I’m thrilled to report that after five-plus days of cleaning out items I no longer needed I was left with a wardrobe that made me excited to get dressed in the morning. Plus, I ended up donating a pile of clothing that literally towered over me—it all felt so empowering. Believe me, if I can do it, you can clean out your closet too!

About those unworn clothes in your closet…
They're not just sitting there taking up space. They're draining your energy.
Think about it: every time you open your closet, you're forced to reconsider them.
Should I wear this?
Does this still work?
Why did I even buy this?
And because you don't want to wear any of it, you end up in the same five things every time.
Meanwhile, the rest just sits there unused, tags still attached, pieces you spent good money on.
It's making you feel both guilty and wanting to buy more.
After styling 1000s of midlife women, the biggest mistake I see is thinking more clothes = better options.
That’s why we buy buy buy! We want more choice.
To feel better.
But buying more clothes creates more confusion.
And indecision
More clothes also give a false sense of security.
You may feel the dopamine hit at checkout, but once those new pieces join all those unworn clothes taking up space in your closet, the truth sets in:
More clothing is the problem.
Curating your wardrobe with fewer, well-chosen pieces will give you more CHOICE.
Because you'll want to wear it all!
Typical decluttering methods won't work.
Have you ever done your own closet cleanout, and then quickly fallen back into a rut?
It's because you’re not editing your wardrobe to support your next life stage.
This is why I created the Guided Closet Cleanout Challenge
Join me for a live 5-day challenge starting January 26th, 2026.
I'll show you how to edit your wardrobe the right way— to align your style with your next chapter and create space for your evolving identity.
Drawing on my years as a fashion editor, I'll teach you to view your clothing with an editor's eye, so you're left with less stuff but the right pieces.
Unlike typical cleanouts that just declutter, this experience elevates your style for your next life stage.
The result?
My private clients clear 70% of their wardrobe and still feel like they have MORE choice.
The Guided Closet Cleanout Will Serve You Well...
Whichever situation you find yourself in:
You're feeling stuck and ready for a refresh!

See what other women In Their Midlife Era, just like you, have to say:
I would look in my wardrobe, and have all these clothes, and think, I don’t have anything to wear, I need to buy new clothes.
Now I’m no longer like OMG I need a whole new wardrobe! Because I see I have a lot of really great stuff. Also now that I’m seeing my wardrobe differently, I’m putting my clothes together differently.
Lisa
This was way more than a closet cleanout - it was a reset/refresh on who I am, who I am becoming, and how I want to present myself to the world. The lessons Elysha incorporated into the session gave my purging a context, which made my choices to get rid of things intentional and way less indecisive than if I had done a cleanout on my own.
Rachelle
Elysha's guidance on digging deep into alignment with where I want to go was so helpful. I never thought of my closet in such a way. I was truly impressed at how much you made me think about the image I project to other people the world and the overall impact of my clothes/ style.
Sangeeta
Although I had purged significantly prior to this, I was surprised how much more I was able to let go of.
Pamela
I’d been carrying around old family clothes for sentimental reasons for years. And my mother did for years before that. And now I feel ok about letting them go. That’s a major step for me. I knew I couldn’t do it myself.
Kristin
It helped me commit and follow through on a long awaited need - now I feel relieved.
Joanna
This was a huge thing for me because it was letting go of all those shopping mistakes I've made that I didn't want to own.
Why Now Is The Time To Join The Challenge:
Clutter in your closet:
The clutter won’t clear itself, and doing it alone often leads to procrastination or ineffective results. That’s why, even after you cleanout your closet, your style still feels stuck.
Outdated wardrobe:
You’ve changed, but your clothes haven’t. You'll learn how to update your wardrobe so it's current to you now and supports who you are becoming.
Money wasted on unworn clothing:
By seeing what your wardrobe needs, you can stop overspending on items you won’t wear.
Unanswered style questions:
Get opportunities to ask your style questions and avoid getting stuck during your cleanout.
Indecision:
When you're passing over 80% of your wardrobe, you're stuck in indecision. Commit to making confident choices about what to clear and what to wear — this certainty will carry over into other areas of your life.
Style uncertainty
By thoughtfully curating your wardrobe with my pro techniques, you’ll gain clarity on who you are and how you want to show up, bringing a new level of insight to your personal style.
Pro techniques
Get the exact method I use with my private clients to help them get rid of 70% of their clothing and still feel like they have more choice in their wardrobe.

From Clearing to Creating: Moving Forward with Purpose
Meet The Style Pro:
Hi! I’m Elysha Lenkin, and it's my soul's mission to help midlife women show up more powerfully in their lives.
I got my start styling NYC commercial shoots for big brands, magazines and celebrities like Carrie Underwood, O The Oprah Magazine, Tina Fey, and Serena Williams — I’ve spent over 10k hours working with women and their wardrobes, and I know exactly how to make them feel incredible about how they look.
Although it doesn’t have the glam of shopping and the excitement of styling, the closet cleanout is my favorite part of personal style because it offers a unique opportunity to look at yourself through your clothing. When you acknowledge who you are and who you want to become, then let go of everything that doesn't align, you make space for your evolving identity.
In the Guided Closet Cleanout, I’ll show you how to edit your wardrobe the right way, so a more authentic YOU can emerge, carrying calm confidence to all areas of your life.

Read on for the answers!
The challenge begins Monday January 26th and goes through the week with the final BONUS call on Saturday January 31, 2026.
Absolutely! Many of my clients start with overflowing closets and drawers, just like you. One woman had clothes scattered all over her house and was able to significantly reduce her wardrobe through my process. Another client went from 3 closets to just 1. Getting started can be the hardest part, but I’ll provide clear, step-by-step instructions to make it as manageable as possible.
You can definitely clear your closet on your own. However, what I've found is that most women either put it off or struggle to do it effectively. When you join the challenge you'll get a structured system to get the job done. My clients who used this system have gotten rid of 70% in their closets and then felt like they had MORE CHOICE in their wardrobes. With my years of experience as a fashion stylist, this isn’t just about decluttering—it's about evolving your wardrobe to support your next chapter and renewing your style for your changing needs.
Every day, you'll receive an email with the daily challenge and workbook. I'll also host a live styling tutorial in our private Facebook community to explain the assignment and answer your questions. For the bonus session on Jan. 31st, we’ll come together on Zoom for a live session where I'll share how to move from Clearing to Creating without filling your closet back up with clutter.
Plan on committing 25 minutes a day to watch the style tutorial and 25 minutes to work in your closet. The idea behind this challenge is simple: a small daily effort can lead to the big result of evolving your wardrobe!
If your budget allows, a private session is a fantastic opportunity to get personalized guidance on YOUR specific wardrobe challenges. In this 45-minute styling session, you can bring your questions, whether it's 'what actually looks good on me?', 'how do I style this piece?', or 'what's my plan moving forward?'— and I'll give you clarity and direction tailored to your life.
BTW: I don’t usually offer standalone sessions, and this is highly discounted compared to my other packages so definitely grab a spot if you feel called.
Immediately after making your purchase you will receive a confirmation email with your bonuses, an invitation to join the private Facebook group and details on how to get started in the challenge.
You can! Each day, you'll receive an email with the daily challenge instructions. The Bonus session will be held on Zoom, and you'll be invited to join live. (The replay will be available afterward.)
That said — joining the Facebook community will give you extra accountability, an opportunity to get your questions answered by me, and a chance to connect with others who are on the same path. These built-in support systems will help you stay on track and get the job done. In the last round, there were women who set up an account just to go through the challenge, and then they deleted it after.
All sales are final. You'll have access to all materials from January 26th through March 1st, giving you plenty of time to complete the work at your own pace.
Real Talk:
I know it’s easy to feel disconnected with your style when so much is changing in your life.
But evolving your style starts by recognizing what's NOT you.
Then letting it go.
Your closet represents so much more than the clothes.
It reveals where you've been.
Where you wish you were.
What you're attached to. And won't let go.
When you commit to a closet cleanout, you’re not just creating space — you’re making a powerful promise to yourself and opening the door to meaningful change.
To fully claim your next chapter, you need to release everything holding you back and keeping you stuck in the old one.
So here's the question:
Are you ready to stop standing in front of your closet feeling drained? To finally let go of the guilt, the clutter, and the clothes that are keeping you stuck in your old chapter?
Because in 5 days, you could have:
Bags of clothes cleared out and a closet you're actually excited about The clarity to know what's YOU and what's not
The skill to make confident wardrobe decisions going forward
If you're ready to claim your next chapter—not just think about it, but actually take the first step—I'd be honored to guide you through it.
Lori now has a range of go-to outfits (from her own closet) that she mixes up and accessorizes with ease...
"Having put on 10 lbs since the summer I have been feeling really yucky and picking out my outfits is just miserable.
Thanks to your help, I now have a group of clothes that I can make outfits easily and feel comfortable and confident. And I don’t have to keep trying on things that are too tight, getting depressed and hating my recently expanded butt and hips (which is where my weight goes). "
Lori
Best experience ever!
I have tried MANY times to clear out my closet. This is the only program that has actually worked for me.
Julie F.
Everything is easy now because I have eliminated everything that I didn't like 100%. I make smart purchases and I have no doubts anymore. I just wear what I want to wear. Thank you for this incredible comfort.
