As a former freelance wardrobe stylist, Alyssa Beltempo felt constantly surrounded by clothes, and got tired of seeing inexpensive garments hanging on racks only to be purchased and discarded a few weeks later. She also grew tired of the common “I have nothing to wear” mentality, and the havoc overconsumption was having on the planet. So she set out to create a space where using what you have and shopping smart didn’t come from a judgmental or guilt-inducing space, but one of creativity and confidence.

Alyssa believes the secret to a curated closet and being a more conscious consumer has everything to do with being creative with what we’ve got and smart in our purchasing decisions. Alyssa now works as a sustainable stylist, helping clients embrace a more slow fashion lifestyle. She encourages folks to embrace a smaller closet full of pieces they actually wear, and advocates for creativity over consumption first.
