Five months ago, a close friend referred me to Best Kept Self's Style Editor, Megan Brandle. My friend promised that if I invested in one of Megan's wardrobe edits, the days of being five minutes late to work because I couldn't decide what to wear would end. Although, if we're being honest, I was usually more than five minutes late.... So thank goodness she was right! Megan spent a day sorting through everything I owned. Together, we decided what to keep, what to alter and what to donate or consign. We made outfits, consulted on accessories, shoes and purses, and took photographs so that I could remember all our progress. In one day with Megan, I learned exactly which clothes + colors did--and didn't--flatter me. I'm sure she would've been even more in depth if I had purchased a custom color analysis or splurged on her total package. Even so, she was efficient, energetic and positive throughout the entire process, and she listened carefully. Megan took the time to understand which items were my favorites and least favorites. She also prepared carefully; we built a Pinterest board before the wardrobe edit, so Megan had a good idea of how I liked to dress. Megan was so knowledgeable during the wardrobe edit that I couldn't refrain from asking her questions afterward. Together, we selected a beautiful new handbag--just right for my frame and style. And, most recently, we styled a weekend's worth of special occasion outfits. Megan came back to my closet and helped me choose six outfits for an upcoming family wedding. She did this at an hourly rate, and I was amazed--and exhausted!--when all six (including dresses, sweaters, shoes, jewelry and handbags) were completely decided in 60 minutes!! In every session, Megan has made it clear that clothes are supposed to be fun! Style is a form of personal expression, and it's a disservice to wear something that doesn't make you feel confident, successful, beautiful and unique. Her attitude speaks to the heart of her company's mission: "Best Kept Self is a community to help women feel, look and live confident." It goes without saying that both Megan and Best Kept Self have enriched my life, both personally and professionally. So let me be the "close friend" who refers you to her, and don't wait another minute before calling Megan!

This was my second time doing a full closet edit with Megan - we worked together during the fall and with spring looming, I knew I needed her expertise to again to help me organize my warm weather clothing. Megan arrived and immediately took charge and helped me make decisions based on how things looked on me and helped me build outfits from my current wardrobe. She also helped me mix and match shoes, scarves and other accessories to dress certain items up or create a more causal look. I didn't know I had so many possibilities at my fingertips. I also realized I was holding on to items I thought were important because of their cost or sentimental value. Megan is really a wardrobe therapist, never telling me that I could not or should not keep something, but walking me through the necessary steps to eliminate pieces that were, in reality, cluttering my space and my ability to dress efficiently.
Today my closet is neat and organized. I know what I own and what pairs well together and I can get dressed quickly and feel confident. No changing outfits over and over! Megan also helped me make a list of a few key items that would benefit my wardrobe - little things that won't cost much but have a big impact. Thank you, Megan. I wish I would have done this five years ago.

Megan came over today and we spent 2 full hours purging my closet. It was wonderful. I feel better than happy - I feel productive and relaxed. We went through my entire closet, my shoes and coats, plus she even untangled jewelry with me. I'm always so impressed by her knowledge and amazing attitude. Straight the point but still so positive.
