It is said that two heads are better than one, but three heads are even better. Kathy Stansfield, Lesley Burris, and Ann Adkins are the owners of Geraniums, an upscale women’s fashion store in Charleston, WV. Geraniums has been open for 16 years. Kathy said that she and another person were the original owners of the store, but her partner moved to Florida. Wondering what she was going to do without her partner, something great happened. Two of Kathy’s employees came forward to ask to be owners with her.
Now, the three of them are an unstoppable team.
These women stay up-to-date on the latest fashions and cater to the business woman. Kathy noted, “This is the perfect time to be a business woman. It is all about individuality. The new style is to let your own personality shine. Add to your classic suit, an updated belt, necklaces and large earrings. Wear bold blouses with your suit. You can wear either flats or high heels with today’s executive look.”
The store carries ‘Nancy Yansi Fugel’; a suit line adding edgy designs that you can put with many different type of accessories to obtain a work attire which shows who you really are. Kathy also suggests the ‘Cynthia Steffi’; a beautiful line of suits that are fashion forward. “We have the outfits and accessories that create endless possibilities for the working woman and at all price points,” she emphasized. “We carry suits, jewelry, shoes, boots, coats, and lingerie along with the ‘Ahava’ lotion line. The ‘Pandora’ jewelry line is an exceptional line of charm bracelets. Also, ‘Brighton’ line has jewelry, necklaces, purses, belts, sunglasses, scarves, sweaters, as well as candles and picture frames. All in all, we carry around 50 different company names”.
Kathy encourages women to make their own style. Include the ‘must haves’ of browns and grays this season. But don’t forget the white blouse, gold accessories, camisoles, patent leather shoes, belts, and matching patent leather purses to create a style that is all your own.
The three owners invite working woman to come to the store for their expert advice on dressing for success. The store is located off I-77 at 1011 Bridge Road in Charleston, WV.
