Karen Goodsell and Maria Teixeira, the dynamic duo behind Chic Revelations, met through mutual friends at church in 2020. Karen began to inquire about Maria’s business and shadowed her at different “pop-up shops”. They enjoyed doing things together as it became evident they had similar aspirations and dreams. Their friendship blossomed as they attended benefits and galas together, realizing they had complementary skills: Karen in marketing and social media, and Maria in fashion and numbers.
Their journey took a significant turn after a successful event at Janet Leiber’s Gracious Living at Home Store, where they were encouraged to consider a brick-and-mortar location on Main Street. Following much contemplation, and prayer, they found the perfect spot. Both women left behind corporate careers to pursue their dreams, fueled by a shared dedication to empowering women through style and community.
Chic Revelations isn't just a boutique—it's a safe space for women to connect, share, and support each other. Their commitment extends beyond fashion, actively engaging to support women, their businesses, families, organizations, and churches. With faith as their guiding force, Karen and Maria strive to make every shopping experience successful, fun, and empowering. Their story exemplifies the power of friendship, faith, and pursuing one's passions, creating a beacon of style and community. "Every day, Chic Revelations offers us the chance to craft new chapters, enriching our journey with gratitude, community, and a passion for empowering women through style."
