The weather cools off, the leaves start falling and I love the cozy feeling it all brings. If you start planning and getting your house organized now then you can have more time to enjoy the holidays.
Some ways to get ready for Fall:
-Swap out your closet and bring out your Fall and Winter pieces. Don’t forget to do a shoe swap as well!
Fall is all about layering in North Carolina so remember there are lots of pieces in your wardrobe that can be worn year round. Once you add those third pieces like cardigans and jackets then your wardrobe can be more versatile.
-De clutter to be ready for entertaining and guests.
Don’t stress at the last minute when you are hosting a party or having family come visit. Doing some reorganizing and creating household systems will make your house much easier to maintain.
-Add some cozy accents and accessories to make your house more calm and inviting.
Think throw pillows, blankets,cozy bedding, candles and twinkle lights. All these accents can make such a difference in how your home feels.
-Create some go to outfits for Fall and Winter by shopping your closet.
Once you take inventory of what you have creating new outfits by shopping your closet is part of the fun. This will also help you make an intentional shopping list for any pieces you may be missing.
Do you look at your home and wardrobe and think… something is missing? You just can’t put your finger on it.
I truly believe the key to elevating your style is to add accessories. Sometimes a space in your home needs a refresh but you don’t want to do a complete remodel. You CAN redesign and refresh your space on a budget by accessorizing.
You can completely change the look and vibe of a room by changing out the accessories.
Accessories add color, texture, pattern, depth and so much more.
For your home… Think throw pillows, curtains, rugs, decor, books, art, lighting, candles, plants and flowers.
For your wardrobe.. shop your closet and mix up your looks with jewelry, scarves, shoes, handbags, third layers and hats.
Questions to ask yourself when it comes to interior styling or creating outfits:
Are you not sure how to define your personal style?
Do you know what you like when you see it but have no idea how to put it together?
Do you struggle with how to combine colors and patterns?
-The ultimate goal is for you to love your wardrobe and wear everything in your closet.
-Do you want to clean out your closet once and for all and get rid of what no longer feels like you? But you feel guilty about your past shopping mistakes and overwhelmed about where to start?
-Sometimes clients don’t know why they aren’t wearing an item. Is it the fit? The style? The color or pattern? Or is it just a matter of creating the right outfit with it?
-Shopping your closet can be so much fun. I love helping women create new outfits using what they already have.
– I like to think outside the box and create interesting color combinations and add accessories to complete the look. The idea is to embrace your current style and have fun with it!
-And yes sometimes an item just doesn’t work. But this is the easiest way to know you gave it one last styling attempt and it’s time to let it go.
-Shopping your closet saves you time, money and frustration. When you do need to add some pieces to your wardrobe you can create a VERY intentional shopping list.
Have you shopped your closet lately? Are you bored with your wardrobe? Are you constantly running out shopping to buy something new?
How is your closet feeling this Spring? Are you constantly wearing the same few outfits? Are you frustrated with your wardrobe? Tired of trying on things that don’t fit or don’t feel like you?
This is why I LOVE closet edits! A good closet clean out can provide so much clarity and save you time, money and frustration. Once you get rid of everything that isn’t working then you will feel so much better! When the seasons change it is the perfect time to evaluate what you actually wear. The seasonal swap is a great time to take inventory and you can make an intentional shopping list based on what you truly need. Then when Summer rolls around your closet is organized and your wardrobe is refreshed! Just in time for those summer vacations.
This photo shows a closet of “styled” outfits I have put together for my busy client. We know all of it fits and looks great on her. The whole outfit is ready, complete with jewelry! It’s an easy grab and go. No more last minute clothes crisis before work, your next event or a last minute trip!
I like to shop your closet and mix different colors, pieces and accessories so that you never get bored with your wardrobe. There are so may great staple pieces that can be styled a million different ways. Once you have the staple pieces you need then it makes getting dressed so much easier. The staple pieces in your closet are the building blocks to an outfit and the accessories and third layers are the icing on the cake.
How would you feel if you could open your closet and have an outfit ready for any occasion?
Let’s dive into your closet! I’m ready when you are.
Are you bored with your current wardrobe? Shop your closet first and get creative with styling different color combinations. Thinking outside the box can give you so many more outfit combinations.

I am here to help and make style fun again!
You don’t need to go out shopping! You can shop your closet and create new looks with what you already have! I helped my friend create this outfit within minutes of looking in her closet. And once we added the necklace that was the icing on the cake. She said she would have never thought of putting these colors together. Sometimes you just need to see your closet in a new way and be creative! This is why I love helping women with their closets… there are endless possibilities already in your existing wardrobe.
In the past few years I have really embraced shopping secondhand. There are so many advantages.. more environmentally friendly, saves you money, lets you try multiple brands all in one place!
When you go shopping, making a list is super helpful so that you don’t get overwhelmed and buy a bunch of stuff you don’t need. You can search by brand, color or item. This makes it easier to narrow down the options.
I found these 3 pieces the other day and am super excited to style them in so many different ways!
Secret Closet in Hillsborough,NC is one of my favorite consignment stores to shop!
