LAURA-BEFORE

52, Accounts Payable Supervisor

A single mother of two for twenty years and unable to purchase quality clothes, Laura's wardrobe consisted of sweat quotes, sneakers and a few outdated pieces.

NEW LOOK-ONE

Laura loves the color red. The red rushed-neck sleeveless top was purchased and paired with a tan ruffled hem skirt. A snake print waist belt, silver jewelry and a green stone and silver tone metal necklace pulls the look together. A pair of Mary Jane pumps completes the outfit!

NEW LOOK-TWO

A dark-washed boot-cut denim jean is paired with a floral tee and stretch cotton khaki jacket. A turquoise beaded bracelet compliments the colors in the tee, while the leather belt with a metal buckle and ballet flats create the perfect casual look!

TESTIMONIAL

"Tara has been a blessing to me… She took the time to find out my needs, desires, and budget during the initial consultation. She did a wardrobe analysis and showed me how to create several new outfits by using the clothes and accessories I already had. We then went shipping and she showed me how to stay within budget to purchase fashion, yet quality clothing. Tara was very professional and made the process fun. I have a new outlook on my future and I plan to Master it with Style! Thanks Tara!!"

ANDREW-BEFORE

27, INSURANCE SALES AGENT

"Change is good"! Andrew recently transitioned into a new career. Although he was accustomed to wearing a uniform for work, it was time for him to step out into a dapper, yet professional look!

NEW LOOK-ONE

Andrew is wearing a knit orange zip-up sweater. A slim wool gray tie instantly adds texture, and the white shirt and relaxed-fit denim jeans creates a cool style. Accessories were used to pull the look together- a leather wrap bracelet and braided leather bracelet compliments the brown watch and leather belt nicely; while brown leather boots finish this casual look!

NEW LOOK-TWO

This classic blue suit flatters Andrew's tall frame. A blue and white plaid dress shirt is matched with a multi-colored square tie. A black leather belt with a silver buckle, watch, and leather shoes complete this sharp and refined outfit!

TESTIMONIAL

"The experience with Tara was awesome! She opened my eyes to the wide range of possibilities within my own closet. The outfits she put together were those I would've never thought about putting together. The time we spent together I've learned to dress by mixing and matching, while accessorizing to compliment the style. I look forward to going shopping with Tara soon!"

COURTNEY-BEFORE

28, WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER / PHOTO STYLIST

Courtney describes her style as "classic with a bit of an edge." She loves to wear flats and skinny jeans but despises anything that's "too girly".

NEW LOOK-ONE

Courtney is wearing a bold patterned blouse and a cream embroidered lace pencil skirt, which accentuates her curves. Gold and burnt orange flower clustered earrings and multi-colored bangles matches the blouse perfectly. A pair of nude patent leather open toe pumps add the final touch to this feminine, classic look!

NEW LOOK-TWO

The swingy, bright blue skirt allows Courtney to express her fun side while maintaining her personal sense of style. Paired with a coral shirt, a chain link belt, gold accessories, and a mustard/gold sandals- complete a great color blocking outfit!

TESTIMONIAL

"Tara was extremely professional through out the entire process. Even though I was slightly apprehensive of her looking through my personal wardrobe for fear I did not own enough quality items, Tara quickly put my worries and fears to rest. To my surprise she was able to create several complete outfits by combining different articles of my clothing along side my shoes and accessories. I felt completely comfortable the entire time and learned so much about myself and my personal style. Tara taught me how to pin point key items in my wardrobe and successfully mix and match them to create several different looks that I would not have otherwise put together on my own. I had a wonderful experience working with Tara and absolutely work with her again!"

Meet Tara

Tara shares her passion and flair for fashion as a Personal Wardrobe Stylist at Style Mastery by T. Alexander.

Her “passion for fashion” began at the tender age of six years old. She recalls begging her mother to purchase a blue corduroy overall dress with a mail letter appliqué on the front of it. She loved the dress so much that she wore it on the first day of school, on picture day, and as often as possible. The dress just had that “it” factor- there was something about it that made her feel not only special but unique.

Tara would like to think that experience was the beginning of her love for fashion and discovering her personal style; and she wants to help each client define their individual flair and style!

Incorporating her love of current fashion trends, knowledge of design, and her own sense of style; she consults with clients who appreciate how important their personal brand is to their success in life. She takes the time to assess each client’s needs and style goals, then develops individualized plans based on their lifestyle and aspirations.

By analyzing body type, personality and lifestyle, and performing a wardrobe inventory, Tara transforms your style by recommending clothes and accessories that empowers you to create your own sense of personal style and expression.

Some of Tara’s domestic and international clients include Otis Winston, Actor / Writer / Director featured in the movie, Oz, The Great and Powerful; Hyun-Hwa Choi, Educational Director, and A. E. Anselm, former College Professor.

She currently donates her time as a Personal Stylist for Dress for Success of Columbus where she assists women in selecting professional attire and creates a curated wardrobe as they prepare to enter the workforce.

Tara graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications. She combines her fashion experience at high-end stores including Coco Chanel Boutique, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hugo Boss, Nordstrom and Macy’s with retail savvy at L Brands, Abercrombie & Fitch, DSW Inc., Winston Retail Solutions, Gap Inc. Direct, Piperlime.com, Maybelline New York and TJ Maxx.

She has served on the Board of Directors for Young E.L.I.T.E. Columbus, a non-profit organization with the mission of mentoring young ladies of Central Ohio to evolve into women of integrity, style and purpose. She was the head stylist for their annual fashion shows.
