STYLE BOOST - EP. 102


We had a unique problem to solve with this episode of Style Boost...Scott is a Seattle businessman who was travelling to L.A. and needed to blend in with the locals...look elegant and put together, but not as businessy as he does in Seattle. I gave him a few 'Sartorial Solutions' and he comes out fabulous beyond reason!
