s ome things were easy to say goodbye to, but most needed a try-on and a professional opinion. We sorted items into four areas: keep, sell, donate and tailor. By noon, we had finished the everyday closet and filled a garbage bag with old beauty products. After a short lunch break, it was time to do the same with the dressy closet and drawers of jeans, folded tops and workout clothes. By 5 p.m., we had amassed a giant pile of plastic and hangers from the dry cleaners, a carload of bags filled with items being donated to UMOM, about 20 things that needed tailoring and another 30 pieces headed to the consignment shop. I also had homework before we would meet again in a week for the finishing touches: namely, a list of items from the Container Store, including matching velvet hangers, sweater boxes and clear shelf dividers for handbag organization. Day two was so much fun! Seeing everything rehung on the new hangers, folded into windowed boxes and organized into a new bathroom storage system felt so good. This was also when items were pulled and photographed for my new digital Look Book — a collection of outfits using the pieces that made the edit, mixed and matched in a whole new way. After I had a few weeks to live with my new organized life, I had some time to reflect on the experience and ask a few questions. First, how did my project compare with others? Angela said, “Every project has been completely different. No closet is the same, and no one’s wardrobe needs are the same.” And knowing the team’s diverse professional backgrounds means they know how to approach each case and create an incredible result. I know what you’re thinking next, how much does it cost? “We tailor each project to fit the client’s need and budget,” Angela said. “A proper closet clean-out will pay for itself! Consider the items that are being sent to consignment, the final Look Book, and that your future shopping trips will add items that build your wardrobe, not just buy a one-off item for an event that you will never use again.” Whether big or small, it’s easy to let your closet go awry in today’s busy world. This closet clean-out was just what I needed on so many levels. I love “shopping my closet” now that I know everything fits properly, that I can see my items clearly and pull up my Look Book on my phone for inspiration!
