TESTIMONIALS
I had moved to San Francisco from the Midwest six months prior to meeting Charlotte. I had made several attempts to update and expand my wardrobe for the West Coast during that time, but always becameoverwhelmed, inevitably heading home empty-handed. After one afternoon with Charlotte, I came home confidently with a range of clothing items, each of which I was ecstatic about. She made clothing shopping fun - something I though was impossible.
A large part of what made the experience enjoyable was Charlotte's ability to pick up on my style and what I would feel comfortable wearing. After a few questions about what I typically wear, she scouted around the clothing stores collecting items - some of which I probably never would have noticed or thought to pick up myself. This was fantastic as after just a few minutes in the large store, I was already going into 'shut down' mode.
As I tried clothing on, Charlotte helped open my eyes up to some new ideas for my style, but never pushed me too far out of my comfort zone. One item I had been looking specifically was a pair or two of 'skinny jeans' (a style I had never owned before), and she was extremely knowledgable in guiding me towards the right fit for my body. I was able to feel I was evolving my style forward in a way that wouldn't make me feel self conscious at the same time. She pointed out why certain jeans were better for my body, leading to confidence in the pairs we ended up with.
As we made our way through several stores, Charlotte also showed me how I could find a piece of clothing in one store which was not quite right for some reason (color, cut, price), and use that as a reference when browsing a different store. This was something I had never done before and was blown away by how effective a technique it was. We were able to find great purchases which mimicked the positive aspects of earlier pieces I had tried on, but without the negatives which had prevented purchase. Knowing that I had used other items as a reference made me feel great in my final purchases, including those where I circled back to the original item.
Months later, rarely a day goes by where I am not wearing at least one item from our shopping experience together. I practically live in the pairs of pants we found. Even though during the process Charlotte taught me many methods to improve shopping on my own, I would still rather shop with her as my guide. She has an amazing energy, great eye for personal style, and just makes me feel good about myself when I am with her.

Very insightful and refreshing! Charlotte took her time and carefully reviewed items I already had, then put together great combinations from my own closet. She helped me identify what items would make sense to get and fill the gaps. She really opened my eyes in terms of putting things together I would not have thought could work. She took me shopping and was very patient and introduced me to some new brands. What I specifically appreciated that she was very conscientious about not just going for the super expensive items. The whole experience changed the way I approach my once clogged up closet, now with more space, more key items and a lot of things to combine. She definitely takes your personal style into consideration and provides insight into her obvious deep knowledge and love for fashion. She has a great eye, great approach and I would highly recommend her services! With Charlotte you are in good hands.

I have been working with Char the Re-Stylist for several years. As a traveling executive my wardrobe always needs to be up to par as well as multi-dimensional and Char has continually been able to provide this without a problem. She keeps a positive attitude and understands how your wardrobe is apart of your personality. Having her work within my closet was at first scary but ended up being a great success. She knew how to edit the pieces worth keeping, outfit them in many different ways and then show me how to throw away the pieces that were just taking up space. Chars eye for style and love for what she does will make her successful for every client she works with and will keep me coming back for more.
I empathetically recommend Char for employment, she has a "get things done" attitude few posess and never lets a client down, her word is her body.

My shopping experience with Charlotte was definitely well worth it. Being color blind and recently divorced, I was happy that I had someone to tell me weather or not my rear end looked right while shopping for my first pair of designer jeans. She was very professional and stayed within my budget. After all the compliments I have received when wearing one of the outfits she put together, I know that our afternoon was time and money well spent.

Charlotte is an amazing people person with natural ability to detect a person's individual style. She picks out pieces in a store that I would choose for myself. Charlotte understands what trends are current, and what trends will be next. Her natural instincts are a true gift in the style world.Additionally, Charlotte's warm personality makes her a joy to be around.

In regards to Charlotte, I have worked with her both professionally at my old consulting company (Bluewolf) and personally for styling purposes (for myself and several friends). Charlotte is an incredibly perceptive and passionate person and these traits come through in her work. At Bluewolf she challenged her team to transform their process to better serve both the company and the client. The same can be said when working with her as a stylist. Charlotte is excellent at knowing what will work for an individual and how to encourage that person to stretch his or her style while staying comfortable.
Since meeting Charlotte (and nervously letting her go through my closet), I have had 3 of the best dressed moments of my life. Her knack for finding pieces that expand your style while still making you feel comfortable and fabulous combined with her honesty (and warmth in delivering honest opinions) make working with her enjoyable and challenging. Both my day-to-day and special occasion wardrobes have benefited immensely from her help and her advice during our outings has made me feel more equipped when shopping on my own.
