I just did a closet clean out with Alyssa and it was seriously life changing!! Alyssa was the…read moreultimate professional. She showed up ready to tackle my 3 insanely large and insanely overcrowded closets, and we got straight down to business. She had mentioned to me before that this service is a minimum of four hours, which initially surprised me- but when we wrapped up my own closets, SIX hours later, I hugged her tight and praised her god given talent!
Alyssa tackles this process in a very non-threatening way. One item at a time, she goes through your closets to determine: keep, toss, donate, or sell. I will admit, I was pretty open to the idea, so there were (I would guess) only 5 or so items I actually fought her on giving up. She was never once pushy, or judgmental about any of my clothes. On the items where she would say "Donate" and I would plead "But wait, I like that!" she immediately offered up two ideas: 1) "Try it on for me, please" and 2) "When was the last time you wore this?" Seems simple enough, but I'd say on all but one item we debated, after doing one of those two things, I was willing to toss it into the donate pile.
I've been in the same apartment for 5 years, the same job for 7, and I hadn't even realized how my closets mirrored my life in that regard. I had shoes, clothes, interview outfits, coats, jackets, you name it, which were not only out of date, but they were in horrible shape. I now have two closets, completely cleaned out, and styled for the seasons.
Cannot recommend her enough! She did an amazing job with this, and she has also helped me style outfits in the past- so any of her services would be something I would recommend to friends and family without a second thought.
