Wardrobe Love Begins

Wardrobe Love Begins

Starting to love your wardrobe again can seem a daunting task especially if your closet floor is covered in said wardrobe.  Where do you start?  How do you start?  Why do you want to start??!!

Well, that last one is a very good question.  Here’s the answer.  You drool over every magazine picture & TV show that has a boutique closet.  You dream about someone creating a space where you “go shopping” when dressing.  You love the feel of a nice department store, how each designer has their own boutique & wish your closet looked the same.

Do You Have Too Much Stuff?

Each day we are bombarded with advertisements enticing us to purchase the newest clothes, toys, furniture, tools,etc.  And if the lure of something new doesn’t pull you to shop, there is always a bargain to be had.
