PERSONAL STYLIng & COLOR ANALYSisUnlocking style for the skeptical
Stop overthinking your closet and start wearing what actually works. I use color science and wardrobe audits to help you ditch the decision fatigue, giving you a curated foundation that makes getting dressed the easiest part of your day at any age or stage.
We’ve all stood in front of a packed wardrobe feeling like we have absolutely nothing to wear—frustrated by a closet that no longer reflects our life or who we are now.
Maybe your style feels outdated, or you’re worn down from impulse purchases that looked good online but feel off in real life. I get it. Here’s the truth: you don’t need another influencer telling you what’s “in.” You need a strategic partner. Someone who helps you cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and build a wardrobe foundation that actually works—for you.
Hey there, I'm tERESA DILLONThe style partner you and your closet need
I was practically born into this work, raised by the O.G. of color analysis to believe that style is a powerful tool for self-expression. After 20+ years in corporate sales and business development, I hit reset to turn my lifelong instinct into Reluctantly Styled. As a Dallas-based stylist and color specialist, I help busy women (and men!) overcome their closet overwhelm and master the art of dressing.
My approach is education-first and trend-aware, focusing on what flatters your current body and lifestyle. Whether we are auditing your closet or diving into your seasonal palette, I’m here to make you feel effortlessly put together and to prove that you don’t have to “age out” of being modern, confident, and unapologetically you.
Ways we can work together
Whether you’re stepping into a new career or you’ve been prioritizing everyone else and want to feel like yourself again, we’ll build a style foundation that works for your real life and real budget.
