somewhere fashionable. People here like to look good when they go out!"
While Westporters are on-point with our overall fashion-sense, she'd like us all to put some thought into our casual wear. "You don’t just buy a pair of leggings. You buy a quality pair and a tee that truly flatters, and then your casual look is defined." As for price point, Hannah encourages clients to spend more on everyday essentials like a hand-bag, a jacket, and a pair of boots.
So once you've shopped your closet, what's on Hannah's retail shopping list for fall? "Fall fashion is all about the '70s and 'Flower Power.' We're seeing a lot of patchwork, flowers, crochet, and stream-lined bell bottoms." Also on-trend, "Western and fringe. A fringe suede jacket just goes so well with denim!"
Hannah's Fall Fashion Tip
"Layer and accessorize with duster coats, scarves, hats, or a by wearing a cropped sweater over a long tank. Your look goes from simple to sophisticated and you are ready for changing weather."
