Pro style tips with Gastown shopping trip

Photos by Nancy Sohl 

Jessie Carlson and Michelle Addison from Jessie Carlson Wardrobe held their private Gastown Shopping Trip at three of Gastown’s stylish boutiques last week: The Block, One of a Few, and Obakki. With only five shoppers, the media, and assistance from sales associates at each boutique, the event helped connect participants find their perfect fashion fit. 

Carlson and Addison worked their magic on all five shoppers. “I never would have found myself wearing this,” said one shopper, trying on an oversized loose white top from Obakki. With only two stylists helping the shoppers, Carlson and Addison were able to build each of the client’s personal style and wardrobe in under three hours.

Serena Mason, String Magazine’s Boutiques editor  and Jordana Mah, Being High Maintenance blogger and Schema Magazine editor,  also attended the event.  You can attend too.  See below for more information.
