About me

IMG_9087_edited.jpg

Hi, I’m Michelle Matera, personal stylist and founder of Story Worthy Styles, helping women use style as a powerful tool for self-expression, confidence, and connection.

I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, and busy women navigating full lives who want clarity around what works, how to wear what they already own, and how to build a wardrobe that truly supports how they show up.

Style isn’t just about looking polished. It’s about feeling comfortable, confident, expressive, and empowered in your own skin — every single day.

The Story Worthy Experience

Every outfit tells a story. Yours deserves to be intentional, powerful, and unforgettable.

Styling is more than what you wear;  it’s how you show up in the world.

My approach blends intuitive insight with professional expertise to curate looks that feel intentional, elevated, and entirely your own. From everyday essentials to milestone moments, I help you rediscover the confidence that comes from dressing with purpose.

This is about more than chasing trends.

It’s about creating a style that reflects who you are and the woman you are becoming,  one that evolves with your life, your energy, and your vision.

Whether you’re redefining your signature look, stepping into a new season, or ready to love your wardrobe again, every experience is designed to help you show up feeling confident, grounded, and fully yourself, with ease, authenticity, and intention.

It's not just about the clothes – it's about

the stories they tell

Misty

"I really was looking to create my brand; it was super important to me. I really wanted to update my wardrobe, find clothes that fit like me, looked like me, that made me feel empowered, the way I wanted to make other people feel. Michelle not only came to my house and went through my closet, but also found me beautiful, curated pieces that not only feel like me but fit me perfectly."

Elizabeth

"Performing is when I feel most like myself - but finding the time to get “gig ready” when you have 3 kids under 5 is hard. That’s why I appreciate Michelle so much - she helps me elevate myself to match every gig opportunity I get. Not having to worry about what I will wear and spend time shopping is priceless. It helps me focus on my children but also to focus on myself and my craft. Michelle is a gem!"

"Michelle has a gift! A stylish beauty herself, she effortlessly blends style, occasion, and my own brand and personality to create looks I love and feel confident and comfortable wearing. Her ability to find and select pieces that fit the look I am going for is remarkable. I appreciate her attention to detail from head to toe, which makes me feel ready to rock any event!"
