Emily W., Sydney, Australia

“Jill’s style advice gives me permission to dress simply and find great pieces that feel like me. I have little sayings I've picked up from her that go over in my mind like 'one in one out' of my closet when I buy something new, or 'does this fit my 3 word style statement' when I am looking at a new clothing item.

Jill is great at providing helpful and immediately applicable ideas. My favourite is her Substack newsletter with links to products as she has done all the hard work behind the scenes to research and locate the best of and then simply gives me a direct link!”

Roberta B., Providence, RI

"Jill is simply a pleasure to work with! She has terrific consulting skills and strong emotional intelligence. I have used her for personal style help as well as for several corporate projects. I love that she has expanded her positioning to the broader topic of the power of personal appearance in driving your individual brand. And it is a gender neutral need; men as well as women can benefit from Jill's approach. She is judgment free and full of practical suggestions."

Kamrin H., Providence, RI

“Working with Jill is the support EVERY WOMAN deserves and needs. She is incredibly helpful, kind, compassionate and professional.

For the closet cleanup, she arrived with a rolling rack, emptied my hanging clothes out of my closet and had me try on every single item. Jill's expertise was remarkable. Having someone who knows which black pants you need to have in your closet when all of your pre-Covid ones are tired and need to be dumped was so wonderful! She does it with such kindness and professionalism that I never once felt self-conscious.

When Jill left, I could see everything I owned in my closet, the floor was clean, everything was organized and we had a list of items we'd identified as the basis for our shopping trip. The day we shopped was fantastic. She helped me style outfits with advice that works way beyond what we bought that day together. It was worth every penny and I think everyone should work with her!

Getting dressed is SO MUCH BETTER and I get compliments all the time now! Don't wait, call her and get on her schedule. :)”

Michelle Marchetti, AAA Northeast

“Jill presented, The Power of Style: Elevating Your Personal Presence and Professional Image to our Women's Employee Resource Group and it was a huge success! She effortlessly combined her expertise in style with her understanding of the unique challenges that women face in both their professional and personal lives.

What truly set Jill apart was her ability to connect with the audience on a personal level. She is engaging, fun, knowledgeable, and encouraged open dialogue, making us feel comfortable sharing our own experiences and challenges. What I loved most about her presentation is that she spoke about the science behind style and how looking your best makes you feel your best which translates to you performing your best.

I cannot recommend Jill enough to anyone looking to enhance their personal presence and professional image. Her presentation is still being talked a month later by the women in our group! I am confident that you will love Jill too!”

Kim S., Hawley, PA

“I loved working with Jill! The style consultation and closet clean-out were incredibly helpful! I was able to get rid of so many things AND I feel like my wardrobe actually doubled with all the styling tips suggestions you gave me. It came at the perfect time for me as I am embarking on a video campaign and need a variety of outfits to wear for the camera. I’m excited to get dressed each day, get compliments galore and feel like a million bucks! Thank you thank you!”

Julie C., East Greenwich, RI

“Thank you so much for a great clean out and shopping experience. I am feeling refreshed about streamlining what I have in the closet and also adding some needed pieces that will last a long time! You have quite a talent to be able to create these outfit visions and I thank you for teaching me. I felt so comfortable working with you and appreciate your honest feedback! Exactly what I was looking for!”

Rachel Barber, Chief Technology Officer, IGT (formerly GTECH)

“If you’re looking for an inspiring corporate event for your women’s network, then look no further!

We hired Jill as a guest speaker for our women’s networking group and she was excellent! Jill’s presentation, “The Power of Style: Elevating Your Personal Presence and Professional Image” was very engaging and informative. She left the audience with several tips to make better style choices, while backing up her recommendations with research and real examples that everyone could relate to and remember.

Jill’s approach to life and to her work is one that puts you at ease, while helping you to look and feel your best. She combines her extensive knowledge of style with a very approachable, funny, and friendly attitude that makes you feel confident that you can do it too!”

Wendy M., Providence, RI

“The Closet Cleanup with Jill was revolutionary and I wish I had met her decades ago! I now know why there were so many clothes in my closet that I didn’t wear. Jill has great tips & tricks to improve your style and make the clothes you love look better on your body. She made my Personal Shopping trip effortless and an absolute pleasure by pre-selecting clothes that we agreed I needed which were all ready to try on and buy! I feel so much better about my wardrobe and know that spending the time and money with Jill will pay back in spades as I now have a better sense of what to buy in future to make me look and feel good!”

Ali F., Providence, RI

"Wanting to break the cycle of buying and returning things that didn’t work for me, I reached out to Jill for help. Over the course of one afternoon, Jill had me try everything in my closet on, highlighted what worked well, and helped me to see why somethings were not a good fit. Jill also identified a few items that would fill a few gaps in my wardrobe.

My shopping is now more targeted, my closet is better curated, and it is so much easier (and more fun!) to get dressed!"

Barb McDonald, Global Account Manager, Vodafone

“Jill presented "Executive Presence, Professional Image, and Impactful Communication in a Virtual World" to our team with an impactful mix of confidence and charisma. Her session enthralled our people and promoted honest dialogue on experiences related to personal assurance and presenting your best self.

Jill is a natural – her presence enlists your attention and captures your mind and body. Time spent as Jill’s audience encourages reflection and promotes attainable image goals . The content for her presentation was rooted in social science research and studies, as well as her successful years as a public speaker, speaking coach and style consultant.

Our experience with Jill was an investment in our people - we are so very proud to have delivered this event.”

Maria D., Providence, RI

"Jill supports women in understanding personal style as a form of both self-expression and self-care. She steers away from fads and helps her clients and audience members find a chic, comfortable, engaging way to make their insides and outsides match. Some of what she offers are particular tips and tricks, but the message is larger: you can easily become an even more powerful version of yourself. Because she is not only very smart and savvy, but very real, she accomplishes this through a clear, compelling delivery interspersed with humor and personal vulnerability."

Alayne W., Bristol, RI

“Jill knows my style - she doesn’t inject hers- but rather helps improve mine- this is what I have loved about working with her for the last 7 years - she’s there for a closet redirect, shopping suggestions, fills in the holes with just a few items and helps you understand what works for your body type, your personal style and the money you choose to spend on all of the moving parts - I highly recommend her services- well worth the time!”

Andrea McHugh, Marketing Director, Discover Newport

"I hired Jill Marinelli as the featured speaker for an industry-wide meeting to present: “The Power of Personal Style: How to Make a Memorable First Impression While Boosting Your Confidence – and Your Bottom Line.” Jill addressed what can be a sensitive subject in an informative, insightful and graceful way. Her dynamic presentation, backed by credible studies, made the case for professionals dressing in a manner that is personal, powerful and projects confidence so that our experience, effectiveness and excellence will shine though. Her expertise combined with an engaging presentation made for a memorable, highly praised experience."

Jamie Coelho, Rhode Island Monthly magazine

"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."

Tricia B., Belmont, MA

"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!"

Carrie Majewski, Founder, Women in Leadership Nexus

"Jill has an incredibly powerful presentation style that inspires attendees to think differently, while doing so in a very human, accessible way. Jill doesn't talk at your attendees. She talks with your attendees and, in so doing, is memorable, relatable and impactful.

Our members were excited and passionate to start employing Jill's frameworks to up-level their style to reach a heightened level of confidence. Jill is a dynamo presenter; we will still be talking about her workshop for years to come!"

Shelley P., Lincoln, RI

"I can’t believe I hesitated to work with you! There is a difference between reading in theory about your body shape and actually having a personalized prescription. I feel like I really ‘get it’ now and know what to look for. I was left with no unanswered questions and real direction for my outfits whilst still honoring ‘my’ taste and style preferences. Thank you for a fascinating day - you have such talent, Jill, and real heart."

Emily Manocchio, VP of Programs & Education, ILEA Rhode Island

"Jill uses evidence-based principles rooted in behavioral science to support her straightforward, simple advice. Her visual aids were powerful but succinct, and she was completely relatable and likable. Sometimes, we just need to be reminded of what we already know; we need to be given permission to spend extra time and money on things that matter (i.e., make a big impact) and not on things that don’t! I really appreciated Jill’s approach and manner of humanizing embarrassing fashion foibles (like showing up to a meeting with a wrinkled shirt or a run in your nylons) while helping us gain perspective on small, easy fixes that will prevent us from stepping in those same traps over and over again. I could listen to Jill all day; she is a remarkable person and a wonderful presenter!"

Nicole S., Ramsey, NJ

"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 also showed 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!"

Jane M., East Greenwich, RI

"In her presentation at the Bryant University Women’s Summit, Jill effectively explained how the way we dress and carry ourselves indirectly communicates so many varied messages- both to others and ourselves. She integrated research and used great examples of how we can not only amp up our style but also feel fabulous and leave lasting impressions. Jill is very relatable and approached the subject in a down to earth way, showing that every woman has the capability to make slight tweaks and changes to her style without breaking the bank or getting to her “ideal weight". The experience was lively and interactive; I couldn’t wait to implement some of Jill’s ideas when it was over!"

Kamrin H., Providence, RI

“Jill has an amazing way about her that instantly puts you at ease and helps you focus on all of your BEST features. Thanks to her I will never, ever feel bad about pencil skirts again. It's not my fault, it's the skirt's fault. They are cut for tall, straight hipped women, of which I am neither.

She will also arm you with secrets that you can use forever when you shop for yourself. She is very knowledgeable about human bodies and how women, specifically, are perceived. I really can't speak highly enough about her!”

Danielle D., Portland, ME

“Jill provides such attainable everyday style hacks. Her recommendations are fun, easy to acquire and help me feel good about myself even when I’m dressed down. If you haven’t already followed her on Instagram, I highly recommend you do! Invaluable information!”

Lori G., Cranston, RI

“I feel I have been deeply cared for in our work. I hired Jill to help me find the right fit when it came to looking for my “style” and understanding how to shop. I wanted clothes that fit and felt reflective of my persona. We went through my closet and donated a lot! Then we went shopping for foundational pieces that could mix and match. I feel great in wardrobe, I have learned so much, and surprisingly, I am receiving so many compliments!”

Deb W., East Greenwich, RI

"Jill helps women live more authentically and beautifully in their own skin."

Sherry C., Slatersville, RI

"I can’t even begin to describe how awesome it was to spend time with you. To say you are delightful is an understatement! You are simply lovely. The Closet Cleanup was so much fun, I learned a lot, and purged - which I love to do! What is most important is how you made me feel. You have such a great spirit and so positive it made me feel so good. I have a peace because of that time in your presence and that is not only super rare, it’s priceless. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Caryn S., Douglas, MA

"Thank you so much for the amazing style tips you gave at the Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski national conference! At 4 feet 7 inches and almost 42 years old, buying clothes and styling an adult my size is a challenge everyday. I am going to look for “my uniform” and take your tips with me! Thanks again for sharing valuable information!"

Nicole Polacek, Head of Promotions, Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski

"Jill is our go-to fashion guru, lending her knowledge of the latest fashion trends and style secrets every woman wants to know. She’s a polished speaker and presenter and commands an audience, both live and on video. In our fashion-based business, Jill has helped our sales force feel confident by looking their best and giving them great style tips they can share with their customers. Jill is a trusted professional and a pleasure to work with."

Elizabeth Ruiz, The Biggest Loser Season 10

"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!"

Rebecca Johnson, News Director, WPRI 12 CBS

"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."

Teresa McCarthy, Associate Professor of Marketing, Bryant University

"Jill’s presentation at the Bryant University Women’s Summit 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."

Amanda A., Lincoln, RI

"I love everything I bought and have already worn all of the items. My husband loves all the outfits 😀. Thank you so much for all your guidance - you have completely changed my style for the better!”

Michaela Crimmins, Senior Program Manager, URI Alumni Association

"The URI Alumni Association was so fortunate to have Jill Marinelli as a featured guest speaker for the Women's Council Spring Symposium. Jill shared the importance of personal style to the students in the audience who are nearing graduation and about to enter the real world. She gave practical tips such as how to wear a uniform, where to shop, and how to feel confident with your every day style. She is engaging, professional, and a true class act. I would recommend her as a speaker to any company or organization!"

Beth A., East Greenwich, RI

“What an amazing experience! I was amazed how Jill helped me make my current clothes work for me. She helped my sister (who recently lost almost 100 lbs and her butt) and I understand how to make the most of our body type and individual features. She gave me a short list of pieces that my wardrobe lacked. I was amazed by how the new pieces and the tweaks to how I was wearing what I have improved my wardrobe. It is so much easier to dress now. I have so much more confidence! I will not hesitate to do this again! What a gift Jill has!!! Totally worth the investment!”

Pam M., Providence, RI

“I had no idea clothing would make such a difference in my attitude. I am so thankful for you and how you help women clear their inner thoughts on how they see themselves. Your patience and keeping focus on what the client is asking for is a real talent. I modeled all my clothes for my daughter and she said “wow, that lady really got you!” I feel amazing!”

Kathy C., Providence, RI

"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!"

Michele S., Boston, MA

“My time spent working with Jill was inspiring! The only negative is that I waited far too long to hire her. She puts you at ease immediately and offers practical advice for curating a closet that suits your personal style, body type, and budget. Since working with Jill shopping is a pleasure versus a chore. Thank you for a wonderful experience from beginning to end.”

Ingeborg H., Stow, MA

“I have always thought of clothes shopping with dread; the large department stores with racks of clothes, the impersonal feel, the bright lights, the inability to pick anything that I liked. Even the small boutique shops intimidated me. So I began to shop solely online, which was hit-or-miss. As a result, I had a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear. When my daughter mentioned Jill, I decided to go for it.

Jill was completely comfortable to be with: no judgement. She gave me honest feedback on some of the outfits I had kept for years ("too short for you", "um, a bit dated") but somehow I didn't feel overwhelmed. Our shopping day was pure fun. She collected outfits for my body type in styles that would flatter my figure, some which I wouldn't have picked, but they worked! I have the confidence now to find clothes that will work for me. Bravo to Jill. I highly recommend her.”

Ellamarie McMullen, Miriam Hospital Women’s Wellness Workshop

"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!"

Michelle T., Fort Myers, FL

"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!"

Alison K., East Greenwich, RI

"I want to thank you for your wonderful style consultation and closet clean out. I feel lighter, having purged my closet of all the things that really weren’t working for me anymore. Your warmth, kindness and objective eye were so helpful. Thank you for a really fun experience and for helping me make the most of this transition into a new phase of my life."

Tracy LeRoux, Gabelli School of Business, Roger Williams University

"Thank you so much for another wonderful speaking engagement at Roger Williams University! Our Fashion Marketing students learned so much from your dynamic presentation. You are both a wealth of knowledge and a wonderfully uplifting speaker."

Wendy L., Alexandria, VA

"I think of you every time I get dressed for business events and I never have to wonder whether I have something to wear. It's great every time!!"

Marcy W. Providence, RI

"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."

Kate C., Northvale, NJ

"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."

Heather W., Providence, RI

"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!"

Liza R., East Greenwich, RI

"What a change… I went from a drab, crumpled, conservative, and sloppy woman to one with style and flair! 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. Jill is amazing; she helped me to find my inner stylish woman!"

S.L., Connecticut

“From the initial consult, to the closet cleanup, to the shopping day, Jill made every step a delight! It’s daunting to invite a stranger into your life to talk about your personal style, but with Jill it’s like having your BFF come over! After each phase of the process different feelings evolved as Jill encouraged me to view clothes in a different way than I was accustomed. Learning about my body type and then selecting clothes to flatter me was a truly freeing feeling. No more mindless shopping!

Jill is friendly, kind and doesn’t come across with even a hint of judgement. You can feel immediately how sincerely she wants to help you achieve your style goals and create a way of dressing that encourages confidence, comfort and practicality.”

Lynda G., Providence Journal Makeover Winner

"As the winner of a Providence Journal 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."

Bryna D., Eagle, ID

"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!"

Andrea M. Warwick Mall Makeover Winner

"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!"

Sheila T., Little Compton, RI

"Thank you for giving such a wonderful presentation! Even the folks who were a little nervous because they’re not “fashionistas” loved it! And thank you for your generous spirit in reassuring everyone that no matter their size, age or wallet, they can look and feel better about themselves…such a wonderful message and given in such a non-judgmental way."

Marilyn S., Bristol, RI - Personal Stylist Training Program

"I enrolled in Jill's Personal Stylist program to follow a passion of mine (fashion) and to enhance my nutritional coaching business, enabling me to offer additional services to my clients. Jill's program was chock full of information, fun and for the first time in my life, homework assignments were enjoyable and I approached them with enthusiasm. She is professional, confident, and knows how to make her clients look and feel their very best. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have studied under Jill Marinelli."

Tracey Sloan, Bridgewater, NJ - Personal Stylist Training Program

"After years in the corporate world, I decided to follow my passion in personal style. I wanted to learn from someone who had built a successful business and Jill's 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. I was able to 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."

Stephanie M., Providence, RI - Personal Stylist Training Program

Lynn M., Swansea, MA - Personal Stylist Training Program

"I signed up for the Personal Stylist Training Program with the desire to learn, but what I actually got was a wonderful foundation to begin my career as a stylist and also a great understanding of what is necessary to begin a successful business. Jill couldn't be any more approachable or informative. She is so forthcoming with sound advice and guidance all the while allowing me to develop my business vision. A worthwhile investment for the future you!"
