Personalized Shopping On-line

As more and more women live busy lives, shopping on-line has been a convenient way find the perfect wardrobe additions. For 20 years I have been selling Carlisle through trunk shows in the Pasadena area. Unfortunately not everyone could come in person during the specific dates of the showing, or because they lived too far away, or they were simply too busy at the time of the show. Now any woman in the USA at any time of the day or week can shop with Carlisle and Per Se via the on-line site. I still offer personalized advise as needed via email or phone. If the client is someone I do not know, I have them fill out a profile with information about their life style needs, figure type, coloring, and preferences. They can even send me a head shot and full length photo of themselves to help me visually.

What is your color contrast level?

Most women know about seasonal colors or at least which colors look best on them. Have you ever considered what contrast level in a print works best for you? The model on the left has a medium contrast between her hair color and complexion. The dress is also medium contrast: beige and brown. This is one of the reasons this dress looks great on this model, the contrast levels agree. If the dress was black and white (the ultimate in high contrast), then someone with dark hair and a fair complexion would look especially striking because the again the contrast levels agree.

Contrast level is one of the items I note on my client's profile. It's a subtle element. Sometimes though a certain garment color and the styling of a garment will trump contrast level when making a purchase decision. Just become aware of your personal contrast level. Look at the prints in your closet. Are they low, medium or high contrast? Which do you feel best in?

Carlisle Collection

Carlisle Trunk Show

in Pasadena, California

What is a trunk show?

This is a personalized relaxed way to shop. Women come to my home by appointment to view the Collection during a showing and then place their order. The clothes arrive anywhere from the following week to several weeks later depending on the cut dates.

What is the advantage of shopping this way?

The representative is not under any pressure to sell you what is in their inventory, since they only have samples. Instead they want to sell you what works best for your figure type, coloring and life style needs.

Who is a typical Carlisle client?

My ladies fall into two categories. My professional women have limited time to shop, yet need to look their polished best. Some wear traditional attire and others business casual. My socially active women appreciate the quality of the garments that are fashion forward yet tasteful.

Would my Carlisle Trunk Shows work for you?

Ideally you should be between size 0-18. You would probably want to live within a reasonable distance from Pasadena. You most likely are used to spending around $500 plus for a designer jacket and $300 for pants and skirts.
