From Stuck To Promoted & Empowered: One C&C Client’s Style Transformation

For one Calvert & Co. Styling client, her style journey became an essential part of her career transformation, helping her evolve from feeling overlooked to stepping into a leadership role within her organization.

Here’s the exact breakdown of the styling services that took my client, a higher ed marketing team member with a digital marketing side hustle, from aspiring leader to the boss of her organization—all while embodying her most authentic self.⁣


Starting Point: Ready for Change, Unsure Where to Begin

Her starting point? Struggling with feeling overlooked at work and not knowing how to style herself to stand out. She felt vibrant and aligned when she dressed for her side hustle, a colorfully branded digital marketing firm, but years of old clothes, weight loss, and a habit for impulse buying at discount stores like TJMAXX and Marshall’s had cluttered up her closet and her mind.

We began working together with a vision: to help her create a memorable signature style that would represent who she is inside, outside AND support her professional goals. Whether she was at her full-time, meeting with private clients, or speaking at her local co-working space.

A year after we worked together, her boss retired early and she stepped into their leadership role, being recognized for the powerhouse she is.


The Styling Journey: A Breakdown of Our Services

🔹 Elevate & Thrive Package (Winter 2022): We started by resetting her wardrobe in winter. We focused on defining her style, curating a new wardrobe that fit her goals and body, and giving her the confidence to show up in spaces where she wanted to be seen as a leader.


🔹 Elevate & Thrive Part II (Spring/Summer 2022): When summer hit, we refreshed her warm-weather wardrobe, filling the gaps with clothes that weren’t in season during our first session and introducing lighter fabrics and colorways. We also created new outfit combinations and more advanced styling techniques. 


🔹 Seasonal Shopping & Styling (Winter 2023): After her promotion, we elevated her wardrobe even further, editing out even more old clothes and incorporating more personality-driven items. She was stepping into her identity as a boss and community leader. Our goal? To refine her professional style into something uniquely hers, built to last.⁣

🔹Special Event Styling (Ongoing): With her new position came new events where she was highly visible like fundraisers and galas! As time has gone on, we’ve continued to make sure she represents herself and her brand in unique and memorable ways!


The Results: From stuck to leading with confidence

Developed Her Signature Style: She now expresses herself without chasing fleeting trends, embracing a style that incorporates all facets of her unique personality.

Shifted to Mindful Shopping: No more impulse buys. She’s learned to make purposeful investments, focusing on pieces that align with her long-term wardrobe strategy.

Mastered Mixing & Matching: With fewer pieces, she creates more looks, empowering her to get dressed easily.

Her journey shows just how transformative style can be. From feeling invisible to becoming a recognized leader, she’s now known for the powerhouse she truly is.
