story
Assisting Women Through Fashion and Faith
–
We believe every woman deserves to feel confident and have the tools to express her own personal style. We are BeYOUtiful Image Consulting, and we specialize in color and body shape analyses, clothing fittings, and wardrobe makeovers to help women curate the closet that works the best for their bodies and personalities. During wardrobe consultations and makeovers, we often helped women identify and discard clothing that was stylish and barely worn, but simply didn’t fit their style.
In 2023, we came up with an idea to give these clothes a new purpose and make a difference in our West Michigan community at the same time. We started Redeemed Style Shop & Mobile Boutique by BeYOUtiful, connecting with organizations that help women in need or in danger. With our traveling boutique, we can offer a wide selection of high-quality clothing and outfits for women who might not otherwise have access. Our goal is to encourage all women to be confident in who they are and to know that God will meet them where they are.

Why Fashion Matters
Life’s challenges can take a toll on our self-esteem, leaving us feeling unsure and disconnected from ourselves. During these critical moments of transition, a boost of confidence can make all the difference.
That’s where fashion comes in–it’s not just about the clothes, but about helping you feel like you. When you dress in clothing that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable, it has the ability to uplift your spirit and inspire you to embrace the potential of the future.
01
What It Means to Be Redeemed
To be redeemed means to be freed from whatever distresses or harms, to be transformed and made new. At Redeemed Style Shop & Mobile Boutique, we believe that God has the power to redeem from any circumstances. Whatever your situation, God will meet you where you are and take you where you need to be.
02
Why Access Matters
Unfortunately, many women who are in the process of overcoming difficult circumstances may not always have access to clothing that fits their body, budget, and style.
This may be due to financial constraints, transportation or mobility issues, limited local options, and many other factors. Whatever the circumstances, we want our mobile boutique to fill that gap in access.
