Chic Happens

StyleChic

The way some salespeople look at you, you’d think being on their turf somehow magically transformed your outfit into a halter/mini/thigh-high boot ensemble a la Vivian Ward.

So spend a day with Aly Scott and learn the tricks of the VIP shopping trade. The former star stylist’s new company, StyleChic, offers customized packages to get your wardrobe into shape with lots of special treatment along the way.

If you’re on a budget, have Scott scour your closet, tell you what’s pas de rigueur, and prescribe a few quick fixes. Or, if you’ve got serious bucks to drop, take a chauffeured tour of the city’s most buzzed-about high-end and hidden vintage boutiques, where you’ll be greeted with champagne and set up in secret dressing rooms.

When you shop with Scott, she’ll work her contacts, use her discounts (between 10 and 30 percent at stores ranging from Nanette Lepore to Bird), and send you home with a bag of fancy schwag.

All that, plus you’ll walk away knowing that, from here on out, shop girls will understand that snubbing you would be a, well …

Big mistake. Huge.
