We had the good fortune of connecting with Aliya Baggia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aliya, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?

Attire by Aliya LLC, stemmed from observing the genuine struggles that people around me faced such as the daily stress and time commitment involved in choosing an outfit, the challenges of maintaining a stylish yet modest appearance, having a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear and finding time for a wardrobe update.

I always believed that ones attire has a direct correlation to their self-confidence. I observed that due to busy schedules, people often don’t have the time to curate outfits that reflect their unique style and personality. This lack of attention to attire can significantly impact one’s self-confidence, which is why I saw an opportunity to step in and make a difference.

I recognized that people sometimes attribute their dissatisfaction with clothing to their body shape and size, when in reality, it often comes down to wearing the right colors and styles that truly complement them. I wanted to empower individuals to embrace their bodies and express themselves confidently through their wardrobe choices. I wanted to be the go to solution offering assistance in creating outfits tailored to individuals lifestyle and personality. A time saving alternative for those with busy schedules!

My thought process behind starting Attire by Aliya LLC was not only to offer personalized fashion services such as personal shopping, closet edits, and outfit styling but also to instill a sense of empowerment and self-assurance in my clients. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and fashion plays a pivotal role in achieving that.

Combining my passion for dressing up with a commitment to promoting self-confidence, I took off on this entrepreneurial journey with excitement and determination!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

It’s truly been a whirlwind balancing a full-time corporate role with growing Attire by Aliya LLC, maintaining personal relationships, and traveling! Despite the challenges, I’ve embraced the slow and steady approach to building my fashion styling business.

Fuelled by passion and determination, I take pride in the transformative impact I’ve had on my clients’ lives. Whether it’s saving them precious time with personal shopping trips or curating cute vacation outfits that fit the vibe they’re going for or helping them clean out their closet, every moment has been deeply rewarding.

In this entrepreneurial journey, I’ve learned invaluable lessons. Foremost, believing in oneself is paramount; self-doubt only hinders progress. Taking it one day at a time and embracing small victories has been my mantra. Not everyone may understand or support your journey, but surrounding yourself with those who do is essential.

Moreover, failure isn’t a setback but a stepping stone to success. I’ve learned to take calculated risks fearlessly, knowing that growth lies beyond comfort zones.

 Attire by Aliya LLC isn’t just a fashion styling service; it is a platform for self-expression, empowerment, and confidence-building. Through my brand’s social media presence and beyond, I aim to inspire individuals to embrace their uniqueness and harness the power of fashion to boost their self-confidence by providing my followers with style tips and tricks to elevate their style and confidence.

My story is one of passion, purpose, and dedication to helping others look and feel their best. I want to spark a movement where self-confidence radiates from within!
