The Masters
This dress is not only comfortable, offers pockets but it is the perfect complement to the green fairways and white, caddy suits
{Floral dress/www.zara.com}
Don't forget you will be walking a lot so this first shoe is comfortable and cute.

You will need a second footwear option for the "after the round" partays! This sandal is not only stylish but the block heel will prevent any "stuck in the grass" moments.
Finally, the accessories:
1. This brim provides protection from the sun. Plus, we like how the thin stripe is a complement against the floral pattern of the dress.
2. Sunnies. Protect your eyes from not only the sun but from the pollen.
3. Finally, the jewels. You don't need much due to the fun, vibrant print in the dress. The small, gold earrings bring out the detail in the espadrille toe and the buckle of the block heels.

Enjoy the match!

Behind the doors of a Closet Editor - Cataloging
Today's post is all about our famous "edit+style wardrobe wheel" and the e+s slide show.
This wheel of pics allows our clients to choose an outfit from their already owned wardrobe in the blink of an eye. All catalogued images include shoes and accessories. A head to toe look!
Ok, so how many of you have stood in front of your closet saying, "I have nothing to wear!"
Well fret no more. When you hire an edit+style Closet Ediotr we leave you with our famous "e+s wardrobe wheel." Kristen and I compare it to a painters chip. It is a small ring of pictures that allow you to flip through the outfits catalogued by edit+style in a flash ⚡️
Another item on the edit+style menu is our "Getaway Packing" service. The e+s wardrobe wheel is adorable, small and packable. So, when you arrive at your destination, for work or fun, you know what to wear with just a quick flip through the wheel.
Ok, so what if a client accidentally forgets the edit+style WW 😳 ?? Stay calm!
Kristen and I take all catalogued images and create a personalized Google slide show for each and every client.
Images are accompanied by a small paragraph of "when & where" the look should be worn. We also offer suggestions of how to take the photographed ensemble into another season. We believe that each item in your closet should be, and can be, worn during two Seasonal changes. If not more!
We are currently accepting Spring and Summer Seasonal edit appointments. Email or call us:

Always, shop your closet first because it's, "Your stuff."Your style."
XO,
Cathy and Kristen

Behind the doors of a Closet Editor - Consignment & Donations
Today's blog post explains what happens to unwanted and unworn items from the closets that we edit+style.
FYI, we don't just send items to any consignment store or donation site. We methodically go through each piece to decide where the client, or another beneficiary, will receive the most benefit.
For instance, not all consignment sites will accept your favorite, acid-washed, denim jacket that you wore to a Cure concert in High School. Trust us, we have one of those jackets 😳
Kristen and I have done the work for you. We have read up on consignment stores and sites across the nation. Below are a few of our favorites ....
Not only do the above sites photograph and resell your items for you. Your unwanted items are mailed for FREE! Yes, FREE!

Of course, they make sure that you are ok with this before they donate anything. But, who doesn't want to Give Back?!
that have an in-town concierge. This person will pick up your unworn items, mail them to New York City, and set up your personal re-sale account for you. Voila!
Again, our goal is to make sure that our clients are always taken care of. Which is why, we don't want to leave them with a pile of "stuff" in a corner of their room to deal with after we leave.
Kristen and I take the bag(s) and either donate or sell the items for you!

ThredUp {one of our favs} will donate all unsold merchandise to a charity.
There are even sites, such as,
Our favorite Charlotte concierge is, Bev Sokol 💖 So, if you have a leather bag or gown you no longer wear, give Bev a call!
Finally, for items that do not make the "consignment cut", Kristen and I drop these things to a local charity. Such as 
Not only do we collect your donation slip, we even itemize the items donated and put together a tax valuation. This way, you hand everything over to your CPA in the Spring.
As I've said before, edit+style is a service and brand.
You won't want to miss tomorrow's post. All about the edit+style "wardrobe wheel." A client favorite!
