PARE AND POSH

Dana Turk and Jennifer Rustum streamline and Style Your Closets!

“The potential is there. We help you see it.”


A STORY OF TWO FRIENDS:

This is a story of two friends who decided to pair their separate skills of streamlined organization and inspired outfit styling to support people in one aspect of their lives: dressing to potential.

Jennifer Rustum and Dana Turk started Pare and Polish, a closet organization and styling service, to help friends clear closet stagnation and to inspire their creativity toward “best self” dressing, every single day. Closets are very personal spaces and they enter with an awareness of this dynamic. In a no-judgement way, they listen to how the client lives and what they desire. As they get to know their client, they begin to sort through the contents of the closet to discover its treasures. By setting aside items that no longer fit or have served their purpose, cherished and versatile pieces come to the forefront. They help clients experience items on their own and re-visit how they value these pieces. The goal is to keep what reflects how someone lives today, but also for who they are becoming.

The duo works in sync to create full outfits from tops to shoes to accessories that enhance the wearer’s appearance. More importantly, they hope to give people that seamless confidence and joy of stepping out into the world in well-fitted clothing they love to best reflect themselves.
