It's Not You, It's Your Clothes — How to Reclaim Your Style and Fall Back in Love With Getting Dressed with Suzanne Colmer

You know that feeling when you open your closet and nothing feels quite like you anymore? Maybe, ever since the pandemic, it's been a few years of sweats and working from home. Maybe your body has changed, your life has changed, and the clothes hanging in there feel like they belong to someone you used to be.

That's exactly where I was, and then Suzanne Colmer walked into my closet with her closet cleanse method and literally changed my life!

As one of Canada's premiere style and image consultants, Suzanne Colmer works with her clients to ensure they love their clothes and that their clothes love them back. She specializes in closet cleanses, size-inclusive personalized shopping, and Canadian curated capsule wardrobes that allow you to buy less and wear more. Often sought out by the media as a Canadian style expert, Suzanne has been featured locally on Global TV, and CBC and in the Globe and Mail and globally as Toronto's style consultant with Tourism Toronto.

Suzanne has a gift for making you feel seen, understood, and genuinely excited to get dressed again. I can’t wait for you to listen!

In this episode, we're talking about:

  • The first step to reconnecting with your style when you have no idea where to start

  • Closet cleanses are like cleaning out your fridge before you go grocery shopping

  • “It's not you, it's your clothes"

  • How to handle clothes you're saving for "someday"

  • Suzanne's philosophy for her own closet – and why she shops on a one-in, one-out rule

  • What "style words" are and why figuring out yours is a game-changer

  • How to actually finish an outfit

  • Suzanne’s take on trends

  • The one piece Suzanne thinks almost everyone should own (can you guess what it is?)
