Fashion Stylist
Hi, I'm Lin
My Fashion Resumé
I started working for Terri when I was 18. That says a lot about what an incredible place this is — from the people I work with to the amazing customers who have become my close friends. In my job I am lucky enough to serve as a personal shopper, wardrobe consultant, published stylist and Garbarini’s marketing liaison.
What I love most about my job
I love design. And I love people. Perfect combination. I’m not really a label girl but have a huge appreciation for a beautifully designed piece of clothing or shoe — it’s all in the details: cut, fabric, flow, texture!
What I have learned about the biz
I try to really listen to my clients and work with their lifestyle. It’s all about the relationships I form with my clients and how I can help them feel great. They have to be comfortable in whatever they are wearing or they will never wear it.
What about the customer
I have learned from my clients that the speed of change is dependent upon the person. Sometimes “baby steps” are the only way a woman can move out of the old into a new, updated look. That’s okay — as long as she starts taking those steps! My favorite clients are those who appreciate my frank candor.
Personal motto
Treat others how you want to be treated.
Personal style credo
I don’t believe in one hit wonders. I want to be able to wear a piece more than one way and for more than one season.
Fashion Icons
Start with the basics. Buy quality, then only buy pieces you love that can be worked into your closet. Just because a piece is a deal, doesn’t mean you will wear it.
My favorite designer
Depends on the season.
Fashion advice
Start with pieces that work for your body type. Once you have the basics, branch out and find your fashion voice. Balance accessories.
