Creating a curated closet

Imagine that you are standing in front of your closet looking at a sea of shirts, sweaters, skirts, pants, and dresses. You have purchased all of these clothes- maybe some of them more recently and maybe some of these items you have owned for years. There might be a few pieces in the closet that you have “just in case” or because they were given to you by a relative or loved one. And still… you find yourself saying “I have nothing to wear.”
If this has happened to you, you are not alone.
The concept of fashion has evolved greatly over the past sixty years. Increase in textile industries and the outsourcing of manufacturing has led to what is called fast fashion, or cheap, trendy clothes that are “produced at breakneck speed to meet consumer demand.” They are poorly made and contribute to bloated closets where clothing has little value or personal connection to you.
Enter The Curated Closet, a simple system for discovering your personal style and building your dream wardrobe.
The Curated Closet is “a wardrobe that’s perfectly tailored to your unique personal style and your life. It contains everything you need to feel confident and inspired everyday- no more and no less. It’s not based on trends, style typologies, or a cookie-cutter list of ‘wardrobe essentials.’ Your life isn’t cookie-cutter, so why should your closet be?” -Anuschka Rees
The fundamental philosophy of The Curated Closet includes five principles:
Be selective
Be authentic
Aim for quality
Style trumps fashion
Invest in developing your style
