“What should I wear to this event?” It’s a question we hear all the time at Gaia. Whether you’re headed to a wedding in wine country, a downtown lecture, a backyard reunion, or a black-tie gala at the art museum, the answer isn’t just about the dress—it’s about you.
That’s where Robbie comes in.
If you’ve ever worked with Robbie, you know the “interview” is coming—wink wink! Don’t worry, it’s casual and fun, but she will ask a lot of questions. Why? Because finding the right outfit is about more than just picking from racks of boutique style clothing. It’s about your mood, the setting, your energy—and making sure the final look reflects your expressive personal style.
The Robbie "Interview"
Robbie’s process starts with a warm and thoughtful conversation that helps her match you with artisan crafted garments that truly work for your event. She’ll ask:
- What’s the event?
-
Where is it? What’s the weather like?
-
Are you flying or driving? Indoors or outdoors?
-
What season is it—and how far away is the date?
Then she’ll dive into what really matters: how do you feel about the event?
Are you thrilled and can’t wait to go? Great—we can get adventurous with one-of-a-kind dresses or maybe explore edgy elegant fashion looks. Or maybe you’re attending out of obligation and just want to feel like yourself (only slightly more polished). That’s when we lean into timeless comfortable clothing—pieces that say, “I showed up,” without shouting.
She’ll also ask:
-
Are you preparing in any way—dieting, planning, or just hoping for a chill day?
-
Are you in the photos, or simply enjoying the moment?
-
Are there color guidelines (especially for weddings)?
-
Are you wearing heels, flats, or going barefoot on the beach?
These questions help her pinpoint not only the look but also the feel you’re going for. At Gaia, we believe clothing should offer women’s luxury comfort wear that adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
Timing Is Everything
If your event is several months out, Robbie may suggest coming back closer to the date. Our boutique rotates seasonally, and we don’t want you falling in love with effortless style garments in cozy wools if your event is in midsummer heat. We’ll help you align your timing with the right materials and high-quality women’s fashion available at that moment.
Try, Don’t Overthink
Once Robbie knows the details, she’ll start pulling options from our curated collections. You won’t be overwhelmed with choices—we aim to offer just enough to inspire without triggering decision fatigue.
Everything you try on is part of our distinctive apparel online and in-store collection—pieces selected for their artistic quality clothing, thoughtful design, and comfort. Whether you’re looking for something minimal or bold, we want you to walk out feeling both elevated and grounded.
We specialize in unique designer clothing that you can wear again—investment fashion pieces that aren’t just trendy but become part of your long-term wardrobe. These are the kind of clothes that make people say, “You look amazing. Where did you get that?”
The Perfect Shoes Exist—And Yes, They’re Comfortable
A beautiful outfit needs the right shoes—and we’re serious about ours. Gaia features a curated footwear collection designed for both elegance and function.
One of our top recommendations for event shoes is Naot. These are not your average comfort shoes. They’re beautifully made from leather, available in metallic or matte finishes, and feel great on your feet whether you’re at a garden wedding or a rooftop dinner. Naots blend perfectly with comfortable chic fashion, and they ship quickly—often arriving within 2–3 days.
Of course, we carry other shoes too, but Naot remains a go-to for that balance of polish and practicality. It’s part of our commitment to offering ethical designer clothing and accessories that never ask you to choose between style and comfort.
Trust Your Stylist
Robbie knows every piece in the store because she handpicked each one. That level of artisan fashion craftsmanshipshows in everything we do. Whether you leave with one killer outfit or a couple of sustainable fashion separates to mix and match, you’ll feel confident in your purchase—and that’s the goal.
We believe in clothing that helps you feel seen. Gaia is here to help you express your unique style for women—not to mold you into a trend. Our job is to guide you toward pieces that help you shine, whatever the event may be.
