In Sarah LaMont's own words: "When I graduated college with a degree in Graphic Design from the
University of Washington I had a hard time finding a job in my field,
that is when I secured a second job at Nordstrom in Downtown Seattle as a
Salesperson in the Women’s Petite Department. Admittedly, I didn’t
think it was a real job… on my very first day I tended to a 5 feet tall
woman who was overwhelmed trying to find something memorable to wear to
her son’s wedding. By the end of the day, not only had we found
something that made her feel beautiful but had accomplished the same
challenge for her husband. They were so happy I remember them tipping me
$100 and told me to use it to buy myself a bottle of vodka because 'I
deserved it!' This experience was eye opening to me… I always loved
getting dressed and saw it as a way to express who I was and how I
wanted people to see me; I cared more about body shape and proportion
and how fashion could be incorporated into your every day
lifestyle. While working at Nordstrom I encountered people who didn’t
see getting dressed as a creative expression but as a stressful hassle…
and I wanted to help. I do what I love: Styling for both men and
women, not just for special occasions and events, but for their Saturday
mornings and casual evenings with their family and friends. I believe
style should be part of your everyday life and doesn’t have to be full
of rules and “dry clean only” labels. I started this business so that I
can help each one of my clients find function and creativity in their
existing closets and never feel embarrassed to bump into people they
know while out doing errands again. Why style?… Why not!"
