Introduction

I offer wardrobe consulting and closet organization. I'm a woman over 50 who has always had an innate sense of style and can provide you with a thirty year perspective of how style, fit and fashion trends can fit into your changing lifestyle and figure. As well, I have an uncanny knack for channeling your style and lifestyle. Not imposing my style on you, but understanding your lifestyle. The end result of how simple style changes make a huge difference in one's appearance. And an organized closet is an element to achieving that goal. Clients seem to radiate when all of the sudden they see the ideal image of themselves in the mirror. And for me that is a great feeling.

Wardrobe Consulting

I have worked with Carrie three times, for two fall and a spring wardrobe updates. I obviously adore her or I wouldn't have gone back for two more rounds. She is very down to earth, I say this because I had a preconceived idea that she may not be as warm and fun as she is, even though I felt assured from our phone conversation that she was very knowledgeable and sweet. It was clear that she understood my lifestyle or "got me" after the closet visit. Because the first store we shopped, she found most of what was on the list for me, derived from our closet consultation. On my list were pants, always difficult for me, she told me she felt they would have the best fit for my shape. And she was right! She made sure that what we purchased, all had more than one piece to go with it or went with something I owned. She imparted me with much knowledge on fabric quality among many other tips. And there is a lot more I could say.... I would definitely recommend Carrie, especially if you feel you may be a bit intimidated working with a stylist. Nancy Germain

I highly recommended Carrie, as she exceeded my expectations. When I reached out to her, I wasn't sure if she could work with me. I say this because I'm 65 and not interested in shopping at Bergdorfs. Yet desire an in style, fresh looking appearance. I am a Manhattanite and very involved with the arts, culture happenings and dining out. So my dilemma was, I couldn't find clothing because my interest in shopping has diminished over the years. And I'm now unsure of where to find hip clothing that is flattering for my changing/aging shape. Most valuable to me was the insight she gave on how cuts of clothing, pant especially, have changed in recent years and not be afraid of slimmer cut pants. I appear younger and many friend thought I lost weight, but it was my new pants! She showed me new style trends and reassured me certain trends would be idea for me. As well as, introduced me to stores that were a great all around fit for my shape, budget and lifestyle. Carol Stockhammer Retired AdvertisingSales New York City

Working with Carrie was a godsend. After a very helpful wardrobe consultation, I scheduled some follow-up shopping with Carrie. My main goal was to overhaul my work wardrobe, integrating some pieces I already had and adding a few more casual pieces. The shopping trip exceeded my expectations in every way. I have avoided stores in the past few years and done most of my shopping on line, so I especially appreciated how convenient and even pleasant Carrie made the whole experience. She picked several stores within a few blocks of each other in a quieter part of the city than other retail zones. When I arrived at the first store Carrie was already there and had set up a dressing room with a selection of items in a versatile core palette. While at first it was a little awkward trying on clothes with someone whom I didnt know well, Carries professional, friendly approach quickly put me at ease. She helped determine what my size and some good shapes and cuts for me, and showed me how different items could be combined in different ways. She took into account my own style that she had learned from the wardrobe audit while guiding me to a toward a more updated look that, while still age appropriate, is flattering and even makes me look younger. I ended up going home with a complete Spring/Summer wardrobe of affordable, combinable clothes. It still makes me happy to open my closet knowing I definitely have something to wear, whatever the occasion. I wholeheartedly recommend Carrie, even or even especially to someone like me who has never experienced the help of a personal stylist. It is a great experience and well worth the investment. I will definitely shop again with Carrie.

My time spent with Carrie has made such an impact recently in my life. I can't thank her enough. I have noticed that people interact with me differently. I have found this to be true in areas related to my profession, but even walking on the street I notice people looking at me. I used to have a creative style, but seemed to have lost my edge or style for some time now. Didn't care to go shopping as I couldn't find clothing that fit my changing shape and lifestyle. After our phone conversation, I felt confident she understood me. And in person, she exceeded that first impression, as she was kind and personable and not judgmental, while looking through my closet and undressing. She pretty much went through my whole closet. Having me try on pieces that I wasn't sure about and then explained what works about it or doesn't. She didn't tell me to get rid of anything but told me her thoughts and then left the decision to me. As I was trying things on she was hanging items up and organizing them in a manner to make it easier for me to coordinate and remember the outfits she put together. Prior to our shopping day, Carrie pre-shop stores to see what store would have the best and most selection for what I needed. The day we met, she had a dressing room of clothes. I liked what I saw, color and textures, wearable clothes that looked like my style. All selected items had something to go with something else. Creating outfits in the dressing room. It was a very successful four hours, which I found several pairs of pants, skirts and tops. I met Carrie another day to find style statement pieces, as she calls them. Items you can wear daily, jackets, shoes and basic accessories. That meeting was fun as there was no trying on clothes. I learned a lot about different stores and brands where you can find great style and quality shoes and bags. I highly recommend Carrie!
