In this week's webisode, Visual Therapists Joe Lupo and Jesse Garza counsel Gossip Girl's Margaret Colin about how to develop a wardrobe that works for her in two easy parts: an active wardrobe and an archive.  In simple terms, your everyday wear goes in one place and your fancy-pants stuff goes somewhere else, i.e., the ONLY things Joe & Jesse should see in your wardrobe if they made a surprise visit are pieces that either get a lot of wear or knock-out gems that you pull out for every special occasion.  The classic rule of thumb?  If it hasn't seen the light of day in over two years, get rid of it.  The 24/Savvy rule of thumb?  Something comes in your closet, something goes out.

Joe & Jesse of Visual Therapy get serious about making plans with Gossip Girl's Margaret Colin: a style plan, a plan for what you've already got, a plan for what you need, and a plan for how to buy. When in doubt? Make a plan.

You know when you open a large gift box and the first thing that comes to mind is "you shouldn't have" and what you really mean "you really, really shouldn't have, have you seen the size of my apartment?  What on EARTH do you think I'm going to do with a 20 pound commemorative reenactment of Scrooge's birth anew as a generous chap???"
