Summary
Curious about what it’s really like to have a personal David Kibbe styling experience? In this detailed review, JJ shares her first-hand journey through the exclusive and transformative David Kibbe style consultation in New York City. If you’re searching for honest insights on the Kibbe body typing system, color analysis, and personal styling, this summary covers everything you need to know from a female perspective.

What to Expect from a David Kibbe Experience
She describes the anticipation and excitement leading up to her appointment, including the initial contact, the high price tag (nearly $6,000 excluding clothes and extras), and her motivation for investing in this unique style journey.

Day 1: Body Typing & Color Analysis
On the first day, she meets David Kibbe and Suzanne, both described as radiant and inspiring. The session starts with a guided meditation, followed by a detailed explanation of the Kibbe system. Using her photos and in-person assessment, David Kibbe determines her body type as "Theatrical Romantic." The color analysis surprises her, revealing she is a "Summer" rather than the "Winter" she always believed herself to be. This revelation makes shopping and thrifting much easier for her, as she now knows exactly which colors flatter her most.

Day 2: Personal Shopping with Kibbe
The second day involves a personalized shopping trip at a New York department store outlet. She is presented with a curated rack of outfits chosen for her body type and coloring. While some outfits delight her, others feel outside her comfort zone, especially due to differences in fabric preferences (she prefers natural fibers, while most options are polyester). She notes the process feels a bit rushed and sometimes impersonal, but still enjoys the “princess treatment” and the excitement of trying new styles.

Day 3: Accessories & Final Thoughts
On the final day, she opts for an accessory-focused session, with Suzanne selecting earrings to complement her new looks. This part feels more relaxed and uplifting. She appreciates the attention to detail and the transformative power of the right accessories.

Seven Months Later: Was It Worth It?
Reflecting months after the experience, she acknowledges that while she learned a lot about color and silhouette, not all purchased pieces fit her personal style or values (such as sustainability and fabric choice). She encourages others to take what resonates from such experiences and adapt it to their own tastes, rather than relying solely on a stylist’s vision.

Key Takeaways for Women Considering the Kibbe Experience
The David Kibbe experience is exclusive, expensive, and can be both inspiring and challenging.

Personal color and body type analysis can be life-changing for wardrobe choices.

Not every recommended style will suit your personal taste or ethical preferences.

The experience is empowering, but true style comes from blending expert advice with your own personality and values.

In summary: She is grateful for the opportunity and would have regretted missing it, but believes women can build their best style by combining expert insights with their own journey of self-discovery.
