Where theres a Will..Theres a Way.

If your from a small town like me, sometimes having a dream thats larger than life can seem unrealistic and completely out of reach. However, from a young age I decided that that just wasn't an option. I knew that there was a reason I was captivated by the things that sparkle; like the rush I got from the twinkeling of lights of Manhatten, the glamour of Hollywood, and last but not least...the fashion that ruled both coasts..both so different, yet so unique and beautiful.

I knew that I would never be able to work a normal 9-5 job.

One late friday night after working a 12 hour shift at a job I liked, but never had a future in, I said to myself.."Sarah, you gotta get your s*** together." I knew what I wanted to do, but didn't know how to get there..thats when I googled WARDROBE STYLING. I believe it was the second link, and it was the first big step I took to pursuing my dreams. Always being Daddys little girl and although I was 18 at the time, I still felt like I had to ask my parents permission to do something; however I didn't this time. I booked a 3 night stay and roundtrip ticket to Hollywood, and I was gone three weeks later.

Let me introduce to..SCHOOL OF STYLE.
As I walked into the famous SmashBox Studios of West Hollywood, (seen The Hills, Keeping up with the Kardashians & The Girls Next Door), I felt starstruck. I walked in to a wall of every cover they have shot there..Cosmopolitan, GQ, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and many many more..I was in heaven.

I was so nervous to meet the others who were taking this course to further their careers in wardrobe styling, however, little did I know I had nothing to worry about. We all began conversing, talking about where we were from and what kind of experience we've had.
When the teacher of the course walked in, I had no idea what to expect.
Luke Storey, wardrobe stylist to the stars, walked in like NBD. He wasn't just
super nice and wicked down to earth, but so was his assistant, Lauren Messiah.
They offered us drinks and a ton of snacks to keep us alert during the long day.
Never a huge fan of sitting in a classroom, I couldn't have been more on the edge
of my seat taking in everything I was learning. Everthing from personal experiences that hid
MAJOR lessons to remember, advice and the process of becoming a wardrobe stylist will
stick with me forever. I don't think I have ever learned more in 8 hours than I did in my class one at SOS. We were given a little handbook that seems like the bible to all wardrobe stylists..
It answers all of the what, where, when and why's, and I am constantly referring to it.

School of Style defintly made me realize that my dreams were anything but out of reach.

If you think that wardrobe styling, being a personal stylist or being a personal shopper is what you'd like to do for a career, then I would HIGHLY recommend School of Style. Not only does it educate you, but it motivates you to just go after what you want to do! If you pursue your career, you make back triple the amount of money you spend on the class in no time! I have never made a better investment.

I could never thank Luke & Lauren enough, and I suggest School of Style to anyone considering
a career in wardrobe styling. Not only to they teach the courses in Los Angeles, but check their website for when come to NYC to teach! Visit http://www.theschoolofstyle.com/ to pursue your career in fashion styling!

Goodluck!
