About me
I’m Sara Dahlquist
Soooooo….
I’m a fifty year old Portland local who loves a good fedora, lives with style and authenticity and helping people feel their highest potential brings me greatest joy.
I’m a mom to two teenage boys you’d actually like and a wife to my favorite fly fishing partner of twenty plus years.
I love the river just as much as cocktails with friends and I always look good doing either.
Passion is what drives me and love is what fuels me.

How I got started
How I got started
Whew…ok, it’s been a journey!
Whew…ok, it’s been a journey!
I acquired a degree in Fashion Merchandising at OSU and went straight to Nike where I worked in Promo for a number of years.
After realizing the corporate world didn’t suit me, I turned my passion and talent into a business and called it DahlStyle.
Since then I’ve spent the last twenty years helping my clients feel their most stylish and confident whether it’s in their closet or home. It wasn’t luck, though I know I’m damn lucky to do what I love.

The aftermath of purging left me inspired, eager, and seen. Not to mention the fact that I found out I have many good pieces, and even learned how to style them. I'd call that a success!

I was struggling to find a few outfits for upcoming graduation events so I set up time with Sara. First thing I put on ... winner. The next one ... winner. Then the 3rd ... you guessed it. Banged it out in an hour. Sara knows what works for her clients. Time and again when I put my trust in her I’m never disappointed.

I had a professional photo shoot coming up and contacted Sara for help. In less than an hour Sara had filled a dressing room with options to choose from. I marvel at how Sara intuitively knows how to dress bodies of all ages, types and styles and gets right to it with great results! I felt like a million bucks in the clothes she selected for me. The photographer even complimented me on my "fabulous sense of style" and the colors & clothes I wore for my pictures. Sara is THAT good.

Sara is the best. Based on an all-over-the-place pinterest board and a quick conversation Sara immediately understood the style I was yearning for. She picked silhouettes and shapes that flattered me and pushed me just enough in terms of print and color. And she is super efficient. We were in and out in about 2 hours. And while this is an investment, I feel confident it will save me money in the long run as in the future I will not spend on things that do not fit and flatter me.

Sara has the ability to take your style to the next level. If you ask her to, she will take you out of your comfort zone and show you what is possible. I wanted her to and she knocked it out of the park! She continues to inspire my own personal style on a daily basis.

While trying to easy into my 50’s with style, Sara really opened my eyes to what my style is. She asked questions, listened, and dialed into what will work for me. During the closet clean out she explained why I would put on these things I owned but I would never wear them out of the house! It all made sense. She also gave me the tools I need to be successful in the future. Shopping was fun and I can’t believe the amazing outfits she created! I feel like myself, only better. Andrea 2.0

We can all agree 2020 and the virus changed our lives. I gained weight, lived a more casual lifestyle and tried to shop on line for the first time. No luck. I couldn't wait to book with Sara. Soon I'll have a new wardrobe that addresses my needs. I can't wait to see what my new lifestyle of casual clothing will look like. I just know I'll look great because Sara listens and cares deeply about her clients.
Dana V
Sara is a tremendous gift. She is delightfully positive with her feedback and I always leave feeling like a million bucks! If and when I shop on my own, I usually am unhappy with my purchases shortly there after.When I shop with Sara, the experience takes a fraction of the time, the items I purchased last far longer than those I purchase on my own and Sara uses her phenomenally keen memory to help me match new purchases with past purchases. I highly recommend her.

Sara is some kind of superhero with style the likes of which is incredibly rare. I've been working with her for a few years now, and she has never once led me astray. This amazing woman is able to walk into a store filled with a jumble of garments and somehow pull items for me that I never even would have thought about trying, and the result is ALWAYS pure magic. She is a true talent and worth every single cent.
Ally
I will start by saying that I have always hated to shop for clothes...until Sara came along. Because she is so positive and authentic, she makes the experience so much FUN! I had a closet full of clothes I had collected over the years but I could never find anything I wanted to wear. She is a magician because she can help you see yourself in a new way while still honoring your opinions and preferences. i love all the beautiful clothes that are now in my closet that coordinate so amazingly!!
Kathy K
Sara is such an incredible stylist and wonderful human being! When I was gifted this experience I didn’t know just how much it was going to mean to me. Motherhood changed my body and I started to feel frumpy and lost when it came to clothes! But Sara has helped me turn that all around and I feel so confident and beautiful again!!! I am so excited to rock all of my amazing new looks!!! And look forward to being a long time client! 😊
Janet H
Sarah is fun, energetic and positive. She made the overwhelming seem doable and enjoyable. I cannot believe how much we got done during our time together. Highly recommend!
Janet H
Sara is beyond fabulous! The real deal – kind, knowledgeable, authentic, patient, fun. I'm still early in my fashion learning curve and she took all the time and care I could've asked for. I'm super excited to keep working with her!
