We never had more anxiety (not even during labour) than we did the night before returning to work after maternity leave. After a year of wearing yogurt-stained yoga pants, we felt like a feral child being returned to its parents.
Faster than you can say Oprah, our fairy godmother appeared, taking us out of the dark (or 1999) and quickly educating us on what people are wearing these days. After more than a decade of working at TNT (and then having her own baby), Yael Panet launched her own professional styling, shopping and wardrobe consultation service ($100/hr).
After a quick chat, the amiable Yael walked us through our closet, pulling out the dos (black pants, white shirt) and tossing out the don’ts (ahem, jean skirts). Best of all she let us know what our wardrobe needed to keep us current (funky accessories, more colour, less basics).
Should we have an upcoming trip (business or pleasure), Yael will even come to our house and pack efficiently for us before we go (leaving lots of room for new purchases to come home with us).
Like having Stacey and Clinton at our side (without the annoying, “Shut up!”), finding Yael was as momentous as finding the perfect jeans.
