Cecille Castillon-Weinstein, a closet concierge and owner of Castillon Lifestyle in New Paltz, says you can use your time at home to make room in your closet. “Consider selling clothes you aren’t going to wear through a consignment shop,” she said. “You have the potential for earning money there. There are also non-profit organizations, like Dress for Success, who can benefit from your donated clothes, too.” ….If you aren’t willing to part with that new cocktail dress you bought for a party or you want to hold on to the trendy work clothes you have, that’s okay. Castillon-Weinstein teaches her clients how to build what’s called a capsule wardrobe.
