Polished Social Image Consultants Teams Up With Rosie's Place; Offers Exclusive Wardrobe "Spring Cleaning" to Benefit a Great Cause

Closet busting at the seams? Have ten pairs of pants but nothing to wear? Wondering which jeans actually flatter your figure? Need to know what's hot and not this season?

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 17, 2004

Closet busting at the seams? Have ten pairs of pants but nothing to wear? Wondering which jeans actually flatter your figure? Need to know what's hot and not this season? In celebration of March National Clean Out Your Closet month, Polished Social Image Consultants is pleased to announce it’s "Spring Fling" service – professional wardrobe editing with a twist: this month only, all the unneeded items will go to Rosie's Place, a non profit organization that helps poor and homeless women by providing shelter, food and above all, solutions – from the immediate to the long term including advocacy, clothing and job training.

As Boston's only service specializing in total lifestyle and image improvement, Polished Social Image Consultants brings Bostonians the first-ever cache of services for enhancing their personal and professional image. According to owner Samantha von Sperling, "From corporate presidents to new moms to young adults getting ready to enter the work force, everyone needs a voice of reason when it comes to what to wear. Polished's exclusive array of services allows me to create a custom program tailored to individual needs."

Von Sperling's highly personalized approach to wardrobe management utilizes her discerning eye to whip even the most stuffed closet into shape – culling both the cutting edge and the classics to create a look that's both modern and individual. "There is no one universal truth when it comes to clothes – a vintage Chanel suit may look dowdy on one person and dreamy on another. Having a good editor helps enormously," explained von Sperling.

Want to get a jump start? Among the items von Sperling has "hot listed" for spring 2004 are:

anything pink and green – think summering in Nantucket, jelly bags in sorbet colors added textures and stripes – little details that set a simple t-shirt apart mainstays such as a navy or black suit and a great pair of black heels fantastic prints – bold, graphic ways to make a wardrobe say "wow", now mix and match solids including twin sets in varying weights and classic fitted khakis a stunning silk scarf to multi-task as a "fun" belt or a timeless accent piece

The price for this candid on-site advice? $90/hour with most Spring Flings taking anywhere from one to three hours. Plus, because von Sperling is also a skilled personal shopper, she can ease the purge with a quick trip for some seasonal supplements. "Many people continue to buy without knowing what really compliments their shape and coloring. Less is really more when you have the essentials down," explained von Sperling. "The are always a few standouts in any season – the key is to mix them judiciously to create a signature style. Adhering too closely to a trend always ends up looking silly."

Von Sperling has built an extra perk into her package by offering to provide every edited piece this month to Rosie's Place. "Providing good clothes to a great charity seemed like a natural extension of what I do. I've always believed in the important work Rosie's Place does and I'm delighted we're working together."

Since 1974, women have found an oasis of hope and nourishment at Rosie's Place. Rosie's Place provides a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives. Rosie's Place has evolved from providing meals and shelter to creating permanent solutions through advocacy, education and affordable housing. Rosie's Place relies solely on the generous support of individuals, foundations and corporations and does not accept any city, state or federal funding.

Spring Fling services to benefit Rosie's Place can be booked any time during the month of March and used through May 31. In addition to wardrobe makeovers, Polished services include personal shopping, make-up application, etiquette tips and dance lessons as well as corporate consultations.
