The importance of closet editing as the first step in building a wardrobe that sparks joy
How letting go of clothing that doesn\\u2019t fit or doesn\\u2019t work for you turn getting ready in the morning from stress to joy
Learn fashion tips from Joanna that will help you find the perfect clothing items regardless of your body type
Learn about "The Line, The V and the Rule of Three!"
Joanna\'s favorite styling tip:
\\n\\u201cIf you chose to wear something voluminous on the top, wear something tighter on the bottom and vice versa. And if you wear pants that are cropped, your top needs to be shorter as well. It\\u2019s all about proportions.\\u201d
What sparks joy for Joanna:
\\n"I\\u2019m planning an event in New York for curvy girls. It\\u2019s important to me to show women that they are not tied to some traditional concept of fashion. It\\u2019s important to me that all women are recognized.\\u201d

\\n\\nGems:
\\n\\n\\u201cMy ideal client is someone who just doesn\\u2019t have the time to think about what they are going to wear that day.\\u201d
\\n\\n\\u201cWhen you think about your closet, what percentage of your clothes that you actually wear?\\u201d
\\n\\n\\u201cMy thought is that if you want to keep that sentimental dress, then let\\u2019s get a nice box and call it your \\u2018Nostalgia Box\\u2019! \\u201c
\\n\\n\\u201cHow you feel and how you want to make other people feel should be the only consideration when it comes to what you decide you wear.\\u201d
\\n\\n\\u201cAs Tim Gunn always says, \\u201cThat\\u2019s a lot of look!\\u201d
