You Are…
The Poise-Under-Pressure Attorney
Your Badass Style Inspiration:
Olivia Pope
She doesn’t just ‘handle’ crises. The protagonist of Scandal neutralizes them before they hit the headlines.
Power plays, boardroom politics, late-night scandals: every storm is under her control by sunrise. Doubt never touches her, fear never cracks her composure. For every problem, she has an ironclad plan and the unwavering determination to execute it.
Her wardrobe is a power move in itself. While DC drowns in black and navy, she strides in wearing tailored lines, immaculate coats, and bold charcoal, forcing attention without saying a word.
There’s nothing soft about her neutrals. No timidity in her minimalism. Her look is pure dominance: deliberate, structured, impossible to ignore.
Because in her world, the right outfit doesn’t just make an entrance. It shifts power before negotiations begin.
Decisive. Unshaken. You Make the Call,
and They Trust It.
Your days don’t slow down: high-stakes negotiations, calls that can’t wait, late-night prep that keeps your mind running long after you’ve left the office. You don’t react, you anticipate. You don’t hesitate, you execute. When conversations turn tense, you don’t flinch.
You want that same decisiveness to shine through your wardrobe: streamlined shapes, tailored lines, deliberate simplicity. No loose pieces, stiff blazers, or bland basics that mute your presence. You don’t have time to second-guess, ‘Will this work?’ You need ‘This is it’ before you even pull it on.
Because when you step into the courtroom, sit across from a partner, or walk into a client’s office, your outfit should feel as decisive as your judgment.
Power dressing, stripped to its sleekest, most intentional form. Built for a woman who knows exactly where she’s headed, and isn’t asking permission to get there.
When Your Closet Feels Like a
High-Stakes Case…
You’re the one who keeps a level head when the pressure spikes. The one they call when the stakes are sky-high and the margin for error is razor-thin. So why should getting dressed feel any different?
If you’re like the high-powered women I work with, here’s what you’re probably dealing with:
You Want a Minimalist Look, Not One That Fades Into the Background
A well-cut monochromatic suit? That’s your signature. But there’s a difference between understated and unnoticed. Muted shades can be sharp and commanding…or fade into the background. And you? You weren’t built to blend in. Power dressing, your kind of power dressing, should say: unshakable, in control, the one to watch.
Precision, Without the Predictability
Minimalism isn’t about stripping things down until they all blur together. It’s about having the right pieces for the right moments. A suit that commands the courtroom should still make its entrance at dinner without feeling stiff or out of place. Minimal? Yes. Repetitive? Never.
Dressing Should Be a System, Not a Stress Test
You don’t have time for last-minute swaps, second-guessing, or settling for something ‘good enough.’ Getting dressed should feel automatic: pull it on, walk out, know it works. You need a fail-proof lineup that does exactly what you do: commands respect, eliminates doubt, and moves with absolute confidence. Because when you walk in, they should know exactly who they’re dealing with.

Let’s be real: when an outfit doesn’t fit right, it doesn’t just dull your look. It knocks your confidence sideways.
You’re tugging at sleeves, wrestling with waistbands, adjusting, fidgeting…right up until the moment you step into court or a client meeting.
Then you catch your reflection and think, “Seriously, why does nothing fit me right?”
It’s not you. It’s the clothes.
Why Brilliant Attorneys Like You Hold Back from Dressing Like Their Most Powerful Selves.
Kids, menopause, a shifting lifestyle: your body has changed. Maybe your waist softened, your arms lost definition, or your curves settled in places you didn’t expect (or ask for). Totally normal…but equally frustrating when your closet is filled with clothes that fit the old you. Or worse, clothes designed for runway models who have smaller waists than your legal pad.
Allow me to show you *THE* reality:
Less than 8% of women naturally have an hourglass shape.
Yep, not even 8%.
And yet that’s exactly who the fashion industry designs for. But if most clothes weren’t made for real bodies, does that mean that you and I should settle for feeling ‘meh’?
Not a chance.
"After menopause and returning to the office post-pandemic, my body had changed, and nothing in my closet felt right. Now, I no longer stress over whether I look put together."
I wanted to look polished and confident, but shopping was overwhelming. I tried styling apps, blogs, and department store stylists, but figuring it out myself was exhausting.
Then I found Estelle. Now? I know exactly what to wear. My closet is organized, getting dressed is effortless, and I never second-guess how I look.

How To Sculpt an Hourglass Shape,
No Matter Your Body Type:
To feel at ease in your clothes, you don’t need a different body. You just need clothes that get yours.
The secret’s simple: balance. Layering pieces that define where you need it, choosing tailoring that flatters without squeezing, and going for fabrics that skim, not cling.
That’s The Hourglass Method: a way of dressing that naturally creates shape and highlights you at your best.
The moment you start dressing this way, you’ll go from counting the minutes till you can peel off your clothes, to lingering at the mirror, thinking, ‘‘Damn, I look good.”
Just like my client who had an ‘aha’ moment the second she swapped slouchy for structured:
“Seeing myself in a structured jacket instead of an oversized cardigan was a wake-up call: I finally saw myself differently. I’ve always had big arms, but after seeing myself in photos, I realized I don’t need to hide them…I need structure.”
Or the one who finally discovered why button-ups never fit quite right:
And the one who swore blazers weren’t for her…until she tried one with the right silhouette:
“Blazers always felt stiff and wrong on me. Turns out, I just needed a different silhouette and better proportions.”
Once you see The Hourglass Method in action, you’ll never unsee it.
Let’s break down exactly how it works.
If You’re Smaller on Top
(Triangle/Pear)
Why Clothes Feel Off
Pants that fit in the hips but gape at the waist.
The Hourglass Fix
Even out your proportions: opt for A-line skirts & wide-leg pants that flare gently from the waist down
If You’re Smaller on Bottom
(Inverted Triangle)
Why Clothes Feel Off
Button-ups gape at the chest but feel loose everywhere else
The Hourglass Fix
Draw attention downward: choose prints or bold colors, or anything that adds volume to the lower half
If You Have No Curves
(a.k.a. Rectangle/Straight Shape)
Why Clothes Feel Off
Dresses often look shapeless instead of defining the body
The Hourglass Fix
Create curves where you want them: choose wrap dresses and belted styles in soft, drapey fabrics
If You Have an Hourglass Shape
Why Clothes Feel Off
Tops that fit your bust are too
loose at the waist
The Hourglass Fix
Follow your curves: choose structured tops and balance fitted pieces with softer, more fluid bottoms

Now that you’ve got the power players in your closet, let’s put them to work.
Whether you’re closing deals, calling the shots, or walking into a room where every move is clocked, this is how you enter: composed, calculated, and impossible to ignore.
Courtroom Command
Tweed blazer + colored power dress +
razor-sharp heels
You smooth your sleeve, take your seat, and glance up. Unhurried, unreadable. They’ve already registered who’s in charge.
Negotiation Edge
Camel trench + monochromatic top & pants + sleek belt + nude pointed toe heels
You adjust your cuff, meet their gaze, and wait. Let them fill the silence: your presence has already done the talking.
After-Hours Statement
Cape + white tailored pencil dress + razor-sharp heels
The reservation was last-minute. The impression isn’t. You step in, and the staff treats you as the VIP.
Weekend Mode
Tweed blazer + taupe cashmere turtleneck +
ivory trousers + nude heels + oversized sunglasses
You pull it on in seconds, but it looks like a calculated move. Because it is.
Wear the Authority You Already Own.
Your quiz results just confirmed what you had a hunch about…but maybe couldn’t quite put into words:
Minimal doesn’t have to be monotonous. You don’t do loud for the sake of it, but you’re not here to disappear, either. You want clean lines, strong tailoring, and clothes that hold their own, just like you do.
Power is in the details. The sharp cut of a blazer, the sculpted drape of a coat, the way a jacket defines your stance before you even say a word. Precision is your attitude. It should be in your wardrobe, too.
Less isn’t the goal. Better is. Every piece in your closet earns its place. No filler pieces, oddballs, or items that don’t match anything else. Just an intentional lineup that eliminates decision fatigue and guarantees confidence before your coffee kicks in.
If You’ve Come This Far, Here’s What I Know About You:
You don’t have the bandwidth to second-guess your outfit. Your day moves fast and you're over the exhausting loop of trying on, swapping out, and settling. You want to reach into your closet, grab any piece, and walk out looking as in control as your arguments.
You’re done dressing for ‘someday.’ Your confidence isn’t conditional on a future version of you; you already hold the room. Your wardrobe should reflect that: flattering cuts, sharp silhouettes, zero settling.
You know exactly where blending in ends and commanding attention begins. You're ready for sculpted tailoring, streamlined silhouettes, and those subtle yet powerful details that make the room lean in when you speak.
Make Getting Dressed the Easiest Part of Your Day.
Right now, it’s a time-sucking, confidence-killing battle.
But imagine this instead:
Your wardrobe is precision-built: zero fluff, no wasted space. Every piece fits, flatters, and sculpts your shape.
You reach for an outfit, slip it on, and head out the door with no tugging, no last-minute swaps, no second-guessing.
You walk into a courtroom, a conference, or a coffee shop, and the compliments follow: ‘That outfit is perfect on you’ and ‘Wow, where did you get that dress?’
No more...
Panic-buying a blazer that ends up buried in your closet after one (ill-fitting) wear.
Scrolling for hours through 24/7 options just to pick something ‘safe’ that still feels off.
Waiting for a ‘someday’ body to dress like the woman running the show now.
That’s what I do. I take your wardrobe (the good, the bad, the ‘I want to love it, but…’) and turn it into a lineup that fits your life, your body, your authority. TODAY.
And it starts with a 20-minute, no-fluff styling consult.
In 20 Minutes, We’ll Get Clear On:

How to close the gap between what’s in your closet and the presence you bring to the room. We’ll figure out why your wardrobe isn’t backing you up, and what you need to have clothes that fit, flatter and match the woman you are today.
The exact next move to turn ‘Nothing in my closet works’ into ‘This is exactly it.’ You’ll leave with a clear plan to build a lineup that turns heads and makes getting dressed the easiest thing you do all day.
Whether this is the styling support you’ve been missing, or you’ve ever wished for a styling expert who gets the world you move in, this is your chance to see if I’m that person, risk-free.
Before we talk, I’ll ask you to fill out a quick style questionnaire so we can get straight to the solutions you actually need.
And if we’re a good fit?

"I hated shopping, but wanted to look good. Enter Estelle!"
She found the perfect outfit, completely on brand, and it made me feel great.
Better yet, she was there each step of the way, helping me swap out pieces until everything was just right.
My satisfaction was her top priority, and that made me feel like a million bucks!

“Do I walk in now thinking, ‘I am the badass, thank you very much’? Absolutely. 100%.”
Every time a high-exposure case came up, the kind that wasn’t going to settle, I could just walk into my closet and pull together a polished look in minutes. Everything mixed and matched effortlessly. Zero stress.
Mornings feel different now. I sit with my coffee, read the news, and talk with my husband, without a single thought wasted on what to wear. It’s no decisions. I love it.

I Get It. Because I’ve Been There.
As a female attorney who spent 7 years navigating courtrooms, standing under the gaze of male colleagues, and juggling client expectations, I know this all too well: nobody hands you a rulebook for how to ‘look the part.’
The unspoken rules, though? Oh, they’re everywhere.
Too stiff? You come off unapproachable.
Too relaxed? They don’t take you seriously.
Too safe? Ugh…forgettable.
So how do you hit that just-right mix of ‘polished’ but not ‘rigid,’ ‘confident’ but not ‘intimidating’ without wasting hours second-guessing every outfit?
You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to keep guessing. Let’s do this together.
Not a One-and-Done ‘Styling Session.’ A Reach-In, Pull-On, Walk-Out System.
If, after your styling consult, we both see it’s a fit, I won’t just hand you a list of ‘nice basics’ and send you on your way.
I’ll work with you, for you. We’ll create a streamlined wardrobe that fits your shape, flatters your skin undertones, and frees up your mental bandwidth for the things that actually matter. (Because you have bigger things to focus on than an outfit puzzle to solve at 6 AM.)
This means…
Waking up knowing anything you put on works. Just grab, wear, and go.
Owning clothes that mix, match, and move at the speed of your life, from the courtroom to school pickup to date night.
Walking into client meetings, social events, and Zoom calls to ‘You always look so put together! What’s your secret?’
Finally looking in the mirror and thinking, ‘Damn right’ because your wardrobe finally lifts, drapes, and frames you in the best possible light.
Five Minutes. One No-Fail Outfit. Zero Stress.
You and I both know this: a no-fail, power-packed wardrobe isn’t something you throw together between emails and court filings.
It’s expertly curated and strategically streamlined, so pulling on an outfit is as quick and automatic as grabbing your case files and heading out the door.
If you’re done with mornings hijacked by outfit swaps, last-minute mirror checks, and that ‘Ugh, not this again’ feeling…
…And ready for a system of grab-and-go outfits that fit, flatter, and earn you compliments the moment you walk in…
Let’s make it happen.
I style women attorneys who know their wardrobe isn’t an afterthought. It’s a loaded argument, a closing statement, a clear-as-day declaration of ‘I’m in charge’ before they even open their mouth.
If that’s you, let’s get your consult on the books.
Hey! What stood out to you in your quiz results?
Was there a ‘Yep, that’s me’ moment? Or maybe a ‘Finally, someone put it into words?’ Whatever it was, I’d love to hear it!
DM me on LinkedIn with your thoughts. I read and reply to every message.
Or, if you know another woman who keeps waiting for ‘someday’ to find her own badass style, send this quiz her way. Because feeling great in our skin, shape, and style isn’t a future goal. It’s something we all deserve right now.
Before
After
"Estelle showed me I didn’t have to wait for the ‘perfect’ body to feel good in my clothes. Now, it feels like Christmas every day!
I was stuck wearing the same outfits over and over. I felt boring, uninspired, and self-conscious at all social events.
Now? People constantly compliment my outfits, and I actually love getting dressed.

Five years later, people still reach out asking, “Who styled you?” The ROI is clear.
When I launched my law firm, I needed a branding video series. The production company handed me a mood board that was totally not me. Estelle took one look and said, ‘I’ve got you.’
She went through my closet, built four distinct looks, and shopped for pieces that made sense for me.
Later, when I did a big branding photoshoot, she styled me for that too. Every piece, every detail, it was all intentional.
Five years on, I still use those photos and videos everywhere.
