There’s something powerful about opening your closet in the morning and being greeted only by clothes that fit, flatter, and feel like it sets the tone for the day before your feet even touch the floor.
Yet for so many of us, our closet becomes a hiding place for our past selves, for guilt purchases, for “someday.”
But what if your closet could reflect the person you are now, not who you were five years ago, or who you be next summer?
That’s where the LITL system comes in. In my book, I talk about how
Letting Go is not about tossing things recklessly—it’s about releasing what no longer serves you. Those pants you haven’t worn in years? They’ve done their job. Thank them, and let them move on.
Next, get Intentional. Ask: What do I actually wear? What do I feel good in? Create zones: seasonal, daily essentials, dressy. Fold, hang, and store with care—not perfection, but with .
Transform your space with simple systems: uniform hangers, shelf dividers, a bin for shoes. And don’t forget to
Love It—add a small picture or scent sachet to make the space feel joyful.
Because every morning should begin with ease. Your closet isn’t just for clothes. It’s a compass, guiding you to show up fully, confidently, and clearly.
