The New Day Cleveland crew recently tagged along with me at a client’s house to learn how I help highly visible women make sense of their closet.

I shared my unique styling process that helps them save time, money, and stress while also putting their best image forward- sounds pretty great right?

Closet Cleanse

This is where I first start with my clients so we can weed out the pieces they no longer need and build back up from a strong foundation. This means the pieces they no longer love, are worn and torn, don’t fit, or simply aren’t their style are bagged up and donated (or trashed if necessary.)

Afterwards, I reorganize their closet so it’s Pinterest perfect and so much easier to manage.

A few tips I shared are:

1. A clean closet leads to a clean mind and less decision fatigue aka less stress when getting dressed.
2. I suggest organizing your clothes in like sections (i.e. work, casual, date night) and then those sections by sleeve type (i.e. sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve) and then those sections by the color of the rainbow (starting with red and ending with black and white.)
3. And remember: it’s good to be picky! You CAN have a closet that is only filled with pieces you LOVE.

Mixing + Matching

Once a Closet Cleanse is complete I then move on to inventorying the client’s items so we always know what we have and can create outfits around them…. this is truly the fun part!

Imagine if: when you had to get dressed, all you had to do was unlock your phone, head to an app, and determine which occasion you’re getting dressed for or which item you want to wear today. Once you do that, a multitude of stylist approved looks appear and you just choose what you want to wear. Check that off your to do list for today!

Personal Shopping

Whether you’re local here to Cleveland or live elsewhere, our final step is building your closet back up by shopping for what you need. By doing the mixing + matching process first, this task becomes so much easier and efficient because I now only know what you have and how many outfits those pieces will make but I’ve also now learned what pieces you need to maximize your wardrobe and create enough outfits to leave you satisfied with your wardrobe. No more wearing the same outfit over and over again. No more getting dressed and feeling like you’re missing a piece to cap off your look. And no more overshopping or buying a piece you already have (when you like something you like something! But you definitely don’t need 5 black and white striped sweaters)

As your personal shopper, I’m able to review the shopping list and the Style Profile (which details your specific style, colors, and patterns) I created you to determine which brands and pieces are the ones you truly need. From there we start filling your closet back in and mixing + matching your new pieces so you know just what to wear.
