The Closet Edit: A Stylist's Guide to Declutter a Wardrobe

Here are some phrases I hear all the time: "I can't find anything in my closet," "My closet is a mess," "I have so many things that I never wear," "I feel like I need a fresh start."

Do Any of These Apply to You?

I can help. It is a terrible thing to start every day feeling overwhelmed. If your closet is the cause of this, it is an easy fix. I want looking in your closet to bring you peace and joy first thing in the morning.

The Closet Edit Process

Editing your wardrobe is something I love to do. It is the best place for us to start. We weed out what is not serving your life:

• Why are you hanging on to a shirt with stains that will not come out? Because you had fun in it once? We will replace it.
• Are there sad old gym clothes that need to go?
• How about anything you have not worn in at least 2 years?

I have rules about this, and I do not believe in waste.

What Happens to Unwanted Items?

I will edit your closet either in-person or virtually. We will sell any quality items that can be sold. What cannot be sold will be donated. I have charities that I work with regularly. Very few things must be disposed of.

No-Brainer Tips For A Closet That Works

• Remove dry cleaning bags: Do you remove your dry cleaning bags as soon as you bring things home? You must.
• Fold properly: Do you know how to fold your jeans? Your t-shirts? I will show you. It will create room and decrease wrinkles.
• Put laundry away: Do you put your laundry away or let it pile up in your closet? Let's talk.

Create Your Dream Closet

You want your closet to look like something out of Architectural Digest (I secretly covet the Kardashians' closets - do not judge me!). I do have a little OCD. It will benefit you.

While this is not what I do directly, I have partnerships with amazing closet organizing companies who will come in and make your closet look like heaven once I am finished.

Less in Your Closet, More to Wear

One of my favorite clients said, "I love it! Less in my closet but more to wear!"

Everything should have a purpose. Almost everything should be worn across your wardrobe, not just for one occasion. Decluttering is the key - getting rid of everything that does not make your life easier and more beautiful.
