Out With the Old, In With the NEW! (in your closet)

It’s a New Year…. Yay! I don’t know about you, but I am ready for a fresh start. Why not start with your closet?! Did you know that the average person only wears 30% of what they own? Wow, right? That means 70% of what most of us have is just taking up space. This is where I can be of service. This is the perfect time for a closet consultation! I will show you how/why you should wear some of that “70%” that you haven’t.

First things first, eliminating items that do not work for you; getting rid of the not so flattering, the out of date or the items that simply don’t fit. Now it’s time to get down to business showing you how to maximize all the pieces that are left. This is done by putting together more outfits than you thought you had by mixing & matching in ways you have not thought of before. In one client’s closet I was able to provide her with 29 new outfits from her existing wardrobe (29 outfits even at $50 per outfit is $1,450 in savings)! I will also note holes in your wardrobe (ie: pieces you are missing.) That way, whether you take the next step and let me help you find great new items, or whether you are shopping alone, you will have a little guidance.

So what would you need to do to prepare for a consult?

1- Before arrival lay out as much of your apparel, shoes & accessories as possible. Place them in “like” piles. For example, all of your long sleeve woven’s together, all of your cardigans together, etc. (not “I like these pieces” piles)

2- When I arrive I will peruse your piles. You’ll try on some of the items. Then we will go over why they work, or don’t work. You’ll show me how you normally wear some of the pieces & then I will show you more combinations to make the most of your wardrobe. This client didn’t know she could rock white jeans in the fall and purchased this shirt but never wore it before.

3- We will take some pictures of your new outfits so you can access them at a glance. I have clients that have made a photo album of the different options and one client printed all the pics and taped them up in her closet.

4- We are done and you now you have more space in your closet while also having more outfits to wear. It IS possible!

The only thing left to do is enjoy your purge & know you are utilizing everything you own. That would be nice, wouldn’t it? If you are ready to Put Your Best Look Forward, I am ready to get you on the right track.
