Years of accumulation to a closet that reflects her fun, vibrant and happy personality!
What Patricia was struggling with
Patricia hadn't given her closet a good clear-out in what seemed like forever. She felt a bit embarrassed about the sheer volume of clothes she'd accumulated over the past 20 years. All of those clothes from decades past hanging out in her closet, overshadowed everything else, including the clothes she did like wearing. It was a secret mess she kept hidden away. But the daily dread of opening that closet had gotten old.
Adding to her motivation, Patricia had embarked on a weight loss journey and realized it was time to rethink not only what she put in her body but also what she put on it. That dreaded closet had to be conquered!

How we transformed her closet
We teamed up for a Style Edit rescue mission!
We began with an exercise to rediscover her true style, anchoring her in her present self and what she loves now. This exercise revealed that some pieces that once served her well no longer had a place in her life. It was a cathartic cleansing that allowed her to let go of the strong emotional attachments that had kept her closet stuck in the past.
This is what a good, cathartic cleansing looks like!
The transformation
The transformation was remarkable. Patricia's newfound clarity emerged as she shed styles from the past, keeping only what she adored wearing now. She has a fun, happy, vibrant personality that shows up in her clothes through fun patterns and details - something she had never realized before!
We reorganized everything to suit Patricia's lifestyle and daily choices, making her feel like she had a brand-new closet.
In a delightful twist, Patricia's beautifully organized side of the closet inspired her husband to follow suit, and together they decluttered and organized every nook and cranny, giving their entire closet a stunning makeover.
Several months down the line, Patricia proudly shared that her clothes were still as organized as the day we left. Success!

Patricia’s experience in her own words:
“I was very nervous having Rachel come to my house and go through my closet. I save everything and had no idea what was actually in my closet because there was so much stuff in it.
After discussing my style with Rachel, we went upstairs and and she didn't judge my closet. She helped me feel comfortable by asking if I love the piece of clothing and if I had hesitation it was put in a ‘maybe’ pile to come back to at the end.
It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I felt lighter after we were finished! Rachel is the best!”
