PERSONAL STYLING Testimonials


  • “Laura has taken my wardrobe to a whole new level. I had worked with a stylist previously and was unhappy with the experience, so I was hesitant to work with another stylist - particularly someone remotely. As an executive working in finance, I struggled to find my style - particularly something that was age-appropriate - not too young but also not too old for me. 

    Laura has exceeded my expectations on all fronts. She has an excellent eye for all types of clothing and is a pro at the combo of high-low styling. I have received many compliments since I started wearing outfits styled by Laura. Even pieces I’ve had in my closet for years that I’ve struggled to style are now in rotation! I highly recommend her. And she’s a great person to boot!”

    - Serena, CFO  |  New York City

  • “I cannot thank Laura enough for the styling work she has helped me with thus far, and I look forward to her helping me finish out the rest of my closet in the coming weeks and months. I initially reached out to Laura because my husband and I had a long weekend event, and I needed help getting three days' worth of outfits lined up. 

    Laura and I live about two hours apart, so all of this was done via FaceTime, texts, and phone calls. Once she got to know me and the expectations of the weekend, she did such a great job at picking out items I was comfortable with, but also got me out of that comfort zone and into some fun pieces I never would have added on my own. 

    For the Kentucky Derby, she was able to help coordinate outfits for both my husband and me. The weekend went well, because Laura took all of the stress out of having to worry about what to wear. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Laura and seeing what fun, comfortable & versatile items she continues to help me add to my closet!”

    - Lindsey Drinkwitz  |  Columbia, Missouri 

  • “I hired Laura because I had a lot of great pieces but didn’t really know how to put them together, and many of them went unworn. She was extremely helpful with that, but what she does goes well beyond simply organizing a wardrobe.

    Most importantly, she gave me the confidence to try new things and actually enjoy wearing them. The process was fun, and—perhaps more critical than anything else—she broke my long-standing addiction to plain old khakis.”

    - Dave  |  St. Louis

  • “Most of my waking hours for many, many years were spent in professional attire, and that was my comfort zone. When I entered a new phase of my life, I was really unsure how to find my off-hours style. I floundered around for a while, but just couldn’t find my stride. Enter Laura. The closet editing process helped her get to know me, my tastes and how I live. She helped me re-imagine many of the pieces in my wardrobe, and made several suggestions for new pieces to fill the gaps. What resulted was a variety of casual, but elevated looks for a variety of occasions from lunches with friends to date nights on trips with my husband. I didn’t realize how much my style rut had impacted my confidence until I started to present myself differently- and I felt really great for the first time in a while. I feel like I’ve reclaimed the confidence of the capable, professional me as I continue to transition to this new chapter. Laura is a highly capable stylist. But, wow, she is also a fantastic person to spend time with. Working with her is a highly impactful experience that I would recommend for anyone who wants to show up in life as their best self. The experience is truly transformational.”

    - Jen Fogerty  |  St. Louis 

  • “Laura styled my look for the 2024 SOFI Awards, and her attention to detail, innate sense of style, and ability to understand and elevate my personal aesthetic went far beyond my expectations. 

    She and her team curated an experience that helped me step into my most confident and authentic self. Laura’s touch truly brought a sense of sophistication, and I can't recommend her enough.

    Working with the amazing Laura Sawyier was an absolute dream!”

    - Andréa Purnell  |  Saint Louis, MO 

  • “I sought Laura's help with a series of out-of-town events requiring specific dress codes due to the events' themes, weather, and location. I assumed nothing in my closet would work for these events, but Laura was very helpful in using many items I already owned and styling them in ways I would not have thought of. The items that she did recommend to purchase for these events were thoughtfully chosen to be able to incorporate into my wardrobe long-term as well. 

    As a busy professional, her styling and shopping portal was an incredibly efficient use of time. It also made packing for the trip much more straightforward, as everything was already laid out in the portal, including shoes, accessories, and jewelry. 

    I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend!”

    - Alex, Real Estate Advisor  |  St. Louis

  • “I recently went on a weekend trip to Seattle to visit a friend and see a concert. Typically, I would be in panic mode, rushing around to find something to wear and not finding any options. Knowing I now have outfits I feel good about is life-changing, and I feel excitement instead of dread about going! Thank you Laura!!!”

    - Courtney  |  Truckee, CA

  • “I love fashion, but was in a rut and had become super picky; shopping, but coming home with nothing. Or, worse, caught in a cycle of buy - return - buy - return. With a job in the luxury travel industry, I am in constant need of pieces suitable for travel, hotel events, and elevated dinner meetings.

    After following Laura on social media, I finally reached out, and am so thrilled I did. She helped me cut through the noise, and sourced pieces that are versatile staples, but fun and modern too. I love my new wardrobe, and finally canceled that Rent the Runway subscription!”

    - Amy Zebala, Luxury Travel Agent  |  Chicago, IL 

  • "Working with Laura is the best thing I did for my professional and personal wardrobe, which translated directly to raising my confidence level when walking out the door and into rooms where I want to impress. She helped me tackle the overwhelming task of transforming my tired closet into quality style choices that are thoughtfully put together. An unexpected bonus has been getting to know her and her kind personality. Because of her talent and genuineness, it is no wonder she attracts great partners to work with that expand the resources she offers. I look forward to working with her year after year."

    - Erica  |  St. Louis

  • “When I was in search of a new everyday bag, I sought the expert advice of my dear friend, Laura. She gave her honest feedback on longevity, provided recommendations, and, most importantly, ensured I felt comfortable with my purchase.

    When I was ready to commit, the size, color, and style I specifically wanted was not in stock. With no effort on my end, Laura was able to work behind the scenes with Bergdorf Goodman - thanks to her partnership - to special order the exact bag I wanted and very quickly ship it to me. Not only was Laura responsive and made this process seamless, but she is knowledgeable, genuine, warm, and reassuring. If you have not had the pleasure of working with Laura, I could not recommend her more; she meets you where you are, both in your personal style and within your budget, and quite honestly, gets things done.

    Thank you, Laura, for giving this bag a good home!”

    - Arianna Muckerman, Corporate Strategist  |  St. Louis

  • “Laura doesn’t just help you with your closet; she elevates your confidence by helping you create your unique style and then put the pieces together for you. Her approach is incredibly intentional and thoughtful, and I value her opinion now on everything I add or delete from my wardrobe.

    Most importantly, she reignited my passion for fashion, and it’s made my confidence level skyrocket! I am so grateful to her, and this is an investment I am an advocate for because it amplifies your Glowe!”

    - Whitney Kenter, CEO  |  Denver + St. Louis

  • “Laura is an outstanding styling consultant! 

    She is fun to work with and is diplomatic in communicating when it is time to part ways with a style found in your closet. The platform she uses for her clients is easy to navigate. My favorite feature is the “Closet” where I can find pictures of the outfits she has put together for me. Actually, it is a toss-up. I REALLY love the “Finds” section where she lists the items she has found for me to potentially purchase. Laura successfully scours the internet looking for pieces across all price points, and I’ve been very happy with her recommendations! 

    Laura does a wonderful job of styling her clients based on their age and preferred fashion. This is clear as Laura's clients don't have a "look" that signifies they work with her. Rather, she takes the time to get to know her clients, performs an inventory of their closets, and understands the styles they gravitate towards. With this information, she helped me build a closet of classics that I wear confidently out into the world!”

    -Heather, Real Estate Advisor  |  St. Louis

  • “I was stuck. Due to a job change, letting my hair go grey, and a post-Covid hangover into super-casual clothing, I could no longer make sense of my wardrobe. But just three quick hours with Laura resulted in a pile of clothes to donate, a few things to sell, a list of a few key items that would create more flexibility, a stack of alterations to freshen silhouettes, and best of all, 43 OUTFITS FROM MY EXISTING WARDROBE!

    What an eye Laura has. She’s an artist who understands fit, proportion, color, texture, scale, and quality. She also knows fibers, textiles, and construction, which is invaluable in building a consistent, enduring look. Her range is astounding, as she incorporated everything from my Uniqlo and Zara pieces to Chanel and Lanvin.

    Goodbye to wasted time and frustration. Hello to renewed confidence, dressing quickly in the morning, and no more random online shopping for whatever I thought I needed. For a nominal investment, Laura saved me thousands of dollars and did so in a non-judgmental, gracious, and encouraging way. I cannot recommend her services enough and look forward to fine-tuning my closet with intention in the future.”

    - Anne, Fine Jewelry Consultant  |  St. Louis

  • “Working with Laura Sawyier has been life-changing for me. I got caught in a rut of weight gain and wearing black leggings with and for every event. I was only wearing 5% of my huge closet, so when I decided to make a change, I found Laura!

    After three 2-hour closet sessions of trying on and clearing out the items that no longer fit me, suited my body, or brought me joy, and shopping new recommendations she provided, I can now say that for the first time in my life, I walk into my closet knowing that every piece fits, suits my body type and daily lifestyle. She's taught me how to put it all together. It's a phenomenal feeling!!!

    This experience has motivated me to lose more weight and elevate every aspect of my life. I'm excited to get up, get ready and pick a look for the day! She truly has a knack/gift or a superpower for identifying someone's fit and style, making them feel dynamite about meeting the world and its challenges head-on.

    I will forever be grateful for this experience and want to share her with all my friends, family, and employees. Thank you, Laura!!!"

    - Nancy Smith, Entrepreneur & Philanthropist  |  St. Louis + Naples

  • “I want to thank Laura for coming by and helping me sort out and pare down my closet.  With her help, I got rid of some clothes that weren’t serving me anymore and were giving me choice paralysis in the mornings. It really feels good to wake up and know that I will feel comfortable in whatever is in my closet now.

    No more choice paralysis or feeling like I’m wearing clothes that do not help me present the image that I want to present to the world.  Sometimes it just takes an outside voice to help you get over the hump and get rid of some old stuff that you don’t know why you have it anymore.”

    - Alex, Attorney [Men’s Styling]  |  St. Louis

  • “If you are considering hiring Laura Sawyier, I am here to tell you how much you will love working with her. I had fallen into a style rut during and after COVID. I had wanted to hire a stylist and happened to meet Laura at an event in St. Louis, I and knew right away she was an amazing fit. She has a very thorough process to understand your objectives, style tendencies, and sensitivities.

    As I found myself in a season of change, Laura’s process helped me further align my closet to the person I am personally and professionally. She came over and went through my closet with me - that process so was so much more liberating and exciting than I expected! From there, Laura helped me rejuvenate my closet with so many pieces and looks that align with the person I am and want the world to see.

    I now have more than 100 looks in my digital closet that were within my budget, and incorporated a lot of pieces I already owned. If you are contemplating hiring a stylist team, I cannot recommend LKS enough. I feel so much more aligned with my clothing, and more importantly - I am excited to get dressed every day again! Thank you Laura and team!”

    - Rose T., COO  |  St. Louis

  • “I wasn't sure how it would feel to invite someone "into my closet" - particularly via remote connection. Laura made it more than just comfortable - her expertise, demeanor and warmth made the experience feel more like a visit with a friend. My closet pare down was invaluable, and I was able to part with years of stockpiled items that had long outlived their usefulness. Further, the outfits we selected and put together for an important industry event made me feel like a million dollars. It made packing (not to mention making fast changes between meetings) a breeze. I'm someone that never gave much thought to my clothing, and so heading into the later years of my adulthood, it seemed like time to start - Laura helped me make that important first step. Not sure how I lived without LKS before, but am so grateful to have her on speed dial moving forward! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

    - Rebecca Alesia, Travel Agent  |  New York

  • “Laura is my incredibly awesome stylist and friend. I’ve never gotten more compliments in my life and have not felt so confident as I did after she worked with me on my closet and some looks! Not only does she work closely with me in curating my style, she also saves the day with fashion related emergencies, taking the stress out of getting dressed for my dynamic life.”

    - Reshma Chamberlin, Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer, Summersalt  |  St. Louis

  • “I contacted Laura to get her professional styling help to update my closet and put together outfits for work and date nights. Laura is amazing. We went through nearly every item in my wardrobe and she was honest about what I should keep and give away, but never made me feel like the clothes I had weren’t usable. Then she asked questions to learn about my preferences, likes/dislikes and put together a couple of great online shopping lists. I chose the things I liked and a few weeks later we had a great try-on session. Laura took pictures of 20+ outfits with new and existing pieces. I’m so happy with the experience and Laura has taught me a lot while building confidence to wear things I wouldn’t have without her coaching.”

    - Lisa Tyree, Chief Human Resources Officer  |  St. Louis

  • “It only took me 5 minutes after meeting Laura to realize I wanted to have a styling/fashion consultation with her. Laura is so darn cute and effervescent. Her knowledge and sense of all things fashion shows as she analyzed my clothes, shoes, and accessories in the closet. She chose some amazing outfits; pairing pieces that look great together (why didn’t I think of those combos?!). Laura makes the whole process so easy and comfortable. She truly values her clients and wants them to enjoy wearing their wardrobe. Love, love, love her!”

    - Ann Gold, Realtor, Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty  |  St. Louis

  • "I had an entirely successful experience with Laura when selecting what to wear for a recent speaking engagement I moderated featuring Jenna and Barbara Bush. Upon preparing, I knew I needed to find the right look that gave me a presence on stage with these two extraordinary women. Laura did just that!

    She spent the morning pulling dresses all while providing helpful insights and tips on dressing for the stage. Needless to say, I felt confident and comfortable in a look that pushed me slightly outside of my comfort zone. I made the right choice in the end and am grateful to Laura and the collaboration with Neiman Marcus for styling me."

    - Stacy Taubman, Founder/CEO + COO  |  Denver

  • “As a new mom that is the public face of my company and also does speaking engagements, I wanted to invest in a capsule wardrobe that I could feel like myself in. Laura was worth every penny. We have crafted looks that adapt to my changing body, and that can be changed based on where I am in the country. I save precious minutes every morning, not blankly staring into my closet. I’ve never had more fun shopping and trying on clothes. Every woman should make this investment in herself and her time.”

    - Samantha Rudolph, Co-Founder and CEO, Babyation (and mom of two!)  |  St. Louis

  • "Laura constructed daily looks for my two-week trip to Italy which helped me plan and pack stress-free and quickly reach for my outfit each morning from a personalized look book. A knack for intuiting my style the moment she walked into my closet, she built complete ensembles based on my itinerary; beachwear, cooking classes, dinners, boating, etc. She pulled from my existing clothing and accessories and paired items I've never thought about before - happy to maximize the things I love! Only minimal purchases were made to fill in as necessary. I fully enjoyed my travels, and thanks to Laura, I didn't have to worry about packing or what to wear which allowed me to focus on my family, the locale and new experiences. I felt chic and like myself every day. I had so much fun working with Laura and highly recommend having her create a travel look book if you want to vacation with complete ease and feel beautiful!"

    - Shereen, Philanthropist & Community Leader  |  St. Louis

  • "Sometimes it is time for a purge and refresh, and that is how I was feeling when I worked with Laura. There was over a decade of spring cleaning needed in my closet and she helped me to both find things that I never wore and restyle them as well as to make a much-needed donation pile. Laura quickly got a sense of my style and sent me links to clothes and shoes that she thought I would like and that would complement things that I already owned. Laura really has a magical eye. Everything that she chose was perfect and felt like me, just elevated. Clothes really can give us energy, make us feel confident and help to create our mood as we engage with the world around us. I am so happy to have worked with Laura on this refresh that has energized me in so many ways!” 

    - Talia, Entrepreneur & Consultant  |  St. Louis

  • "I finally feel like I'm achieving a 'real' closet of clothes for the first time in my life. Laura came into my home, reviewed every single piece in my closet and we ended up removing a lot of items that no longer serve a purpose in my life. Some of these pieces I had never worn! After that, she curated a selection of all the missing elements to begin to fill back into my wardrobe and continues to assist me on a seasonal basis. Welcoming new clothing and accessories that are current and flatter my body.

    I've also come to appreciate the power of a good tailor in working with Laura. I now consult her on new purchases and items that need to be altered to fit perfectly for an intentional wardrobe. She helps me save time, effort and make smart buying choices, not to mention a fully styled look book that I reference on a daily basis with outfits that fit into the different aspects of my life. I get dressed every day knowing what to wear and feeling confident about my choices.”

    - Wendy, Educator & Community Volunteer  |  St. Louis

  • “Working with Laura has been truly life-changing. I was in a rut with my wardrobe - it hadn't grown with me and my career, and I had no idea how to put together outfits that weren't just jeans and a top. The best part about working with Laura was the time she invested to get to know me - my career goals, my life goals, and what made me feel confident and elevated, yet comfortable. She didn't walk in with a blueprint, and instead, she took the time to build a vision of a wardrobe that was right for me. I also loved her process - getting to know me, editing my existing wardrobe, creating outfits I never would have thought to combine, and then curating new key pieces to elevate. It was fun and cathartic - accommodating what I already have, cutting the stuff I needed to just finally get rid of, with a strategic approach to building up the right pieces and outfits. We had a total blast together and I can't wait to work with her again!”

    -Dheerja Kaur, Chief Product Officer  |  San Francisco

  • “Laura has wonderful taste and style. I'm one of those who can easily spot "THE dress", but sometimes needs help in putting the rest of the look together. Laura chose shoes and a bag from my closet (thank you Laura!), but sourced earrings elsewhere, a pair that was perfect, and completed the look in an elevated and interesting way. She is also a lovely person, with a unique "fashion vision" and knowledge of what is "out there." I'd recommend her services to anyone who wants to feel empowered and chic!”

    - Susan Sherman, Founder  |  St. Louis 

  • “Having someone look through my closet and sort through clothing that is practically inert with memories is an entirely intimate experience and Laura came to the task with compassion and focus. After having my second child, I was in a fashion rut - wearing clothing that was more appropriate for "mom" than "boss." Enter Laura. She was able to dig through my closet and style outfits that bridged both worlds: I could still wear machine washable clothing while looking like a professional. She taught me how items should fit on my body and how simple tailoring could make the pieces I already have look more polished. And now I feel confident when I get dressed in the morning to go to work. In other words, this Mama's got a brand new bag.”

    - Alli, Mom & Founder/Entrepreneur  |  NYC

  • "Laura is an incredibly talented and sophisticated stylist. The LKS Styling & Consulting approach is professional, intentional, and uniquely approachable. Through her organized and highly detailed process she completely met my needs to simplify my wardrobe, clarify my style and teach me what styles fit my form the best. After each appointment, I gained confidence in my style and learned to value my assets better. I have never received so many compliments in my outfits or personally felt more confident. Laura has become a trusted friend and someone I look forward to having in my corner for a long time!"

    - Deb A., Strengths Coach  |  Michigan

  • “Love love loved my experience with Laura!! I was on the fence about doing something like this for a long time — it feels like a big investment for something (getting dressed) that is seemingly meant to be simple. But I am SO glad I finally pulled the trigger and worked with Laura. She helped me part with pieces that were just causing clutter and chaos in my wardrobe and helped me feel way more at peace and confident about what I choose to wear every day. It's so worth it. She's completely non-judgmental, kind, and good at what she does. I would recommend Laura to anyone considering styling support. If you're on the fence, just do it! I wish I'd done this years ago now. Thank you, Laura! :)”

    - Miriam Cruz | St. Louis

  • “When I started planning a trip to London this summer, one of the first people I talked to was Laura. I knew I wouldn’t have the faintest idea as to where to start in terms of planning outfits and packing them. Not only did she come to the rescue as usual, but she made it seamless and fun with the online program she has been using. In addition to showing specific pieces she suggested I buy or use from my existing wardrobe,  she also put outfits together for each day, all laid out visually for me to see. While on my trip, all I had to do was pull up the site on my phone, and say to myself ‘What does Laura have me wearing today?’ and I would pull the outfit, accessories, shoes, all of it! She took the guesswork and stress out of planning for this trip. I was able to pack days ahead of my usual. Even my family commented, ‘How are you packed already? You’re usually all over the place the day before a trip!’ My response? ‘Laura!’”

    - Lisa Hall | St. Louis

  • “This should be a 10-star review, but Google only allows 5! I cannot say enough about my experience in working with Laura. She made the closet clean-out process fun and informative, but the real gem is the styling ideas on the app. As a busy professional, the app makes getting ready for work or events so easy and fun. I am saving so much time and getting a style boost at the same time.” 

    - Jenny Dietloff | Omaha

  • “Having Laura's support for my Copenhagen outfits was an absolute game-changer. I honestly don't know how I've ever prepped for a trip without her! Packing was a breeze, and once I was there, I didn't stress for a second about what to wear. I felt so chic in everything we picked out, and the best part? People seemed genuinely surprised when we asked if they spoke English—arguably the highest compliment in Europe! So, thank you, thank you!” 

    - Emilie Smith | St. Louis

  • “I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Laura is to work with. She completely analyzed my entire closet top to bottom, helped shed my things that no longer worked for me, and put together/styled outfits that looked fantastic. I went into this process thinking I had to buy a whole new wardrobe, and she helped me see how so many pieces in my closet already worked beautifully together. She is savvy, stylish, knowledgeable, efficient, and worth her weight in gold. I cannot recommend her enough. I promise you will not be disappointed working with this amazing professional!” 

    - Diana Angelo | St. Louis

  • “Working with Laura Sawyier has been an absolute game-changer for my wardrobe! I wanted to refresh my wardrobe and learn how to put together outfits that felt authentically me. Laura’s Closet Styling Entry Package helped me rediscover my favorite pieces and style them beautifully. She even created a “Closet in the Cloud” for me to keep everything organized and accessible!

    The “Shopping Online” service was a perfect follow-up. Laura curated thoughtful pieces to complement my existing wardrobe and taught me how to dress seasonally—even here in FL, where seasons are...optional. Some of the pieces I purchased have become wardrobe workhorses since the moment I got them.

    Her approach is personalized, encouraging, and SO worth it. I feel more confident, stylish, and ready for anything! I’m excited to continue working with Laura to evolve my style over time. If you’re ready to feel amazing in your clothes, Laura is your go-to!”

    - Cori Godeke | Florida

  • “Working with Laura has been such a wonderful experience. From our very first meeting, she made me feel completely comfortable and understood. She’s incredibly genuine and easy to work with, and she always meets me exactly where I am in my fashion journey. I never feel rushed or overwhelmed; she works at a pace that feels right for me and guides me in a way that’s encouraging, never pushy.

    Laura has a great sense of humor, is smart and efficient, and somehow manages to balance patience with productivity. I love that she listens closely, checks in regularly, and really pays attention to what I like (and what I don’t). She gently nudges me to try new things, but always in a way that feels supportive rather than intimidating.

    I truly appreciate her understanding, her eye for style, and the way she makes the whole process enjoyable. She’s thoughtful, talented, and an absolute pleasure to work with.”

    - Molly M. | Illinois

  • “Other stylists don’t understand my regional style in Denver. Every time I see you, you look so polished – I want that. The caliber of the stylist really matters right now: meeting people where they’re at and learning about their individual needs. You do this so well.”

    - Sloan | Denver

  • “We are heading back from that wedding, and I got so many compliments on my outfit, and also Kate loved her shoes and thinks they are very comfortable. I can’t tell you how big a win this is for me as a person. Maybe you should also wear this as a crown.”

SPEAKING Testimonials

  • “I want my company to hear from a speaker who challenges and improves their thinking. Laura Sawyier does this through her presentations on style and confidence, and she makes them fun, approachable, and practical.

    I loved having Laura speak to Hill Investment Group and feel like we need an ongoing series of LKS talks.”

    - Matt Hall | Co-Founder and Partner, Hill Investment Group

  • “Laura Sawyier led an energizing presentation at a Women's Event at our organization, and from start to finish, she had the room engaged.

    Aside from having a great time, the participants were taught practical ideas that they could incorporate into their everyday lives immediately. Even a week later, I have guests reaching out to me, thanking me for inviting them to the presentation, and asking when the next one will be! Laura had a broad appeal to our audience - we were able to connect with guests that we have hosted before, as well as many new attendees who we’d previously not connected with.

    Laura was easy to work with, detailed and organized, and we had a great time together. If you are looking for someone to speak with your organization, I cannot recommend Laura enough. Looking forward to working with her again!”

    - Rachel Palmesano | VP, Commercial Banking Relationship Manager, Commerce Bank

  • “What Laura teaches lives at the intersection of psychology, persuasion, and performance.”

    - Angie Ackerman | Vice President, Private Banking Relationship Manager, Commerce Trust

  • “Laura's insights and advice on the psychology of style transformed the room during our ACG St. Louis Women's Peer Group event.

    With her signature charisma, she is an engaging speaker and expert on style, confidence, and presence. She gives people a new lease on their self-worth - I loved watching the demeanor and energy change in the room. Her psychology lens and style tips were spot-on, providing us with the info to be intentional with how we show up and maximize our wardrobes.

    Borrowing from the renowned philosopher Dr. Seuss, there is nobody "youer than you!" Laura reminded us last week that style is for EVERYONE, and it is deeply personal. Book her for a keynote or a workshop as you start planning for 2025 and beyond!”

    - Rose Thompson | COO, ButcherJoseph & Co.

  • “I attended a great ACG presentation delivered by Laura K. Sawyier. It was interesting to learn the science behind style and how our choices can even help enhance our work productivity!

    The packed room was filled with local Saint Louis deal makers that all have a wide range of style choices but learned to approach how we dress in a similar streamlined approach to boost energy and confidence. After hearing Laura’s presentation my new style goal is dopamine dressing. Love it!”

    - Stephanie Bennett | Director of Private & Commercial Banking, Missouri, Northern Trust Wealth Management 

  • “ACG St. Louis had the pleasure of inviting Laura to speak at our recent event, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Laura’s expertise in fashion consulting is unparalleled, and her presentation was not only insightful but also engaging.

    Laura has a deep understanding of style, trends, and how to empower individuals through fashion. Her ability to connect with the audience, provide practical advice, and share actionable insights left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. If you are looking for someone who brings creativity, professionalism, and passion to their work, Laura is the perfect choice.

    Thank you, Laura, for your valuable contribution to our event. We look forward to collaborating with you again in the future!”

    - Tracy Montgomery | Chapter Manager at Association for Corporate Growth St. Louis

  • “Laura Sawyier’s presentation at our CREW St. Louis Circles event was insightful, inspiring, and full of practical takeaways.

    She has a compelling way of blending personal development with style, making it both relatable and actionable. One concept that really resonated was the idea of “taking your daily vitamins” – not just supplements, but the habits and mindset shifts that fuel confidence and well-being.

    She also introduced us to “dopamine dressing,” a fun and thoughtful approach to choosing clothes that lift our mood and reflect our personality. And to my relief, she confirmed that skinny jeans are still in!

    Laura left us all feeling empowered to embrace our style with confidence. Thank you, Laura, for such an engaging and impactful experience!”

    - Michelle Biedermann | Director of Business Development, Brinkmann Constructors 

  • “Laura came to our office and gave an amazing presentation about the power of style. Not only was it one of the most well-received events we have ever hosted, but our employees are still asking for more! 

    As someone who is a bit of a science nerd, the educational background Laura gave on why style is important, was both fascinating and eye-opening to me. She so accurately described situations that I unknowingly put myself through on a daily basis and gave some really helpful tips on how to avoid them. 

    Laura was very engaged with the audience, making it feel more like a conversation between friends, rather than another boring lecture. Her presentation had the perfect balance of science, styling tips, and laughter. I really appreciated the time she took to answer individual questions and look forward to hosting Laura again soon!”

    - Rachel Strohm | Director, Product Management Cyber & Intelligence Solutions at Mastercard 

  • “I want to thank Laura for organizing this important event and conversation around circularity in fashion in partnership with Neiman Marcus. This was an opportunity for me to be able to participate as a panelist on behalf of Fashionphile and share our business model and initiatives. Our partnership with Neiman Marcus is one of the best examples of circularity in the ever-changing landscape of luxury e-commerce.

    It was a pleasure working with Laura; she is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and engaging moderator who leads and extends the discussion for an audience through her industry knowledge. She does so intelligently and with approachability, bringing the audience along.

    I can easily keep the conversation going with Laura and highly recommend her for any speaking opportunity that’s right for a diverse audience through moderating, as a panelist, and keynote speaker.”

    - Nora Cummings | Head of Impact, Fashionphile

  • “We put a bow on Perennial with the always impressive Laura K. Sawyier talking about the intersection of style and confidence, and the psychology behind it. Laura is the very epitome of executive presence, and if I’m being honest, I spend more time than I should pondering how I can replicate her virtual meeting presence.

    She brought a whole new spin to our bonus session on how to think about ways to bring your best self and confidence to the table, in your own authentic way. Thank you for the final presentation, Laura!”

    - Megan Belcher | Chief Legal & External Affairs Officer, Scoular

The event was a resounding success—Laura's tips on curating an effective wardrobe that reflects one's authentic self resonated deeply with our attendees.

    Feedback on this event was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting that it was personal, relatable to work, and highly engaging and informative. This was a fun, out-of-the-ordinary topic, and everyone left excited to "shop their closets!”

    Laura is a pleasure to work with. She is approachable, empathetic, and positive, and I would recommend her for any opportunity to share her psychology expertise and passion for style. We can't wait to bring her back for future events and look forward to collaborating with her again!”
