Shelves are an opportunity to showcase your favorite items, think curio vs the kitchen catch all drawer. Which is more pleasing? If you feel like your shelves are too stuffed and there isn’t enough room to create clean displays then you might want to think about storing out of season items away. Reclaim precious closet real estate by storing seasonal items in the attic or basement, protected in bins and garment bags, or simply purging items you haven’t worn in a year or more. Stylistically your outfit is already half made since you have preassembled the accessories. From there you can just hold up a garment and see if it works well together. Hope these tips help to create a space you love to live in.

These clutches are resting on their sides so they stand nicely. Here you can just see the “spines” of the clutches so you get a nice sampling of the color, texture and patterns creating a special moment here. To solidify this area as an intentional destination and not a drop zone I used two book ends that weren’t being utilized in the house. A little greenery with some easy to care for succulents and it feels like a treat every time you walk by or check one out for the night. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1587576099684-P5JBJT87Y66QKUNWN109/25C043E5-B49B-406E-ADC1-8C317A362EE6_1_201_a.jpeg Blog - Merchandise your Closet In smaller closets you need to be more efficient with space. Using the backs of doors to store shoes or create hanging stations are two common options. In this closet installing two inexpensive command hooks creates a destination for full outfits. Pulling looks out ahead of time and saving them on the hanging stations will save time and take the stress out of figuring out what to wear last minute. Another great way to use the hanging station is to pull items out of the closet that haven’t been worn in a while and place them front and center on the hooks. If the look is right in your line of site and you still don’t end up wearing it after a week then it’s time to say goodbye. https://www.sweatpantsandstilettos.us/blog/g4typyj9j2afw8jr2z14qtd3xigeh7 monthly 0.5 2023-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/9606ba2a-c229-4a4a-941d-688f1e54ccd1/IMG_6297.jpg Blog - S&S X WYWC - Make it stand out Pair a fuller pant leg with p0inty, almond, or open toed shoes.

A little about me… I live south of Boston with my husband of 9 years and our two young boys. We both grew up in the North East and love the changing seasons (lots of opportunities for wardrobe changes), seasonal sports (especially hockey), our community and the numerous parks and reservations for family hikes and fishing. My favorite hobbies are working out (cycling, swimming, running and lifting weights), gardening (despite being allergic to poison ivy ), photography and learning to play guitar, which has been a lifelong goal. My style right now is feminine with an edge. I love color blocking and mixing prints, and have to wear earrings when I leave the house or I feel unfinished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1586993459821-BQ41RU5QECSKC4NLGJIO/ABCB2EB8-1ACD-4438-BD38-06E079442C09_1_201_a.jpg About - Professional Experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1588006197496-P03XXNYMWEU4GSV0TC84/websitevertical9.jpg About - Psychology of Style We evolve throughout our lives and so should our style. We change physically and our bodies do amazing things like have kids! The demands of our lifestyles change, such as working from home, going back to a formal work setting or chasing around after kids. Our tastes progress and what we liked 15 years ago may not reflect who we are right now, and that’s OK! This progression is a healthy and natural part of life. Too often we hold ourselves hostage to a size or a garment purchased decades ago that no longer fits or reflects who we are today. A closet organization and or styling session is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and discover who you are in this present moment. It gives us the chance to let go of the baggage holding us back and start fresh. Whether we like it or not, we project our message out into the world every day. So why not dress for right now and make sure that message is the best version of you both inside and out. https://www.sweatpantsandstilettos.us/home daily 1.0 2022-01-25 https://www.sweatpantsandstilettos.us/comingsoon daily 0.75 2020-03-09 https://www.sweatpantsandstilettos.us/contact daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://www.sweatpantsandstilettos.us/testimonials daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1588282597991-FB0KD4T6TSWUH7U56QSD/wesbite1.jpg Testimonials "I’ve always thought of personal shopping as a luxury service, but Kathryn takes a really unique approach. She spent time evaluating my style and existing pieces within my closet to help me purge and organize based on my current style goals. Then she helped to fill-in areas of my wardrobe by taking me shopping and creating a catalogue of looks I could pull from each day. Not only is it a HUGELY worthwhile investment, but you won’t be wasting time or money on clothes that don’t serve you or that will just sit in your closet." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1588283295377-LLDJED5DYD6ZBKNJPD4B/testimonials2.jpg Testimonials - "Kathryn is a master curator, but instead of art, her medium is clothes. She organized my closet for me, and the result was an effortless and enjoyable ritual of choosing my outfit every day. Instead of feeing stressed and overwhelmed, and like nothing fit, I knew any combination of top and bottom I opted for would flatter my figure. Now, aesthetically this is great, but the confidence one reaps from the experience is what magically happens when you stop wearing clothes that no longer serve you well. Kathryn advocates for women and meets them where they are right NOW. Our bodies are different than they were twenty years ago and Kathryn celebrates that through finding beautiful and flattering clothes for your shape. Personally, through her expertise, it made me want to dress nicely every day, take better care of my skin and hair, and present myself confidently to the world. All that aside, the best part is how my personality shines through because I’m no longer hiding behind old sweatshirts, beat up t-shirts and leggings." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1588283142368-GDJKCPGQCU4TI5M0BLCJ/testimonials.jpg Testimonials - "Refreshing my closet was a daunting task I avoided for a year after moving into my new house. I brought with me "baggage" that seemed impossible to part with, when in reality most of the outfits did not fit anymore or reflect my current age. Kathryn and I spent a day purging and reorganizing my closet to reflect the person I want to dress as today. She gave me the confidence to put together new outfits with my existing clothing & accessories and organized my items in a way that makes every day an easy day to not only get dressed, but feel great about how I look. I would highly recommending welcoming Kathryn into your closet, she will certainly change your lifestyle!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3a32dae201034e051d8cad/1588282840099-2H52X00X2WGH97TXREUU/closet3.jpg Testimonials - "Working with Kathryn was so much more than just a styling session. Having recently transitioned from a formal business job to staying at home, I went into our meeting nervous and honestly embarrassed by my lack of style. But within seconds Kathryn made me feel comfortable and was finding options in what I considered to be a tired closet. She pushed me to try different combinations of color and texture and immediately recognized looks that were “me”. Working with her gave me a completely new view of my wardrobe and left me feeling confident and empowered. She is really the best!"
