Closet Edit

Just imagine having a closet filled with ONLY the clothes that make you feel fabulous, happy,hip, cool, giddy, and fill you with energy. Imagine the power you take into each day when you feel that way at the start?

Organizing a closet like that is not a small thing, in terms of how it can impact your life.A Closet Edit is an affordable luxury and the foundation to great style. Having a Closet Edit will also save you time because you’ll know exactly what to wear and where to find it. We begin by discussing your wardrobe goals, lifestyle needs, and your desired personal style. Focusing on one category at a time, we examine each piece of clothing to determine if it works with your needs and goals. Based on this, we decide what you should keep and what can be donated. Of course, the final decision is yours. After we’ve gone through your wardrobe, we organize the closet so you know what you have and how to put an outfit together—easily and quickly.

A Closet Edit takes 2-3 hours although, depending on your wardrobe, it can take up to 6 hours.
The purpose of a Closet Edit is to figure out how to maximize the wardrobe you already have. It doesn’t matter how unorganized or unclean your closet is. The goal is to make your closet function positively for you.When the Closet Edit is complete, you will have an organized closet you can be proud of.

If you already have a style that you are happy with, I can give you ideas on how to make your wardrobe more versatile. We will never try to lead you to a style you would be unhappy with.

Sometimes we hold on to clothes because we are stuck in a style routine, not so much because the pieces are favorite items. If this is the case, or you are not sure, we can talk about it, and you may decide to donate them. The choice is ultimately yours.

Certain clothes are true favorites for a reason. I,m not here to change that, but to help you feel and look your best. You might fall in love with those favorites all over again with a fresh look at how you can wear them!Many people think having a personal stylist or a personal shopper is a luxury they can’t afford. Any budget can afford the services of a personal stylist or personal shopper.

When you work with me, you are gaining invaluable knowledge to save you money and time for the rest of your life. You are learning something, not simply having a style transformation.




Clear out all the stuff that is getting in the way of you looking and feeling your very best right now (no, not 5 kgs from now) and get rid of it. All of it.

Your closet is where you start each day. It's where you get your first sense of who you are presenting to the world, and who you are presenting to yourself.You simply can't be your best if you don't feel great about what you are wearing. It's like having a bad hair day, and you know what that feels like (we ALL do).


Most closets have about 10-20% of clothes and accessories that you actually wear, and the rest sits in there gathering dust and taking up space.And keeping all the rest of the stuff that you're not using creates the illusion that you have a full wardrobe that will take you anywhere you need to go, even when it isn't true.

In a nutshell:



1. Take out everything that doesn't fit the body you have right at this moment. You're not wearing that stuff right now anyway, so it doesn't belong in your closet.
(And you'll never, ever, ever convince me that it's motivating to have smaller clothes in your closet to keep you on your diet. Those too-small clothes just make you feel bad.)

2. Next take out everything that is worn out, out of style, you never liked anyway, and that doesn't flatter you. You deserve to have every single thing in your closet delight you. If you're wondering how to tell if your clothes have passed their expiration date, maybe it's time for a review of your clothes wardrobe and a stylist is especially good at this.



3. Look at what's left.
What?
You only have five things left in there?
Good. Now you know what you have actually been wearing (even when you spend 15 minutes in the morning trying to decide what to wear). And imagine how easy it will be to keep five things organized.

Please don’t be embarrassed. The purpose of a Closet Edit is to figure out how to maximize the wardrobe you already have. It doesn’t matter how unorganized or unclean your closet is. The goal is to make your closet function positively for you.When the Closet Edit is complete, you will have an organized closet you can be proud of.

A Closet Edit gives you a fresh perspective of what you already have. It can be as uplifting and refreshing as splurging on a new wardrobe. It would be great if everyone could go on one of those makeover shows that gives you Ksh50,000 for a new wardrobe. But most of us have to wear what we currently have and slowly update and add to our wardrobe.

You don't need to rush out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new wardrobe.

Often clients will buy a piece each month, and I can even do the shopping for you! You don't have to go all out when you do start buying - a few accessories will dress up any outfit.

So if I've peaked your interest with the above do look at the services I'm offering for the different closet edits and do get back to me or suggest the same to a friend who you think may need a closet edit
