Do you ever wonder what might be blocking your style and holding you back from fashion happiness?  Almost everyone makes the same ONE major fashion mistake, and it’s called Closet Chaos. There is literally a name for it. This week, your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz holds your hand and guides you through “How to Clean Out Your Closet” (without crying). This episode is fabulously fun and informative, and is just the pep talk we all need! These are the ULTIMATE Fashion Crimes:  Disorganization The number one reason your closet looks crazy is disorganization. If you think you are an organized person, but you can't find anything to wear or it's taking you too long to get dressed, guess what? You are not organized. Clothes are energy. What you wear and how you feel in your clothes all starts with how they are presented to you every day.  You need your clothes to be organized so they make sense to your eye and your brain. If they are hanging in a way where you can’t recognize what is what, then you either aren't going to take the time to figure it out, or you will take too much time trying to decide what to wear.  Are your clothes in piles on the floor? Stuffed into a tiny closet? Shoved inside your drawers?  Messy closets will make your morning dressing routine chaotic, and leave you stressed out before your day even gets started!  “Here is an analogy: ‘Eat this eat, not that.’ Holly heard this on her favorite TikTok feed (where everyone goes for important info). And she had an epiphany! You know what?  We all need to be an adult at some point and eat vegetables with every meal.”   Same goes for keeping your closet organized. Be an adult.  2. Inconsistent Laundry Practices You need a laundry plan: start it, finish it, put it away. Do you forget to put your clean clothes in the dryer?  Do you leave your clothes in the dryer for days to get wrinkled? Do you have piles of clean clothes in laundry baskets? Do you send everything, or nothing, to the dry cleaner?   If you answered yes to any of the above, you have inconsistent laundry practices. You need to know HOW to do your laundry: read the care labels, know what to send to the dry cleaner, put your clothes back where they belong, and remember to always iron/steam when needed.  3. Over-shopping Do you know what you have in your closet?  News Flash: You do not need to buy a new outfit every time you have an event or occasion.  Repeat that to yourself at least once a day. You most likely have what you need in your closet right this very minute! But you can’t even see any of it, because of your chaotic closet.  Yes, shopping is thrilling! And it often seems easier to just buy something new than deal with issues like a chaotic closet, or the real reasons why you are shopping too much, or spending money you do not have.  Do not shop to fill a void.  “It could be something as small as a pair of earrings. If you have 78,000 pairs of earrings that are all over the house, and you can't find them, you are just going to buy more because you don't want to deal with finding them.” You can stop this madness.  And try going shopping in your closet first. More ‘stuff’ only adds to the chaos.  You now know the reasons why your closet needs help and why it could be holding you back on your style evolution. We've identified the reasons why, now let's talk about the solutions. SIDEBAR: If we were to look back at pictures of you from 15 years ago, and you look the same in the exact same clothing, you are stuck in a style rut and you need to clean out your closet. Jussayin, boo! So, how do you clean out your closet on your own?    Change all your hangers.  We swear to God, Holly could scream this from the mountaintops for the next 20 years. You need to change all your hangers. Right the second. Right now. Not yesterday, not in two weeks, not tomorrow.  And, you must change all your hangers to velvet, slimline hangers. If you have shitty-ass plastic hangers, hangers from dry cleaners, or plast
