Are you ready for a
MILESTONE MAKEOVER?
Can you answer 'yes' to any of these questions? If so, you qualify for a Milestone Makeover!
- Do you rarely hear compliments from strangers or friends on your appearance?
- Do people notice your outfit first?
- Do your friends often ask if you're tired?
- Is your closet bulging, but you still have nothing to wear?
- Have you decided not to change anything until you've reached your ideal weight, but that was 2+ years ago?
- Do you not recognize yourself in the mirror - or worse, not even look in the mirror?
- Have you been wearing the same hairstyle/make-up for the past 5+ years?
- Do you avoid looking at your whole body, front and back, in the mirror?
Most importantly, you're ready if you can't look yourself in the eyes and say "I love you and you are enough" without crying or looking away.
Call or email to receive your 15 minute complimentary consult to see how to achieve your goal!

Benefits to Cleaning out your Closet...
As we chat with women about the services we offer at different functions across Northeast Ohio, many of them share a dirty secret. "I have so many clothes and nothing to wear!" or "My closet is overflowing. I have sizes in my closet I know I will never be again - but I just can't get rid of them!"
First and foremost - stop beating yourself up! You may think this is your dirty, little secret but honestly most women can relate to any of those comments. Its OK, we can deal with this. Take baby steps (we'll use that phrase a lot); it's the best way to begin dealing with anything that causes pain or discomfort in our lives.
So,here's our advice:
1. Try on EVERY item and look in the mirror. With each piece, ask yourself if you will you really wear it to work, shopping, or dinner? Have you worn it in the last six months? If not, there's probably a reason. TIP: Each time you went to wear it, something made you take it off. Maybe it's the color - it's possible to like a color but it not be right for your skin tone. Maybe it's the fit? Does it pinch, gap, pull or accent a less attractive area?
2. Make several piles labeled: Keep, Repair, Pitch and Donate. TIP: To avoid having a change of heart on the "pitch" and "donate" items ask a friend to take them out of the house, or immediately put the box or bag in your trunk and take it directly to the donation drop!
3. While uncovering precious real estate in your closet you will feel excited but don't rush out a fill'er up again! Take a real assessment of who you are and what image you want to project. What is your style now? TIP: Create a list of items that are necessary and needed in order to fill the gaps in your wardrobe.
4. As you proceed through your closet, create multiple outfits with the items that you are keeping. Everything needs to coordinate. TIP: If it doesn't coordinate with at least 3 or more outfits you should give serious thought to donating it.
5. Save money by having a well thought, coordinating wardrobe with fewer items but more options. TIP: Save money! Keep in mind your coordinating theme and save yourself from impulse purchases that end up never being worn.
Be tough and diligent! Don't talk yourself out of donating something just because you "paid a lot of money for it." If you're not strong enough for this big job recruit your most fashion-forward friend to help. You can always call us, too! We will let you know if it does or doesn't work for you and why.
There are so many benefits to cleaning our your closet! To name a few -
- get organized and feel good about it
- give your unworn clothes a new life by donating them
- give other women great items that compliment their shape and color!
- tax benefits of donating (TIP: www.BankRate.com has a handy value chart to determine a garments worth for tax itemization)
Might we suggest that you consider Dress for Success as the recipient of your donated business attire and accessories? You can help local, low income women get back on their feet and back to work right here in Cleveland, Ohio. You can make your donation by checking out www.DressforSuccess.org/Cleveland.
