No more, thanks to Marisa! After detailed questions about my needs, style, budget, favorite brands, etc., she suggested which store would be a good start and we got to work! She moved quickly from aisle to aisle, picking some items, putting some back and then sent me to the dressing room with a first batch to try on, including items I would have never known could be suitable for me. Marisa's expert eye knew exactly what alterations to recommend to make an ‘ok’ fit into a perfect fit. The whole experience made me much more confident with what I can wear. It also encouraged me to do some major closet editing on my own, getting rid of clothes that I never wear, as well as acquiring a few more things based on advice from Marisa. I now have a much more workable closet, styles for all seasons and occasions (including shoes), and most importantly, I love every single piece that I own!” https://www.stilistaboston.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576493189281-R4MSWVKL9WTXUEPVTJZZ/iStock-469769544.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492571042-62G4BQLRSX0PMFYU36WU/iStock-1136160691.jpg Testimonials - -emily w. “Marisa was amazing!

It is one of the best gifts I have ever received! I have worked with Marisa twice now. She is amazing: kind, professional and a pleasure to work with. She listened very attentively to my needs, likes, dislikes, lifestyle and budget. I was able to streamline my closet, update and purchase clothing that truly fits my age, body size and style. I would have never done this without her assistance. I am hooked, and plan to call Marisa next month to help me dress myself for a number of upcoming weddings!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1577470484362-SAU8UU7IWQX7UQIYBQBM/MarisaMeloski_136_web.jpg The Gift of Style - -elise m. “At the beginning of the new year, and as a 32-year-old young professional, I decided I wanted to feel fiercely confident in the clothes I was choosing to put on my body for both work and play. I felt that I had decent wardrobe options, but wanted a fresh set of eyes to evaluate my closet, analyze the style and fit of my current wardrobe, and help me put together looks I would never have come up with on my own. Marisa did just that. She helped me assess my fall/winter wardrobe for style and fit, and determine what to do with different articles of clothing: keep, keep but tailor, and “retire” as she so graciously worded getting rid of clothes that didn’t work for me… After our wardrobe analysis and outfit creation Marisa emailed me a detailed list of “holes” in my closet, pieces that she would recommend for me, and even specific stores and style names she thought would work best for my body and lifestyle. Based on her suggestions we mapped out a plan for our 3 hour shopping trip, which focused on a mix of wear to work and casual options. I cannot overemphasize how much I learned during this trip about how and where to shop, and the details to pay attention to in terms of the way clothing should fit and flatter my body. I especially appreciated the time and support Marisa provided as we took a deep dive into the designer denim as Saks. I’m obsessed with all of my new jeans!.. I left the shopping trip feeling so confident in my purchases and excited to wear my new clothes and create new looks with my existing closet and new purchases. I’m looking forward to working with Marisa again for a spring/summer wardrobe analysis & shopping trip!” https://www.stilistaboston.com/services daily 0.75 2026-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576493054919-EKRTB3QQJ1YA8BQP4YM3/iStock-176784299.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492900925-MQTDPPP7W5AE93DA298Q/iStock-861739858.jpg Services - -m.t. “Marisa…was professional, approachable, receptive, and perceptive.

Cue Marisa! I have a TON of clothes and often I don’t know where to start in picking an outfit, styling patterns, or just choosing something I don’t wear as frequently. I reached out to Stilista explaining my needs and they recommended a session of outfit creations with my existing wardrobe. Let me just say what a fun time I had going through the clothes that I stare at every single day and finding new fun ways to layer, pattern combinations, different color pairings, etc. Marisa completely changed my mindset on what goes with what and really helped me transform my closet. As a part of the outfit creation session Marisa got to know what I was looking for, my everyday style, others style that I admire, and then she jumped into my closet and spent 3 hours making outfits (pssst...we were only focused on winter outfits). As part of this service Marisa kept track of what my wardrobe was lacking and gave me a list of basics I was missing that would really make my wardrobe that much more versatile. I can’t say enough good things! It feels like I have a whole new, fresh wardrobe without spending a small fortune to try a trend or update my seasonal items. I will consider having another outfit creation session for other seasons and maybe even some shopping help. If you’re on the fence about hiring a stylist just do it!” https://www.stilistaboston.com/perks daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576493159288-Z3NK2ZDN19P1DMITTCMS/iStock-476602976.jpg Perks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492609352-4UM11O47Y6O2T0NKRBQ2/iStock-861884986.jpg Perks - -Martha “Marisa…is great to work with… She has transformed my thinking about clothes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/20ce2590-ca48-46ae-94ee-eb07448caba8/Jcrew.png Perks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/37bc07d7-3a29-4671-b5fc-ec4a2df08e57/Madewell.png Perks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/23adae74-40d9-43cc-97f5-7d2b00ea1477/jennik.png Perks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/d43db6fc-ebe7-44d2-8817-edc67c5f3fe2/vincw.png Perks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1577469435233-DQ7LBMC0WL2Y9325I774/MarisaMeloski_213_web.jpg Perks - -dervla i. “Marisa is a fashion whisperer and an excellent teacher! I had always wanted a more put-together look, but never seemed to be able to achieve it on my own. My fiancé, noting my wardrobe disappointment and reluctance to even go shopping, got me Stilista’s Deluxe Turn It Around package for Christmas last year. It was truly one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten! First, the wardrobe analysis was eye opening. As Marisa went through my closet, she explained things like why some pieces were dated, why certain necklines worked better than others, and how to better utilize some of the pieces I already owned. She also created outfits that I would have never put together and, notably, received compliments on once I did wear them. She was keenly aware of the fashion goals I had mentioned during our evaluation conversation and worked within that framework. Then Marisa and I went shopping and it was such a fun, productive and educational experience! Not only did Marisa select pieces that looked great on me, but she also explained why she made the selections and how they would work with the wardrobe that we were building. She has also introduced me to the amazing world of accessories. Each shopping trip has been a much-needed lesson in making the right fashion choices for myself and building a cohesive, stylish, and current wardrobe. A testament to her awesomeness is the compliments that I receive – not only on the outfits I bought with her, but also on pieces that I have purchased on my own since I started working with her… Working with Marissa has really transformed my concept of style and fashion. She is an exceptional stylist who is both professional and friendly. I look forward to working with her more in the future and recommend her very highly” https://www.stilistaboston.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576493214251-PKRZ77CGBBR1L3BS5K9L/iStock-542201276.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492474700-45JA8EKBEWJA3P7BEML1/iStock-897223360.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492492024-BUPC3UD2LXSAHB8562FC/iStock-871785730.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492529598-EKW3Y2HP3M8P96FGIJAG/iStock-862475926.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576593467110-TWJN9BAVTWWR544OFGKR/MarisaMeloski_144_web.jpg Contact - -sadaf “I had a wonderful experience working with Marisa... I purchased the wardrobe re-vamp package because I really needed some help and input. My life circumstances had changed a lot in the last few years: 1) I’d had a baby… 2) I had finally arrived at my pre-baby weight a couple of months before, but discovered that my post-baby, post-nursing body was different from my pre-baby body, even at the same weight. 3) I had gotten a big promotion a couple of years ago. 4) I had recently started a new job at a company which was much more formal than my last. I hadn’t bought new (non-maternity) clothes for over two years between trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, and then trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. My personal and professional wardrobes were out-dated, not suited for where my career was, and ill-fitting. Marisa spent several hours at my home discussing my objectives and style and then going through my closet with me. I tried on almost everything I owned and sorted through what to keep, alter, and toss. It was great - I got a new perspective from Marisa on what is current and what’s not… Based on this, Marisa created a shopping list of things for me purchase over time, to build my wardrobe. Then we shopped! This was so helpful and three hours flew by. Marisa helped me consider pieces and stores that I would have otherwise never considered or had previously dismissed because I had written them off as not flattering for my body. She also showed me that I was often buying the wrong size and that sizing down would be more appropriate and way more flattering. Finally, I got a new perspective on what looks good, what is current and how to think about what I’m wearing differently. Most of us (women especially) are very critical of our own bodies and focus on the “imperfections,” no matter how minor. Working with Marisa helped me appreciate my body more and become more open to things that flatter and work with my shape, rather than try to hide the parts of my body that I’m self-conscious of. I’ve already recommended Stilista and Marisa to several friends and would use Marisa’s consulting services again in the future.” https://www.stilistaboston.com/packages daily 0.75 2026-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576493097645-ZHJASB67XR1XQQDJGVKE/iStock-468774046.jpg Packages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492834868-EVRQHEGCJUB2JFMVIIC2/istockphoto-873226746-2048x2048.jpg Packages - -Natalia “…it felt like I was shopping with a good friend.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bca36d40490794d2d2bea23/1576492854976-FN4EAGA1GDSYI1NKZIM8/iStock-863881628.jpg Packages - Complete Overhaul $2575 An Initial Consultation Two 3-hour Wardrobe Analyses Two custom Shopping Lists Two 3-hour Shopping Trips Two 2-hour Outfit Creation Sessions Whether you have a large wardrobe or just want to conduct a meticulous wardrobe update, leaving no stone unturned, this package gives you the luxury of time and an excellent value.

With Marisa’s guidance, I was able to sort through my existing wardrobe in a timely manner, select certain existing items of mine…and plan accordingly for our shopping day. Marisa meticulously went through my entire schedule for the week…and offered terrific insights and suggestions for outfits for each event… We went to multiple locations on our shopping day together, she was able to get excellent discounts (with various coupons), and she deftly picked out numerous, reasonably priced, clothing and accessories for me... Among the expertise that Marisa imparted was a keen emphasis on the right fit for me for each item. This was key. I…received recognition (awards) in several competitions and connected to multiple agents on callback day. I believe the success I enjoyed…was based in no small part to the increased confidence in my clothing based upon all of Marisa’s styling advice.

It had been years since the last time I’d bought any significant amount of clothing, and my closet just hadn’t quite kept up with the changes in my style and my life; much of my clothing was either holdovers from undergrad (and I’m now in my late twenties) or from when I bought work clothes for my first job after college (and I’m now a grad student, so I want to look nice, but I don’t need to be super dressed up). From the first point of contact to set up an appointment, all the way to after our shopping trip, working with Marisa was a pleasure. She was prompt and professional, and also warm and helpful. When she came over to do my wardrobe audit, I immediately noticed (and liked) her style, and I knew I was in good hands. I really appreciated that she took the time to get to know me and my style during the initial evaluation. Then, over the course of our three-hour wardrobe audit, she helped me get rid of a lot of old clothes I just wasn’t in love with anymore, and helped me reimagine how to wear some pieces that had been hiding in the back of my closet. I usually really don’t enjoy shopping, so I was a little apprehensive about a marathon three-hour shopping trip, but shopping with Marisa was smooth sailing. Marisa went ahead to pull items for me, so when I arrived there was a dressing room full of clothes that I was excited to try on. She was understanding of the fact that I’m on a grad student budget, and she was attentive to looking out for good deals, while also guiding me on what pieces were worth spending a little more on. It’s been a few months since our shopping trip, and getting dressed has gone from being a chore to being a breeze. I consistently feel stylish and age-appropriate, and I love my new clothes. I’m thinking about hiring Marisa again (this time, to rebuild my spring/summer wardrobe), and I enthusiastically recommend her services to anyone who wants to overhaul their closet.” https://www.stilistaboston.com/purchase-form daily 0.75 2026-01-01
