"Image isn't everything, but it is the first message you send when connecting with others. In career and in personal life, your visual presence speaks volumes: about who you are, where you're going, and how fast you'll get there. I'm here to help you make sure your message is on-purpose."
~ Patty Buccellato
Published Author & Image Coach
"As a shelter worker, counselor, play therapist, etc., my wardrobe consisted primarily of jeans and, if a "special day," maybe a nice sweater or blouse. As I worked into a more administrative function, I slowly added a few nice slacks, dresses, etc. but have never really felt comfortable in a suit ... I would love to find a style that makes me feel polished and comfortable."
"I have noticed that I am more confident in myself, less self-conscious, more relaxed around others and just generally more positive and ready to tackle things at both work and home."
"Over the years, the time I have to commit to shopping has diminished, and I find that my wardrobe is constantly in need of updating. I've been working hard to build out my wardrobe with trendy jackets and shoes, but I tend to be very conservative and have a hard time finding trendy clothes to fit a frame that is, shall we say, vertically challenged."
"I honestly did not realize how very little I knew about the correct styles and colors to help me look my best... Being willing to try something new and different has left me with an entirely new comfort zone - one that helps me look as polished and professional on the outside as I have always felt on the inside."
"I'd like to project a positive image for myself with a new hairstyle & makeup. My challenge is trying to find clothes that fit right. I'd like to feel good about myself with a new, fresh look."
"My makeover taught me so much about body shape, coloring and how to wear clothes and accessories... it made me come out of my shell a bit and show people the new me. I now feel more confident."

Wow! Patty has really helped me figure out my new "look" in a new promotion. I now have that glass office, but who is that behind the desk? Thanks to Patty's sharp eye and great advice, I now get the receptionists cheering when I step in in the morning. I feel so much better shopping with my color wheel in hand. Thanks, Patty! This is a game-changer. See Full Testimonial

I did a "Half-Day Image Transformation" with Patty and am so glad I did. Four hours with Patty was better than 20 years of reading fashion magazines because she focused on what worked for me. She helped me understand what colors look good on me and why. She also helped me understand what cuts would complement my shape. Now I know what to buy going forward and won't keep making the same expensive mistakes. My first day back at work after my session with Patty, I got multiple compliments (with no..."

Patty works with "what you've got" -- from your natural body shape (as it currently is!), to the colors that naturally compliment you and make you look healthy & vibrant, to what size jewelry to wear (large? small?) & where to place it. Who knew there was a "science" to dressing effortlessly?! Having my color fan has made shopping a breeze -- it takes less time, I know what I am buying will work for me, and I don't have to make returns! And, best: Patty works with the styles YOU like..."

"Having a Refined Images' Ultimate Makeover was one of the best decisions I have made this year! Before I met with Patty, I had a closet full of nothing to wear – accumulated over the years or acquired as gifts. I hated shopping, had trouble finding clothes that would fit right, and didn't even know where to begin to update my wardrobe. Once my daughter turned one, I was ready for a change . . . but between running a..." See Full Testimonial
