How a Personal Stylist Can Help Keep Your Closet Decluttered and Organized
Your cluttered closet has nothing to do with your laziness and everything to do with what’s going on behind the scenes.
Do you believe me?
Whether you’re convinced or not, read on to learn the most common reasons I see closets get out of control—and how working with a personal stylist can help you turn it around.
Shopping but never decluttering
Most of us love the thrill of a new outfit—the top that was on sale, the dress bought for that wedding, or the cute pair of jeans that “might” fit someday.
The problem isn’t necessarily buying new things. But, if we constantly bring stuff in without anything coming out—the closet is bound to get overstuffed!
A stylist helps you create your wardrobe intentionally. Instead of impulse buys, you build a collection of clothes that mix, match, and work for your lifestyle. Ultimately this means less clutter and more outfits you will actually wear.
Fluctuating Sizes & Outdated Clothes
Keeping multiple sizes “just in case,” eats up closet space fast. The clothes you actually wear end up piled on a chair or the floor because there’s no room left to put them away.
During a closet edit, we focus on what fits and feels good today. I help you create an organized system so your current favorites are front and center. The rest can live in storage.
Your Organizing System Doesn’t Match Your Style
I believe everyone has a certain way that makes sense for them to organize. We are not all the same, and shouldn’t organize the same either! Some people are visual—they need to see their clothes, otherwise they forget they exist. Other people prefer everything hidden away, and folded too. If your current system doesn’t match how your brain works, it’s no wonder it’s hard to stay organized!
As both a professional organizer and stylist in Cache Valley, I help set up systems that fit my clients natural habits. This might mean open shelving instead of drawers, tossing leggings into a bin instead of folding them, or a rotating seasonal closet.
“Someday” or Seasonal Items
Closets often double as emotional storage: a dress that reminds you of a special event, jeans that fit perfectly (in college), or pieces that belonged to someone you love. I want you to know it is completely normal to attach meaning to clothes, but when too much of your space is tied up in the past, you aren’t enjoying the present!
Working with a personal stylist helps you honor what’s special and let go of what’s just taking up space. You can keep memories but also make room for clothes that support your life and body right now.
Decision Fatigue
When all of the items in your closet feel mismatched, getting dressed becomes another decision in a long day of decisions.
A personal styling session takes away that mental load. I teach you what colors, shapes, and combinations flatter you best. Then I help you build ready-to-go outfit formulas so you can get dressed quickly and confidently.
