Power of Clothes




Those that know me, know that I am not your stereotypical fashionista. I try very hard to be authentic and genuine and honest in my profession.


But I do love fashion and I love the way clothes can make you feel.

I love how clothes can transform people’s perception of you, but even better how clothes can transform your own perception of yourself!

Ones whole being is tied up with the self image you have of yourself. The mental picture you carry in your head of who you are. The picture is usually clothed, how you choose to clothe the person in that picture says a lot about how you truly see yourself. A fairly simple way to improve yourself image is to simply dress yourself up!

Enjoy clothes; feel the power of a wonderful outfit, of fabulous garments and enjoy yourself in those clothes. Once you can embrace this improved self image you’ll be surprised at how quickly others embrace your new image as well and their perception of you will also alter.

5 steps to Creating a more organized closet.





One of the biggest New Year resolutions is getting more organized.
Why not start with your closet?
Here are 5 easy steps to help make it happen!

1. Start simple: Get everything out of your closet that is not directly related to your clothes. If it is not a garment or an accessory it belongs somewhere else.
2. Pull everything out that you have not worn in the past year. Set these aside to assess later. The more room in your closet the easier it will be to see everything and the easier it will be to organize.
3. Everything that you decide to keep should go on uniform hangers. If your closet has limited space use tiered hangers for pants and skirts to save space, but if you have the space, make sure everything is on its own hanger. (Even if two things go together, like a sweater set or a cami and sheer blouse, keep them on separate hangers that can hang off each other so they don’t get separated.)
4. Divide your closet by sections; each section is a different level of dress. The specifics will depend on your lifestyle on what most of your clothes are for. If you have distinct work clothes and distinct weekend clothes then those are two sections in your closet. If you work out a lot that may also be a section.
5. Each section should be then organized by color, type of garment or outfits; again, how you choose to do this depends on what makes the most sense to you.
