280 | Too Many Clothes and Nothing to We...

Heather Riggs - Stylist, Image Consultant & Color Analyst for Women
About this episode

Did you know the average woman wears only about 20% of what’s in her closet? That means the other 80% is just taking up space—and often making it harder to get dressed. So no wonder we end up with that dreaded feeling: a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Today, we’re breaking that cycle for good.

 

I’m going to walk you through five simple steps that will help you clean out the clutter—without leaving you feeling deprived.

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

  • Why a packed closet actually gives you fewer options. Yes! You read that right!
  • How to set personal wardrobe goals that will keep you on track.
  • The key thing that makes getting dressed a whole lot easier.
  • A guilt-free process to create breathing room in your closet.
  • And how to rebuild smarter so this cycle doesn’t come back.

 

If your closet feels overwhelming and your mornings feel frustrating, then let’s dive in and fix it for good!
