Meet Sheri Phillips | Personal Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheri Phillips and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheri, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
In my field the common assumption can be that style and fashion is superficial, and while we all can admit we want to look good, the clothing won’t matter without confidence. I love how Diane Von Furstenberg frames it;

“STYLE IS ABOUT CONFIDENCE. THAT’S THE REAL BEAUTY.” Diane Von Furstenberg

Without confidence the clothing is just a bandaid something to hide behind rather than the person wearing the clothes and not the other way around. There isn’t just 1 box for everyones personal style but everyone deserves to feel confident and truly love themselves, the clothing is just the icing on the cake.

Theres a special relationship when you are spending time together helping them discover their style, who they truly are inside and out and how that relates to fashion and how they carry themselves through their day to day. A lot of times clients feel vulnerable asking for help because, understandably, change can be intimidating. I understand change and having to be flexible in life and style so there is nothing better for me than to be able to put them at ease and make them feel special, that’s when we can really get to work on a solid fashion transition. Theres nothing better than when I hear from a client that they thought they wouldn’t find anything but they leave feeling confident and beautiful.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For as long as I can remember there is nothing I find more exciting than encouraging people to discover their natural beauty and making it shine. I started out by selecting pieces for friends and family, based on my perception of their personality and style. After countless requests to share my talent with others, I decided to become a Professional Stylist. As a wife, mom, daughter and friend I know that we all have so many different hats that we wear which makes me passionate about helping others love the way they look.

In between starting our family, moving overseas, and all the adventures in between, I’ve learned to be flexible and know it takes time to build a brand that people can trust. There have been plenty of seasons where I didn’t think I could get back to work,(young kids, relocating) where I would be able to provide my clients with the quality service I strive for, but I am very lucky to have the support and love of my family and friends that have believed in me from the beginning. The best part of the journey is learning and growing, I am excited for whats next.

Theres nothing better than when I hear from a client that they leave our time together feeling more confident and beautiful than they did when they walked. Nothing can replace the ability to work with someone face to face, and create a personal experience.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
GIRLS WEEKEND!

First, we would need to start any getaway with a little pampering and head to the Woodhouse Spa for some rejuvenation! The best part is we will already be at Market Street, a central area full of shopping, food and entertainment! Everything within a walk of one another. From pampering to a little clothes shopping at Jcrew, Madewell, Lululemon just to name a few and of course grabbing a little treat from Sweet Paris Creperie & Cafe to keep energy high! When you’re ready for a little downtime hop on the complimentary Trolley back to your hotel on the Waterway for a little pool/ nap time. Ready for some food, head over to Hughes Landing to have your choice of cuisine. From steaks to sushi you can’t go wrong with a lakeside view while you eat. The nights not over so the trolley would take you back to the Waterway where you could enjoy drinks and music at Amrina or rooftop views at The Rose. One of the reasons The Woodlands has become such a popular place to live and visit, is that everything truly is at your doorstep. From all the outdoor activities to music and cultural experiences you won’t be bored!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Without the support of my amazing husband, Brandon I would not have stepped out on my own. He has been my biggest cheerleader, supporter, business manager and friend throughout my journey. To all my amazing friends and clients that have supported me and hired me, I could not have done this without them.
