Chrissie, the subject of the video, is an attorney in New York. She has just come out full time and has just recently had her name change approved. She is a very interesting person and is somewhat a public figure because of some of the work she is involved in.
I think it's great that there are people like this out there but unfortunately image consultants costs really are out of reach for most trans people. It would be great if there were image consultants for the average trans person but they cost money, money most transitioners can't spare.
For me, I spend time shopping at thrift stores, discount stores and closeout stores. You can find some really great bargains if you spend the time going through the racks. For example, I found this dress at TJ Maxx or Ross for only $29.95.
I have found designer clothes at thrift stores that still had the original price tags on them for very little money. Our local Goodwill store will be having their customer appreciation sale offering 50% off there already low prices. It's a great way to experiment with different styles without spending a lot.
