Getting more respect
through the way you dress case study
» Georgia Petranoff
» Police Detective
» Crime Scene Investigator
The challenge

Georgia had worn traditional navy blue police uniforms throughout most of her career. However, more recently she has been required to present information in court and needed to dress in civilian attire. She felt it was necessary to polish up her image, because she wanted to be respected when she was in the courtroom, but instead she felt she was not even being noticed .

Hear from Georgia

"Not having had to be concerned about fashion or style in my profession, I felt somewhat intimidated about meeting with an image consultant, but Leah was so comfortable and enjoyable to work with that I felt completely at ease. I learned so much about color and style, as well as receiving make-up and hair ideas, that I was easily able to achieve the professional presence I was hoping for.”

“Because of Leah’s services, I feel much more poised and confident. I’ve also noticed that when I dress up, people treat me more respectfully, including friends, co-workers, and salespeople. They look me in the eye more and I hold their attention better when I'm speaking. In fact, my police captain now asks for my opinion, which he never did before! Apparently, dressing seriously has resulted in people taking me more seriously."

Refining your look for better rapport case study

The challenge

Mark was not making the best clothing choices when considering his body type; he’s a tall man! Subconsciously, people perceived him as unapproachable - not good when you’re the President of a Networking Company.

With some refining of his wardrobe, Leah taught him how to work with what he had and made some suggestions so that he was presenting himself in a much more positive and approachable, yet confident manner.

Hear from Mark

“When I first hired Leah, she sat me down and we went through the process of finding out what ‘my colors’ were. Uneducated in such matters I was unimpressed. Then I decided to buy a shirt with my colors and started getting MANY compliments.”

“Next, Leah and I went shopping. What an awesome experience for a man. I didn’t have to do any of the finding of clothes, I just did the trying on and Leah actually made shopping, something I normally hate, into a fun and exciting experience.”

“Every time I go out into public with the clothes she selected I get compliments. This did not happen when I dressed myself. Do yourself a favor and use Leah”s service – and then wait for the praise!”

Orchestrating a wardrobe case study

The challenge

Through the years, Anne had often thought of consulting an image professional. Although she had a closet full of beautiful, expensive clothes and received many compliments on her appearance, she was still uncertain about her style and felt that something was missing.

Hear from Anne

“After working with you, it was very clear to me why I had not been able to orchestrate on my own the look I had always wanted. Your services provided me with the big picture I needed to get the look that was really me and a wardrobe that worked for my personal style.”

“The results I have experienced go beyond just looking at individual colors and style. I now understand how to put my look together. I no longer need to wander aimlessly in stores, waste time shopping, return items that just hang around in my closet, or doubt that what I’m wearing is suitable. Whenever I refer to your recommendations, I feel completely confident when I walk out the door.”

“You are definitely an expert at what you do!”

“Leah Oman is a genius. For years, I did the best I could to dress professionally. Unfortunately, my best was drab, conservative and boring.

Leah helped me understand how to choose clothing that is both flattering and congruent with the professional image I want to project.

I really do look smarter!”

Angela Libby Jankousky

“It's been my privilege to watch Leah Oman in action!

I've observed other stylists and none are as efficient or intuitive about design, color and style as Leah.

She accomplishes in an hour what would take most of us a week--and she does it while keeping each client's individual taste, needs and budget in mind.

It's no wonder her experience and expertise are sought after and valued by her clients.

Nobody nails it like Leah. She's a pro!”

“The value of your services was so high that I’m embarrassed I questioned it.

You prepared me to embark on a scary adventure in my life that I didn’t even know I was headed for, but because of your assistance, I was ready.

I would recommend your services every day because you are worth it!”

Stacie Nowak

“I'd absolutely recommend your services! My favorite outfits are your recommendations, and (they are) a departure from my past purchases!”

“I want to thank you so very, very much for your time and fantastic advice last week while I was in Colorado. Shopping with you was the highlight of my time there. You really are an artist.”

“Leah Oman and The Smarter Image are terrific!

After a series of promotions, I need to look like an executive, but not like a stuffed shirt. I also attend a number of social events where I need a well-put-together look that isn’t necessarily business-like.

Leah took the challenge, worked her magic, and I get all the compliments.”

Christopher Price, COO

“It seems like I have more clothes now even though I really have fewer. And, I can’t believe how many people approach me since I’ve stopped wearing black and started wearing my warmer colors.”
