“Cleaning out my closet with you might be the best thing that has happened to me this year! I am so happy! Your expertise and advice are mixed with wisdom and sensitivity. You brought the knowledge of fashion to my house.”
Marcy W., Providence, RI
“Growing up, I was never able to identify my own personal style. When I won a style consultation and personal shopping with Jill through a contest, I was absolutely ecstatic! Jill really took the time to learn about me so that she could tailor the experience to who I am, what I wanted, and how I wanted people to perceive me. I can really say that I came out a better version of myself and I felt like a star the entire time. It also helps that I learned my pant size was actually smaller than what I was wearing!”
Andrea M., Warwick Mall makeover winner
“I had no idea what a profound effect working with Jill would have on my personal style and self confidence. Before I would buy something because I liked it and it fit (so I thought). Not surprisingly, everything looked the same … boxy, black or beige. Now I shop with a critical eye towards styles that actually fit and flatter me most, all based on Jill’s advice and guidance. I am finally wearing clothes that are the right size and that highlight the positives of my shape (even dresses and skirts have found their way back into my closet after a 15 year hiatus). I highly recommend working with Jill. She will deliver more value than you ever thought possible.”
Deb T., Wrentham, MA
“After being on maternity leave for for five months, I was intimidated to spend two days in meetings in New York City. But I followed your guidance and put together two sharp outfits that increased my confidence in the conference room. Thank you!”
Heather W., Providence, RI
“Thank you for today! The photo shoot was so fun and you made me feel so at ease and confident. Hope to work with you again soon!”
Tera N., Cranston, RI - Girl Gone Healthy
“Fashion magazines and splashy storefronts can make style seem out of reach for many. Jill breaks the stereotype and finds ways for all women – regardless of age, size, or budget – to embrace their personal styles and learn what works for them. Through her work on The Rhode Show, Jill speaks woman-to-woman and is relatable; she presents information in easy-to-understand, visual ways that most viewers can apply immediately to their lives.”
Rebecca Johnson, Executive Producer, The Rhode Show WPRI 12 CBS
“Jill has found a way to bring image to a spiritual level, to connect how we present ourselves to who we want to be; how to look in the mirror and see our bodies’ best features, highlight those features and embrace the body we currently have. Many of the women in my group coaching program were so inspired by Jill that they have been purging their closets, cutting and coloring the gray from their hair and wearing earrings everyday. Thanks to Jill, they understand the impact investing a little time can make to their self esteem.”
Hannah Marcotti, Hannah’s Harvest
“I attended one of Jill’s workshops on dressing for your body type. It was such a revelation! I learned to recognize and purchase pieces that would look good on my body type and not buy things just because they were “cute” (for someone else!) or on sale. That one hour workshop has saved me thousands of dollars.”
Lyn Conway, Founder, A Fresh Perspective
“What a change… I went from a drab, crumpled, conservative, and sloppy woman to one with style and flair! Jill is amazing; she helped me to find my inner stylish woman. I found the shape I need for my tops and a party for my pants! YES, color on bottom. Wow, I look good. I hated shopping; Jill made buying clothes easy and interesting. The day we went shopping everything was ready and clothes were put together so I could see the looks she had in mind for when I needed to put them together to wear. Ta-Da, I am going to be the next trendsetter of style!”
Liza R., East Greenwich, RI
“Thanks again for an AMAZING job! I LOVE all of the outfits – you seem to get my style and what I like. Thank you so much! I’m excited to use your services in the future!”
Bryna D., Eagle, ID
“It is obvious that Jill is invested in what she does and really enjoys empowering her clients. She advised me in regards to an upcoming local TV appearance. Her knowledge and experience helped me put my most stylish self in front of the TV cameras. I’m sincerely grateful, Jill. Thank you!”
Janine C., North Attleboro, MA
“After years in the corporate world, I decided to follow my passion in personal style. I had a lot of ideas but really wanted to learn from someone who had built a successful business. Jill’s training program provided me with everything I needed! She was an open book and willing to share some of the mistakes she made along the way – so that I didn’t have to make the same ones. She opened her business to me so I was able to pick her brain on every level and take what she taught me combined with my own style to create my business. Beyond the training program, I respect Jill as a person. I always look forward to talking with her and am inspired every time I speak with her.”
Tracey Sloan, Bridgewater, NJ (www.traceysloan.com)
“I am still on a high from yesterday! It’s actually a bit challenging for me to concentrate today after spending that incredible day with you. I sit here typing this email to you wearing my new skinny jeans, the wonderful grey sweater you found for me and that fantastic striped scarf. I look and feel amazing. You have absolutely changed my life! I don’t say that lightly. As you said in your radio interview, there is a direct connection between how people look and how they feel.”
Kate C., Northvale, NJ
“Working with Jill has been such an uplifting experience. The wardrobe makeover isn’t about her passing judgement on what isn’t working. Rather, it is about her helping me define who I want to become and what that person looks like, dresses like, and aspires to be. Thank you Jill!”
Bethany W., East Greenwich, RI
“I had a great time working with Jill! I’ve lost a lot of weight but I’m not at my goal yet — she did a great job dressing my body in this time of transition. I haven’t been out of my gym clothes in months and wasn’t sure what would work best for me. Jill is professional, full of personality and did an awesome job making me look good!”
Elizabeth Ruiz - The Biggest Loser Season 10
“To rescue wardrobes that are more like war zones, look no further than personal stylist Jill Marinelli. She helps new moms and those going through life or body transitions turn their closets into streamlined collections that suit the owner. Schedule an appointment for an overall inspection and Marinelli will offer suggestions of items to be purged and others on which you should splurge.”
Jamie Coelho - Rhode Island Monthly, May 2012
“Jill is on top of the trends while remaining true to personal style. She’s worked with our show for years, and is always able to take someone’s vision and transform it into a better version of themselves. Whether with our hosts or a makeover candidate, Jill really fulfills what the person is looking for while understanding that true style is more than just how you look; it’s how you feel.”
Ashley Erling - Producer, WPRI-TV CBS 12
“Jill’s presentation was my favorite part of Miriam Hospital’s Women’s Wellness Workshop! She was enthusiastic and creative in her presentation and used everyday women as models to show how different types of clothing work for bodies of all shapes and sizes. I look forward to hiring Jill to go through my closet and provide her creative advice on how to make the best use of my clothing and closet space. I know that her expertise can make all the difference in my look!”
Ellamarie McMullen – Miriam Hospital Women’s Wellness Workshop
“My husband told me to go shopping with you every quarter. I wore the gray cardigan and necklace we bought with cropped skinny jeans and literally got 4 compliments in 3 hours. Seriously, it feels great to have outfits I know work well for me and are unique. Thanks!”
Tricia B., Belmont, MA
“As the winner of a recent makeover contest, I was the fortunate recipient of Jill’s fashion expertise. Although I always knew I was wearing the wrong size and style clothing, I didn’t domuch clothes shopping because I didn’t know what to wear. Jill changed that! In the beginning, she sent me a very detailed questionnaire to get a sense of what I like and what I wanted my image to be. I was amazed at what a difference the right style and size clothing could do. I look forward to working with Jill again to help me select a stylish, chic fall wardrobe.”
Lynda G., Cranston, RI - Providence Journal Makeover winner
“Jill’s presentation was extremely fun, engaging, and inspiring. Her extensive experience with and knowledge of fashion and personal style was highly valued by the professional women in attendance. It became clear that many women in the audience benefit from Jill’s advice because it gives them the confidence they need in their appearance to further enhance the confidence they have in other aspects of their lives.”
Teresa McCarthy - Associate Professor of Marketing, Bryant University
“Jill, thanks so much for yesterday, it was such a Cinderella/ Fairy Godmother experience! I also wanted to tell you how inspired I am by the passionyou have for your job. It makes me so excited forthe next chapter of my life. Thanks for that too.”
Elizabeth H., Miami, FL
“Almost 3 years after having my daughter, I was dressing and feeling like a middle-aged mom. Jill went through my closet with me and not only helped me get rid of the offending clothes, but alsoshowed me the types of clothes I should buy for my body type, style and age. She then followed up with a list of suggested items to complete my wardrobe. I feel fresh and organized and now have room in my closet for some new clothes. Fabulous!”
Nicole S., Ramsey, NJ
“Thanks again! Not only are you incredibly talented, but you have a gift of making people feel comfortable in their own skin — no easy task!”
Kathy C., Providence, RI
“During my trip to Providence, Jill saved me hours of trying on jeans by putting aside only the styles that worked for my body type. Even better, the pair that looked the best were much less expensive than some of the designer labels I was considering.”
Joanne M., Medford, NJ
“Having Jill help me choose clothing and accessories has been exhilarating! She has helped me summon my inner fashionista. I now look forward to shopping and finding that fabulous sweater or pair of jeans (Thanks, Jill!)”
Christina T., North Providence, RI
“Jill helped me with a closet clean out after life with 3 children and the many shapes and sizes I have been. She has taught me to look at my body in a different way, highlighting the places that work, rather than obsessing about those that make me insecure. I have a simple, beautiful wardrobe now that makes getting dressed in the morning a breeze, and I am walking so confidently!”
Hannah M., Providence, RI
“Having been on a 12-year roller coaster with my weight, I had accumulated multiple ‘wardrobes’ over the years. Never had I considered what clothes looked best on me nor had I ever given any thought to what I wanted to project about myself with my image. Instead, I grabbed random items off the clearance racks when convenient or necessary. I had acquired a collection of clothing items that went on my body, but none that “fit” me. After a 25 pound weight loss and a lifetime commitment to wellness, my husband recently bought me the perfect birthday present — time with Jill Marinelli!”
