CREATING A MORE MODERN WARDROBE

Many of us have collected items along the way in our closet that don’t fit into our personal style (think passing trends) or no longer serve a purpose in our lifestyle. As fashion shifts and evolves towards a cleaner greener world, we look to a "less is more" solution for our lives and our wardrobes. Imagine walking into your closet and having 100% of the items in your closet being easy to access and wear instead of gravitating towards the same 20%? Start managing your closet from the inside out instead of adding on to the problem and working on it from the outside in. Costly shopping mistakes leave us feeling defeated and like you have a closet packed full of clothes, yet nothing to wear

Getting dressed everyday regardless of your lifestyle does not have to be a challenge. Together, we can edit, curate and manage your closet to create an arsenal of looks that reflect that best you and get you ready for whatever your day holds.

MANAGE YOUR CLOSET INTELIGENTLY

After an initial closet edit and consultation, we will digitally catalog every item in your closet. Have you previously edited out, only to fill back up with what feels like the same mistakes? Whether you are a seasoned shopper and need a sounding board pre purchase or looking for creative inspiration from someone you trust, we can help to put that new purchase into a minimum of three looks (on the spot!) from your own closet or suggest what holes to fill in. Edit seasonally from fully calculated info (what did you REALLY wear?) and create packing lists, calendared looks and more. Manage your closet smarter from the inside out.
