Well, you’ve come to the right place because today, we’re going to meet someone who turns clothes into magic spells! 😊
Say hello to Jessica Armstrong, a superstar in fashion styling! She’s like a fashion fairy who can turn anyone into a style superhero, even if they’re rocking pajamas! 😄
She doesn’t just work with regular folks; oh no! Our fashion stylist of today styles models who strut their stuff on fancy runways, and celebrities who are known by everyone, even your grandma’s pet parrot! 🐦😁
Now wait a minute! I might not be famous, like a movie star or someone your grandma’s parrot talks about, but I love to sing! Well, at least I like to think I’m pretty good at it. Maybe it’s best not to burst my bubble! 😄
You never know what manufacturers use to make these bubbles. Come on, you really don't want all that stuff to suddenly pop up on your screen like a surprise party you weren't ready for! 😄🎉
Hold on, there’s more to know about Jessica! She is not just a fashion wizard for the rich and famous. She’s also a personal shopper, which means she helps normal people like you and me look like a million bucks without spending a million bucks! 😎
She’s like a magical style expert who can organize your clothes, pick the right outfits no matter the weather, and make you shine at parties and even in your wildest dreams! 😜
So, let's hurry on to that fashion stylist interview, and like me, put on your fanciest slippers. 😉
Yes, you read that right. One day I got all dressed up for work, and guess what? I put on my fanciest, sparkly slippers instead of my shiny work shoes! 😴
I luckily noticed after a short walk, but what a goofball move, right? So, remember to wear your fancy slippers only when you're not going to work! 😂
Time to get ready for a journey through closets, runways, and red carpets! 😍

What is your name, function and the company you work for?
Jessica Armstrong, Fashion Stylist & owner of the online store Closet Intuition
How old are you?
42
What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be?
I am a Fashion Stylist and I work with commercial clients & personal clients. This means that I style models, various talent & celebrities for anything ranging from advertising campaigns, press events to red-carpet premieres. I also work with personal clients, cleansing their wardrobes, shopping & styling them for the various seasons, events and traveling.
In addition, I recently launched my online store Closet Intuition. The online store is every consumer's one-stop-shop for all their styling needs! We know the importance of great basics & unique key seasonal pieces to keep their look fresh. Closet Intuition is a curated shop that offers hand selected key pieces for each season, must-have basics and all the styling tools necessary to maintain a flawless look!
What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?
I have had a passion for styling people since a young age! I was always dressing up my friends and staging photo shoots as a teenager. I began my professional career as a Fashion Designer.
My designs were carried by retailers such as Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 and Nordstrom. After working in the design field, I decided to get back to my roots, styling people! It brings me so much joy and I love the positive impact it has on people!
Is fashion important to you? Why?
Fashion has always been important to me because it is a form of creativity and self expression.
What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?
My greatest success is that I have made a career out of doing something that I love! I have achieved this through many years of dedication to my craft, hard work and perseverance- in addition to my unique creative perspective.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?
This industry is always evolving so it is hard to predict what the future will look like. I do know that I always wanted to be involved in fashion and working with people in some capacity.
Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?
That is a tricky question- yes and no. It is important in the sense when it stands for quality, and innovative design or dependable classics. However, I do not practice purchasing wardrobe or accessories just for a name.
There is a lot of great fashion that is overlooked.
Also, there are times when a more affordable option serves the same purpose as an expensive designer counterpart.
Describe your personal style of fashion?
Eclectic. I like to have fun with fashion so I do not subscribe to one look! I love classic pieces and also experimenting with trends!
How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?
My personal style wasn’t something I had to find, it is as simple as being true to who I am. I absolutely believe it is important to dress appropriately for the occasion and I take my body-type into account but otherwise what I will come up with is always a surprise!
In what way do you influence other people’s fashion style?
People hire me for my expertise so I influence them by giving my advice. I always discuss weighing the importance of lifestyle, body-type, budget and personal preference of a classic look versus a trendy look.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?
A few of my favorite trends this season are: cut-out silhouettes, head-to-toe red looks, corsets and oversized blazers.
What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?
Personally I am not a huge fan of the return of the ultra-low rise pant- it’s very hard to pull off!! It is only flattering on a small percent of the population.
What kind of fashion advice would you give us?
Never say, “I love that but I can’t wear that.” Fashion is about having fun and not being afraid to express your personality!!
Who is your style icon, and why?
I have a few but I’ll start with Kate Moss & Rihanna. They both are always pushing the edge of fashion limits while still managing to be appropriate and relatable. They reinvent themselves constantly and are also clearly themselves.
Is there something else you would like to share with us?
Always have fun with fashion and your personal style!
Please visit my store Closet Intuition, www.ClosetIntuition.com & IG @ClosetIntuition, for the latest in fashion! I am constantly featuring new brands and I offer wardrobe, accessories & shoes for both men & women in a wide variety of price points. Happy Shopping!
