“If you’re looking for an image consultant who only focuses on putting your outfits together you should keep looking. I had the pleasure of meeting Julie when she joined OSEC of Austin, a women’s entrepreneur group. Over the past year, she has provided valuable knowledge about her industry and has done an exceptional job of differentiating herself from others by focusing on her clients inner beauty while helping them capture the essence of their individual style personality.” August 1, 2010

“I have worked closely with Julie as part of Austin’s OSEC group. Julie goes the extra mile to help her clients. In working with them to create a wardrobe they love, she strives first to understand their preferences, what influences their current sense of style, and what they hope to achieve in working with her. In addition, Julie is always looking to find ways to provide her services to under-served populations, and she is a stellar community volunteer.”

“Julie and I have served on the South Central USA Chapter for the AICI (Association of Image Consultants International.) She is one of the most detail oriented and organized women I have ever work with. She is a person of integrity; always doing what she says she will do. I would highly recommend her to anyone for anything.”

“Julie is an amazing and poised presenter who is an expert in her field of Image Consulting. She was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule to volunteer her expertise to faciliate a session on professional dress and etiquette to a group of unemployed/under-employed women at Dress for Success Austin Going Places Network program sponsored by Walmart. Her presentation caters to individuals from all walks of life – streamlined and to the point and she was able to build an instant rapport with our client group. She has the ability to communicate with clients to the tools and resources they need to succeed in the workplace and for this reason we have invited her back to facilitate at our next cohort! Thank you Julie!”

“My closet is very small and crowded. Having Julie come over for a “Closet Edit” was the best thing I have done for myself in ages. She helped me figure out what to keep and what to toss. Julie created several outfits from pieces I hadn’t even thought to put together before, and best of all, everything is organized so I can actually see what I have…and I can wear all of it!”

“If you want something done and it you want it done well, on budget and on time, look no further than Julie Lara. As the Vice President of Programs for the AICI South Central USA chapter, Julie has time and again proved her resourcefulness and aplomb. Julie is one of the brightest, most capable image consultants I have ever met. It is a pleasure working with her on the chapter board and getting to know her as a person. You truly could not ask for more capable hands in which to place your image than hers. Julie Lara is the best.” February 13, 2009

“Oh my gosh! My closet was crammed so full of clothes that I couldn’t even close the door. It was terrible. Julie helped me edit my wardrobe and the result was miraculous! I hauled off eight bags of clothing for donation. It felt really great to help someone else out by de-cluttering my closet. The best part is that I have room in my closet now for new clothes to update my look! Thanks again, Julie.”
— Kris S. – Katy, Texas
I’m a busy Mom with two energetic little girls. I needed motivation to step up my old style of tees, sweat pants and jeans. Julie helped me get through that. We did a color analysis (I thought I knew my colors!) and worked with shades of make-up and lipstick. We cleaned out my entire closet and got rid of things I didn’t need.
WOW! What a difference. My favorite moment was a few days after my consultation with Julie. I was waiting to meet a friend for lunch. I was wearing my new color blouse and fabulous new lipstick and a stranger stopped to tell me how wonderful I looked and said that my eye color really popped. I was elated and just feeling so wonderful. I have held on to that compliment and know that my NEW appearance really has me looking my very best.

“What a gift Julie Lara gave to me this past Christmas. By simplifying and reducing the amount of clothing in my closet, I was able to bless four other women with my extras! Having her talents in my closet has made selecting outfits a snap. I would highly recommend that you give yourself a present this year by scheduling time with Julie so you can enjoy the results.”
