Banish those wardrobe blues!
Hi neighbour! Spent lockdown wondering where your money goes? According to Vogue, between 53 and 79 per cent of a person’s wardrobe hasn’t been worn in a year. That’s a lot of wasted material. Most of us wear the same ‘safe’ garments over and over again despite the fact our closets are bulging. We have a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear. If this is you, let me help. I’ve worked for years helping people sort out their closets. The chances are you have all the clothes you need to look special and feel great – you just don’t quite know how to put the various pieces together to give you a look you want.
I'm Tracey Strange and I can show you how to pull those existing individual pieces together so you’ll have a whole range of outfits to choose from each week – choices that will all work together and make you feel as though you’re walking out the door looking and feeling sharp. In one three-hour consultation in your own home ($180), we’ll discuss the look you’d like to have, and then I will put together at least 10 new outfits from your existing wardrobe. Each outfit will be photographed (flat-lay), so you have a record. Come morning; you’ll be able to pull a great look together without having to think about it. You’ll be amazed at the possibilities we’ll find in that wardrobe – with no additional shopping or spending.
If this sounds like the sort of help you'd like, contact me at strangeandbeautiful.net
