Patrica Belanger had no idea that her time spent as a Television Host and Producer would be the inspiration for Patrica’s Closet. “When you are on camera covering high profile events, you have to look fabulous which means your wardrobe and accessories must be chic, polished and professional,” says Patrica.
She learned the tricks of the trade as to what colors to wear and what style of clothing worked best while working with some of the best stylists in the industry who taught her that wearing quality clothing made from beautiful fabrics was definitely the way to go.
High end designer clothing is not inexpensive and Patrica wanted to figure out a way to gain access to fabulous clothing that she could make available to women at a fraction of the retail price, while teaching them how to dress well in colors and cuts that best suited their figures.
She started by taking inventory from her own closet which consisted of very high end designer clothing and when a friend asked if she could take a look at what she had, she spent the afternoon dressing her in a series of outfits that looked amazing on her. Her friend received so many compliments from her new look, that soon other women were calling Patrica, wanting that same transformation done on them.
As word got out, Patrica was able to gain access to women with large wardrobes, who loved to shop at high end retailers, where price was not an issue. She now acts as a clothing broker for these women who ship her designer clothing, shoes, purses and accessories, which she sells at incredibly low prices. Much of her merchandise comes in new with the original price tags still on them and the sizes range from 2 – 20.
While the women love being able to buy clothing at such low prices, the real value in shopping at Patrica’s Closet is the personalized consulting service that she offers to each of her clients. She hand picks items from her large inventory and acts as their personal shopper and stylist, dressing them from head to toe. She knows exactly what colors and cuts they should be wearing and does not charge an additional fee for her expertise; it is all part of the service. She loves spending time transforming women from ordinary to amazing and teaching them that what they wear and how they look can have a tremendous impact on both their personal and business lives. Patrica states that “women think nothing of investing money in their business cards, promotional material and websites and need to remember the importance of investing in themselves, as first impressions do matter”.
Her customers love the whole private shopping experience and that combined with Patrica’s outgoing personality and incredible enthusiasm makes shopping at Patrica’s Closet something her clients rave about and definitely look forward to!
