MY PHILOSOPHY
Hey there! I’m Candace, and I know what it’s like to have a full closet but feel like there’s nothing you want to wear. I know what it feels like to want/need to look your absolute best and just not be sure of how to do it. I understand that sometimes it can be hard to find pieces that you love AND that fit your body properly. I know how it feels to see looks/pieces you love on others, but not know how to execute them so they suit you. I understand that you’re busy. I can understand that you just don’t enjoy shopping and it’s just not how you want to spend your free time (what little of it you do have). I understand budget restraints, time restrictions, and I understand that while I love personal style, other people have other interests and other ways they’d want to spend their time and energy. I get it. If your wardrobe isn’t serving you, why waste your time, energy and money trying to figure it out when you have an expert (me) at your disposal? You shouldn’t. If you’re not sure exactly where you need help, you can book a Free 30 Minute Consult with me HERE and we can talk it out.
Listen, the most important thing to remember is this: FASHION AND STYLE ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Fashion is all about the world and the times/trends telling us how we should look. Style, is about the individual, their preferences, who they are, and the messages they want to send the world. Fashion can be intimidating, broad while still very specific (ie; confusing), and sometimes just absurd. Style, however, is for everyone. Style is all about the individual person, and that’s it. I will tell you this; I don’t care who wore what where; you will NEVER see me in a “crop-top” and “bike shorts” because while that may be in “fashion” those pieces have nothing to do with me, who I am as a person, or anything I want to the world to know about me. Do you see the difference between fashion and style yet? One is about the world, the other is all about you. If you can keep that concept front and center (with my help) it makes the entire process a whole lot simpler.
IF YOU’VE EVER FELT…
stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, bored, frustrated, confused, uninspired or any variation of these words because of your wardrobe, shopping, or style in general, you’re in the right place. As a speaker and personal stylist, I teach about personal style, why it matters to your ultimate success (it really does), and how to develop and nurture your own personal style. While the style process involves feeling and mindset, that’s not all it’s about. You can’t just “think positive style thoughts” and be on your way. I give practical day-to-day tips on how to shop, how to outfit, how to edit and a whole lot more.
It’s important to me that my clients understand a couple things: their style really does matter to their ultimate success and that style does not have to be this big, complicated, overwhelming thing. I teach people how to look and feel their very best and to find their confidence all while making sure they are communicating who they really are. I do this by teaching about style. I will know I’ve been successful with a client when they walk away with a knowledge and understanding of how to put themselves together every day. The most important piece of any of my services or processes is that my clients LEARN. Once you’ve worked with me, you will have an understanding of who you are stylistically, your preferences, your body type, what suits you, what doesn’t, and how to move forward in building the wardrobe of your dreams; a wardrobe that serves you.

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Candace is amazing! She asks the right questions, listens, evaluates your situation and brings solutions. Ask her for my cell and I'm more than happy to tell you about my experience. If you walk in your closet and say, "I have nothing to wear", call Candace.” - Sarah (Wardrobe Refresh)
“I scheduled time with Candace to do closet editing. I expected this experience to be very overwhelming, given that I've been accumulating clothes for almost 15 years and felt guilty giving away stuff that had been hardly worn. I was pleasantly surprised with how EFFICIENT Candace was. She gave me suggestions on what would look good with what and gave advice on what's flattering and what's not for my body shape. 2 hours later my closet was transformed from dysfunctional to functional. It was a fun, easy, and enlightening experience.” - Mary (Closet Edit)
“I hired Candace for her Wardrobe Refresh. The closet edit portion was an eye-opening experience--discovering that nearly 50% of wardrobe was ill-fitting, out of date or worn out. Shopping was an absolute delight. Candace pre-shopped for me and made the outing efficient. I learned what is best for my body type and lifestyle. Lastly, our Closet Edit session was by far my favorite. She was able to talk me through why certain pieces go well together vs others. We put pieces together I otherwise would have never thought of.” - Marina (Wardrobe Refresh)
