"My passion for clothes and style led me into the fashion world. My passion for helping others and empowering women led me to Image Consulting. I have always enjoyed helping friends and family find the perfect outfit for an occasion. When a woman is wearing clothes that make her feel beautiful or a man is feeling polished and confident, you can spot him or her from a mile away. I want all of my clients to feel that way - all of the time! Helping my clients to showcase their unique brand through their wardrobe is invigorating to me. I truly enjoy assisting with a Closet Clearing and enabling my clients to remove what is cluttering their lives and holding back who they really are.The clothes you wear tell your story to each person that you meet. I look forward to helping you tell the best story possible!"Alicia Trotta
