At True Style by Tara Kay, we combine professional expertise with personalized attention to create a fashion consulting experience like no other. With a lifetime of fashion immersion and certifications from Sterling Style Academy and Color Me Beautiful, I specialize in blending the latest trends with custom consultations tailored to your body type, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
True Style has its roots in Beautiful Beginnings, a company founded by my mother and her friend, Mary Frank. My mom, a gifted color analyst, mastered Carol Jackson’s Four Seasons Color Theory, while Aunt Mary Frank, a well-known modeling instructor, focused on clothing "personality" and general fashion consulting. Their mentorship and experience have shaped my approach.
Our consultations are tailored to your unique features and preferences. By analyzing your natural hair color, skin, and eyes, we determine the best color palette for you, what your style preferences are, and ensure you look and feel confident, youthful, and beautiful. At True Style, it’s not just about fashion; it’s about finding your true style.
Your image is a powerful tool. Whether chosen intentionally or not, it shapes how others perceive you. Is your current look conveying the message you want? First impressions are crucial—they can set the tone for all future interactions, and they aren’t easy to change.
When you look good, you feel good. This confidence translates into your actions, making you more effective and respected in your daily life. Your image isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about expressing your true self and commanding the respect you deserve--because you deserve it!
Based on Color Me Beautiful’s 4 Seasons Color Theory, I help you find your season and best colors. I include your custom take home pocket swatches with your season’s color palette.
After evaluating your lifestyle, favorite fashion icons, and your unique body shape, we determine what clothing styles fit your personality and lifestyle goals. I provide you with custom inspiration boards matching your style and coloring.
Together we shop your closet to maximize on the looks you already own that harmonize with your preferred style and coloring and trim down on the items that don’t. We determine where the gaps in your closet are and help ensure you love everything you own.
Once we have your season and style set, I’ll shop stores based on what suits you best and select items that fit your goals. Then you come in, try them on, decide what to buy, and we’re done. I take the stress out of shopping so you can enjoy success.
Hi, I’m Tara Kay Skeen—singer, dancer, traveler, and lifelong fashion enthusiast turned entrepreneur. Fashion has always been a part of my life. I grew up learning the art of color analysis from my mom and helped her teach fashion and etiquette classes. Over the last several years, I traveled extensively through Europe, soaking in the fashion scenes of France, Italy, England, and beyond. From attending fashion shows at Galeries LaFayette to building relationships with local boutique owners, I stayed on top of the latest trends.
I hold two bachelor’s degrees—one in Communications and Ballroom Dance from Brigham Young University, and another in Vocal Performance from Southern Virginia University. My career path took me to Washington, D.C., where I spent several years immersed in the world of government, working on Capitol Hill in both the House and Senate, and later in fundraising. It was here that I honed my understanding of the classic D.C. fashion scene.
After a fast-paced career in politics, I felt the call to make a change. I left my job, spent a few months rediscovering the vibrant fashion landscape of Europe, and launched my own fashion consulting business—True Style.
I believe that happiness starts from within, and how you present yourself to the world plays a big role in that. When you look good, you feel good—and when you feel good, you’re unstoppable. Life is full of transitions, whether you’re stepping into the professional world, reclaiming your identity after motherhood, or climbing the corporate ladder. Your style should evolve with you. Let True Style help you elevate your look and tell your story the way you want it told. *Cue Spotify’s Confidence Boost playlist* Let’s connect!
