Party Q & A
When you decided to do Kate’s Party in the Closet, what did you feel was missing or that you needed to change about your look/style?
“When I read Kate’s website where it states: They say women get depressed with clutter. A weight is lifted when things are streamlined; your mind becomes clearer. We leave you with a signature style you love and a closet weeded so you easily see your options.” I knew right away that this consult would be perfect for me. It could clear a lot of clutter from my closet and my mind that I found exhausting, demoralizing, overwhelming and frustrating to revisit because I was stuck. I could not figure out what should be culled. I could also see that over the years I would buy or receive similar items, trying to get the look “just right”, without fully understanding what wasn’t right. This would include choices to please my husband that I never felt great in.
How did you feel about your beauty/look/style before working with Kate?
My style was unsettled.
How do you feel now about your beauty/look/style after working with Kate?
Kate helped solidify my instincts and style. I understand better why certain looks (including colors, brightness, pattern, shapes) do or do not work for me. I now feel: more at ease; more able to let go of items that are not in that zone; less frustrated by shuffling and buying the wrong clothing; more mentally free; and not bound by historical (bad) style choices.
What was your favorite part about working with Kate in this closet makeover?
Kate is a Master Teacher. She’s so smart and able to articulate what she sees and why. She really does “see” her clients, honors who they are, and wants them to look and feel great and authentic every day. She wants me to feel great whether I am alone on my farm or out and about in the world. Like everyone, I have challenges in my life and I really want and need to feel as bright, peaceful, and grounded as possible as I move through the world. Kate gets that and articulates it: she honors and finds the unique beauty that is in us and wants us to see it for ourselves and then live in that place.
What would you tell someone considering doing a closet makeover with Kate?
Again, Kate is a Master. You should not miss the opportunity to work with her!
This is one of the best long term investments I have ever made in myself. I will save money long term and I have enhanced my daily well-being. I initially balked at the financial investment; however, I realized that it would be liberating: I would feel so much better to get my closet in shape and I would save money by making better choices for my wardrobe; I could stop feeling badly about the things I don’t wear (literally in my closet for up to 30 years); I could donate items to someone who will love them; I could feel great and look great.
Finally, there can be a shame in having someone else go through your closet and review your personal items. Kate has no judgement and knows how hard it can be. That is also a gift!
