STEP 2:
The Closet Edit
press play
First, trust the process.
A closet edit is not about getting rid of as much as possible. It's about creating clarity. By the end of this process, you'll know what you love, what no longer serves you, what gaps exist in your wardrobe, and what you actually need to shop for moving forward.
This is the foundation of building a versatile capsule wardrobe, one where pieces mix, match, and work together effortlessly.
After a successful closet edit, your wardrobe should feel like a deep breath of fresh air. The goal isn't perfection, it's to make getting dressed feel easier again.
I promise it's one of the best feelings in the world, but it may feel messy before it feels calm. Trust the process.

Before You Begin
Choose Your Approach
There is no right way to do this.
Option 1
Dedicate 1–2 hours at a time and work through your closet section by section over the course of a week.
Option 2
Set aside a weekend day and complete the process in one sitting.
This is the same process I use with my 1:1 Experience clients.
Option 3
Split the process between Saturday and Sunday.
Most importantly, choose a time when you're energetically at your best. Some people love mornings, others are night owls. The goal is to approach this process with energy, curiosity, and intention.
Set Yourself Up for Success
Before you begin:
✓ Tidy the surrounding space so you have room to work
✓ Have a full-length mirror nearby
✓ Put on your favorite music
✓ Make a cup of tea or pour a glass of wine
✓ Gather bags or boxes for donations
✓ Keep your Style Persona Workbook notes nearby for reference
