Book a Consultation

Initial Consult/ Closet Consult

Prior to shopping, we will meet to discuss your objectives and assess your current wardrobe. Each individual has a self-image that guides their purchasing decisions. I offer an impartial and objective perspective, aiming to help you select attire that enhances your strengths and encourages positive choices. Together, we will evaluate your existing clothing with renewed insight and identify new styles that complement your figure. I will provide clear explanations for any items we choose to set aside, ensuring that each decision supports your overall image.

Preshopping

I search stores and online to curate a selection of top products for you.

Shopping/ Trying on

At this stage, you will become familiar with current fashion trends and styles, allowing you to refine your understanding of available options and, most importantly, identify what suits you best. We are able to tailor selections for various body types and preferences at any price range: we can incorporate both couture and high-end items alongside moderately priced pieces or assemble a fully coordinated wardrobe within a budget while maintaining a polished, contemporary appearance. No minimum purchase required.

About

Style is personal. Confidence is transformative. And settling for “good enough”? You can do better than that.

I believe great style is about more than clothing — it’s about showing up in the world as your best, most authentic self.

My career began at the highest levels of fashion retail and wholesale, where I developed expertise in merchandising, wardrobe planning, and personal style within some of the industry’s most respected luxury brands. At Bergdorf Goodman, I refined my eye for fashion and personal styling while working with distinguished private clients and collaborating with renowned costume designers. I later held senior merchandising and planning roles at iconic brands including Polo Jeans Company/Ralph Lauren, A|X Armani Exchange, and Henri Bendel, where I learned how fashion, fit, quality, and confidence intersect.

For more than 15 years, through You Can Do Better Than That, I’ve helped clients rethink their wardrobes, break free from style ruts, and discover clothing that truly reflects who they are. Whether we’re editing a closet, shopping together, building a signature look, or preparing for a major life or career transition, my goal is always the same: to help you feel confident, polished, and fully yourself.

I understand that getting dressed can feel overwhelming, frustrating, or even discouraging. That’s why I take a thoughtful, personalized approach — meeting you exactly where you are, understanding your lifestyle, body, goals, and comfort level, and creating a wardrobe that actually works for your real life.

Because style should never feel intimidating — it should feel empowering.

And trust me… you can do better than that.

What My Clients are Saying:

Michele Roque was amazing to work with during prom season. It is not always easy to clothes shop with a teenager, and the process is even harder for a gown for prom. I learned this firsthand. Michele was calm, professional and understanding of my daughter’s needs. She knew exactly what would bring out my daughter’s best features. The dresses she pulled in advance all looked so beautiful on my daughter. It was almost impossible to choose. We finally picked one and my daughter looked beautiful. Michele has an eye for fabric, make and design for the most elegant and beautiful dresses and gowns. I highly recommend working with her. You will be very pleased as my daughter and I were!

I’ve worked with Michele Tarazi for nearly a decade, and she has completely transformed the way I approach my wardrobe. From organizing my closet to styling me for special occasions and even packing for vacations, Michele always knows exactly what I need and how to make everything feel effortless. She has an incredible ability to refine my personal style while keeping it authentic to me. Thanks to Michele, I always feel confident—and often like the chicest person in the room.

Michele has helped me to develop my style and build a wardrobe that always gives me something to wear – something that fits, flatters, and feels like me. She has shopped with me for occasions, wardrobe updates, and seasonal changes, and I have never regretted a purchase made with her. She taught me what NOT to buy, to ignore influencers, and to stop buying the same things (over and over and over again). Her special magic is that she shows me how to wear my clothes – how to successfully pull together different pieces and how to integrate new things into my wardrobe. She has impeccable taste, is incredibly talented, and always warm and respectful.
