Times are tough. I know a lot of folks don’t have a lot of extra money for clothes, let alone wardrobe advice. However, I still think it’s worth making an investment now to save yourself money in the long run. To that end, I’m offering a new low-cost consultation and a teleseminar to help you with your wardrobe issues right now.

Mini Closet Edit: This is a compact, one-hour version of the Closet Edit. I’ll send you a list of questions to be sent back to me before the session and assign some (easy) homework. Once at your house, we’ll take a tour through your closet and figure out what the most pressing issues are for you and how you can address them. It includes:

• discussion of your tastes, lifestyle, and personal wardrobe challenges
• guidance on what to keep, what to toss, and what to buy
• insight into the best colors and styles for you

We’ll get you moving toward refining your personal style and developing an action plan. Be ready to take notes! Just $150. (The fee is a little higher if you live outside the city or nearby suburbs.) Contact me via email or by calling 773-898-3131 to schedule this service.

New teleseminar: Fashion Survival in a Recessionista World. In this one-hour seminar you’ll learn do-it-yourself techniques for cleaning out your closet and how to shop without breaking your budget.

We’ll  discuss:

• identifying what you need–and what you don’t
• how to get into a “defensive shopping” mindset
• how to avoid buying items that don’t work with your style or existing wardrobe
• when to splurge and when to save
• websites, email lists, and techniques for buying on sale

The only requirements are a phone and a computer or access to a computer and a printer, so you can follow along with a handout during the call. You’ll have access to a recording of the call for 30 days (on the phone or available for download in mp3 format) in case you have to leave early or miss it. I am keeping the group small to ensure that everyone has a chance to ask questions, so you should reserve your space early. Just $60.

When is it?

The teleseminar is scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at 8pm Central time.
