BALTIMORE — After years of watching Lynn Weisberg purchase garment after garment, boutique manager Karen Ciurca-Weiner finally told her loyal customer a hard truth — she needed to stop buying and start looking at what she had.

Ciurca-Weiner suggested that what Weisberg really needed was to organize her closet.

“She kept buying all these clothes,” Ciurca-Weiner said as she stood inside her client’s closet, a 9-by-12-foot converted office space that now has shelving and drawers to accommodate Weisberg’s clothes. “I told her to stop buying items and make outfits out of clothes” she already had.

Since their initial session five years ago, the two have come together twice a year to organize Weisberg’s clothes — once at the beginning of spring and once at the beginning of fall. The nearly four-hour sessions allow Weisberg to maximize her closet space while planning her outfits for the coming season.

“She cleans out and refreshes my closet every season,” Weisberg said. “It’s a time-saver and a huge money-saver.”

More and more people are seeking the help of closet organizers to create order and save money, according to experts.

In addition to purging closets of space-eating out-of-date garments, the experts are using their knowledge to identify hidden gems to create fresh looks for their clients.

With the addition of several hooks for clothes and jewelry, a few shelves for shoes and even a curtain rod to hang scarves, anyone can maximize their closet space, said Ciurca-Weiner.

Upon completion of the closet reorganization, she provides clients with a list of clothes they need.

Weisberg loves this aspect of the process. “I can go into the store and pick things that I need, as opposed to buying everything I like — most of the time,” Weisberg said with a laugh.
