Closet Case

Jim DeLaurentis Life Details Wardrobe Editing

A purple jumpsuit circa 1989. A straw hat that never saw the light of day. White belts.

The perfect ensemble for an escape from the mental institution?

No, we just can’t separate ourselves from our junk. Until Jim DeLaurentis of the new Life Details wardrobe editing service set us straight: The garbage must go.

A former Ralph Lauren visual coordinator, DeLaurentis sifts through your closet — finding your unique look (his, for example, is more Miami Nice than Nantucket WASP), streamlining it, and showing you how to wear what you’ve already got.

His rates won’t send you reeling (the whole point is to create a new, econofriendly wardrobe without the debt). And while he’s at it, he might just use his background in interior design to suggest a few small changes in your living space.

Purple throw pillows, perhaps.
