Never Just About The Dress

It is not how much or how little you have in your closet.  It is about how you feel wearing what you own.  Everything in your closet should make you feel good.  From your lounge wear and run around town uniform, to your work wardrobe and your feel like a million bucks party outfit, everything should make you feel confident, attractive and happy.  If not, it's time to evaluate the why's. 

When you really look at the clothes in your closet and identify those things that make you smile there are themes that develop.  Colors, patterns and cuts that you gravitate toward become apparent. Often times those themes are reinforced by compliments you have received when wearing that outfit. Your shopping pals can influence your buying by steering you toward the familiar.  Yet when you look in your closet you still find nothing to wear that inspires you.  That is because it is Never Just About The Dress.  It is how you feel that matters!

We are always changing and in a perfect closet our clothes should change with us.  But change is hard - emotional baggage looks a lot like the interior of our closet!  We love the memories our clothes carry.  The big ticket items are hard to part with.  Who doesn't love a bargain.  The goal is to crystalize the look that makes you happy now and build on that.  With a little tailoring those special pieces can become new again.  Accessories can update and elevate your go to uniform.  The content of your closet can become your new happy place.
