Interesting article! I'm one of those who would pay someone to help me get my act together. It turns out that I don't really like shopping for myself. Don't get me wrong, I love shopping, but I have a terrible time when it comes to shopping for stuff for me. I love buying things for other people, but I have a hard time trying to find just the right things for myself.
In the meantime, I kind of wish that the whole idea would become a little less mystifying/confusing. And further - I also wish that the concept of hiring someone to help you find just the right things (clothing-wise) didn't seem like it's only for people who are going to spend a lot.
I'm just a regular person - but I am terrible at lawn-cutting, so I hire someone to do that. I can't sew to save my life, so I have no qualms about paying for tailoring, sewing, alteration services.
In the meantime, I make pretty decent food (according to those close to me), so I wouldn't hire someone for this. But the thing is? Even if I'm good at some stuff, I'm also terrible at other things, and I am quite happy to pay for those services.
That said though, I have the perception that having a personal stylist/shopper is only for people who are going to spend thousands at a time. That's not me! And yet, having said that - I wish I could find someone who'd help me out just a wee bit, without it meaning that I must be a movie star or have all kinds of money to spend on clothes.
It would be really nice if this whole idea of having a personal stylist/shopper wasn't so intimidating and if it didn't seem like it was only for people who are going to spend a certain amount all at once.
Maybe my perceptions are skewed about this?

I think there is a market for personal stylists/shoppers for 'regular people'.
