"Dress gives you the opportunity to express yourself – who you are, who you think you are, or who you want to be."
Iris Apfel

"I LOVE my new color palette! I had my colors done twice by another consultant and they never felt right. Stephanie explained the entire analysis process and I could quickly see why certain colors worked and others didn’t. And, the wardrobe review was eye-opening. The best part was her keen eye for quickly pulling together items that looked stunning, and that I never thought of combining before."
C. W., Presentation Skills Trainer

"I love my pared-down wardrobe and am so relieved to have donated clothing that no longer fits ,isn’t my style, or that I was holding onto for purely sentimental reasons. A breath of fresh air!"
N.C., Management Consultant

"As I focused on my health and began to lose weight, I realized I was still wearing my “old” clothes. Stephanie’s approach was sensitive and supportive, focused on the healthy steps I was taking and further building my self-esteem. It was freeing to give away clothing that was two sizes too big – and this action further supported my health and weight loss goals."
S. S., Business Analyst

Color and Wardrobe Analysis

Do you feel joyful when you look in your closet?
How often do you say, “I have nothing to wear” – and primarily wear only a few items you own?
Are you buying or wearing clothing that “hides” due to low self-esteem?
Do you stare at your closet, wondering how to put items together or accessorize in new ways?

Start making clothing purchases based on your optimal colors – your own timeless color palette. And, feel confident buying and wearing the things that make you feel fabulous, enhance your self-esteem, and create the visual image you want to project!

An Essential Colors™ color analysis and wardrobe review identifies your optimal colors, fashion style(s) based on seven distinct styles, and Fashion Feng Shui energy. This system contains 16 palettes, making it one of the most comprehensive and customized of all color analysis systems available.

In 2012, I launched a new approach and workshop, Style and Self-Esteem. Combining my color training and coaching experience, I work with women to address emotional barriers to dressing your best. Dove’s initiative, Real Beauty, Real Women addresses self-esteem issues that many women face. Watch it here.

What is the impact of color?

A lot has been written about the psychology of color. The Essential Colors™ system integrates a seasonal color approach with Feng Shui concepts – the energetic properties of colors, patterns, and fabrics that impact our mood and mindset, and communicate our energy.

Feel like you’ve come home to yourself.

What’s the value of a wardrobe review?

Ever hear of “cost per wear?” The art print t-shirt I impulsively purchased, reduced from $42.00 to $22.99: Not a bargain and not a good match with my color palette! Worn once – cost per wear $22.99. The grey linen jacket priced at $84.00 – an exact match to my Essential Colors™ palette and aligned with my style – worn at least 10 times each of two summers. . . a cost per wear of $4.20.

After completing a questionnaire to identify your style preferences and image goals, we dive into your closet to:

Categorize what you (1) love and wear; (2) love and don’t wear; (3) don’t love, yet wear; and, (4) neither love nor wear – and why!
Determine what fits – style, image, and size
Declutter by deciding what no longer works for you (and can be consigned or donated)
Create outfits and easy mix-and-match pieces
Accessorize with jewelry and/or scarves for style and color enhancement

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to stop wearing colors I like?
No! Everyone can wear nearly every color. Your color analysis identifies the shades that are right for you. Ultimately you retain the choice of which colors to wear. Although the fun and awareness of discovering your Essential Colors™ palette inspires most everyone to exclusively or primarily wear the colors that most flatter them.

Will I have to spend lots of $$ on a new wardrobe?
It’s your choice what to keep, what to give away, and what you might want to purchase. Your palette of ~40 fabric swatches makes it easy to color-match what’s in your wardrobe and items you’re considering for purchase. And, if you have clothing in colors outside of your optimal palette that you love, I’ll show you how to use accessories to attain alignment with your best colors.

What do I get and how much does it cost?
Your one-hour appointment includes the analysis process, color consultation on two jackets/shirts/tops, your personal color palette of fabric swatches, and a carrying case – all for $150.00. Wardrobe reviews and styling are $100.00 for the first hour, and $75.00 for each additional hour. Travel costs may be additional, depending on your location.
