Our Mission & Values

At Garith Consultations, we believe in people that believe in improving themselves, and we believe they can. Through the Your Empowered Closet service, we’ll help you reassess and improve your relationship with one of life’s fundamental requirements – dressing yourself. Through our work, you’ll begin to transform your attitude toward dressing, finding joy, confidence, and opportunity in your wardrobe. You’ll begin to think about “personal style” with an empowered, positive mindset.

Initial Engagement

In just three sessions, you can jump start your journey toward an improved relationship with your clothing. By focusing on the most important aspects of our methodology in a limited span of time, our initial engagement will help keep your costs low and your outcomes high!

Exercise 1: Discovering Your Inspiration

We begin by taking a deeper look at your relationship with the idea and the act of getting dressed, exploring elements of that relationship that cause discomfort. With those touchstones in mind, we then work together to set clear, personalized goals with the aim of creating a moment where you can get dressed differently - seeing the opportunity, not the obstacle or obligation, of the clothes you’re about to wear. We’ll talk about clothes in a light and playful way, thinking about traits every garment can have – shape, color, texture, detail – and use these terms to frame a shift in the way you evaluate the clothes you might put on your body. As we ignite your inspiration, feeding the notion of a creative you nourished by garments that elevate the best of what you aspire to be, we’ll also create a shopping list that propels us into the next step – shopping for those very clothes in a way that feels empowering, creative, and on your own terms.
Exercise 2: Shopping Inside-Out
The standard clothes shopping trip is, for most people, a chore or worse – something to dread and avoid. It can leave you hollow, stressed out, feeling bad about yourself, your body, your appearance, and your potential. This is so frustrating! Most people shop with a focus on how clothing looks, rather than how the clothing makes them feel. Our shopping method asks you to unburden yourself from the fatigue and pain of past shopping excursions gone awry, and to let creativity and a fondness for the things that make you you be your guide. Freeing yourself from judgement, and minimizing the influence that mirrors can exert (mirrors may very well be the enemy!) you’ll find garments that make you feel the way you want to feel, before making sure the look also works for how you want to present yourself.
Exercise 3: Wardrobe – Useful, Refreshed, Empowered
No matter whether we secure one or fifty pieces while shopping, we’ll next turn our attention to another familiar battleground – your closet. Together we’ll sift through your old tshirts, jeans, and anxieties making way for a refreshed attitude and a newfound sense of self. As you blend new garments with your long-term favorite items, you’ll again consider the significance of dressing for how you feel, with a goal in mind, rather than just to meet the expectations of a given situation or to look how somebody else tells you that you should. With the same playfulness and creativity in which we have centered our perspective up until now, we’ll explore your current daily obligations and upcoming priorities – all of which you will need to dress for! We’ll create outfits that support your goals, and showcase you the way you want to feel, and to be seen. You’ll identify garments that facilitate inspiration – and maybe some you can finally retire, leaving you a wardrobe that feels lighter, fresher, and more full of possibility.
… And Beyond
As we nurture the sense of confidence and empowerment that comes from considering, shopping for, and putting on clothing in a way that aligns with your goals and stems from a place of authenticity and self-confidence, you’ll start to feel a shift in the way you look at getting dressed every time you do so. You’ll become more self-assured, and aware of the endless opportunities to be yourself, and support that vision with the clothing you choose to wear. Let Garith Consultations give you the tools to begin building Your Empowered Closet!

Give Yourself the Right Tools for the Job

Clothes are tools, and they function the same way all tools do. Some clothes help you navigate certain situations more effectively, and some get in the way. You’ve been putting clothes on your body for so long, though, that you might have decided that there’s no such thing as “the right outfit” for any occasion, or that all clothes are essentially the same. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

You wouldn’t use a vegetable peeler to assemble your furniture. You wouldn’t use a rotary phone to take selfies from your car.  The proper tool provides us with the most effective support when doing a job.

Some clothes are screwdrivers, some are USB ports, some are pruning shears – every piece of clothing has a different impact on you, especially in a high-stakes moment. No matter your prior experience with clothing, you will be amazed at the impact the right garment can have in the right moment.

Your Empowered Outfit

The right clothes empower you so that in important moments, the very best of yourself is on display, and you show up as authentically you. It’s incredibly valuable to have clothes in your closet that can activate that potential. But how do you identify them?

Stylists, fashion brands, and clothing stores might tell you that they know what clothes will help you achieve your best in those moments – but nobody knows you like you do. The most powerful outfit you will ever wear is one you have intentionally selected for yourself because it makes you feel like you can do anything.

Give It A Try with a Mini-Consultation

Is something important about to happen in your life? Are you excited or scared about something upcoming? Getting engaged? Have a job interview? Up for a promotion? Attending a disciplinary meeting or a court hearing? Giving your big midterm presentation to your class of 4000 undergraduates?

Give yourself an assist in selecting an outfit that, when the time comes, will make you feel as capable and confident as you possibly can! Sign up for Garith Consultations’ Your Empowered Outfit service. In this introductory engagement, we’ll briefly educate you on the basics of empowered dressing, accompany you on a shopping outing to identify, purchase, and prep an outfit for your upcoming happening, and support you in making sure that outfit is ready to wear for your big day.

We’d wish you luck, but you won’t need it – in your clothes, you’ll already KNOW you can do it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Empowered Dressing Services and how we can help you begin to consider and experience a better way of getting dressed.

Our experts work with you to discover what makes you the most uncomfortable or dissatisfied about your current way of getting dressed, and create a personalized strategy within our overall framework to help you find your way to a new approach which will ultimately boost your confidence, enhance your sense of self, and increase your enjoyment in shopping for and putting on clothing.

Our experts work with you to identify one catalytic garment that you may benefit from having in your wardrobe, linked to an upcoming priority, goal, or event of significant. Then we help you shop for, purchase, prepare for use, and ultimately actually dress in that garment even as the big moment, day, or event arrives.

Your clothing is with you all day, every day. Shouldn’t it reflect who you are, or inspire you to keep striving to become who you want to be? By revisiting your relationship with getting dressed, you can literally stock and refine your supply of the tools that will be with you as you encounter the rest of your life. Or, you know, you can just keep using your mom’s screwdriver as a fork because it’s comfortable and you don’t care that much anyway.

We take a playful and creative approach to dressing, guiding you through a series of exercises grounded in the real world necessity and constraints of putting on clothing. We’ll challenge your historic aches and pains, long-held but limiting beliefs and restrictions, and (no pun intended) hang-ups, reshaping your future perspective on the idea of your wardrobe. Check out the step-by-step overview of our process above.

About Tyson’s Research

 

The clothes we wear are in the room with us, no matter how we feel about them. Which means they’re part of the conversation we’re having with others. They also literally influence how we feel – the fabric touching our skin sends a 24/7 stream of sensory information to our brains.  Why do so many of us think of getting dressed as a burden, an annoyance, or a source of fear? Shouldn’t we capitalize on the opportunity of wearing clothes that can help position us for the greatest possible shot at success in every moment of every day?

During his graduate studies in psychology, Tyson W. Garith studied the nature of the relationship between people’s attitudes about their clothes, on a scale from “necessary evil frowny face” to “incredible strategic resource for me and my future,” (a concept termed Fashion Fluency), and their capacity to support themselves during a difficult emotional time, on a scale from “in bed and useless to any and all hope” to “captain of my own national guard, and already deployed!” (a concept termed Self-Efficacy). The research revealed a fairly substantive link between the two states, where higher scores in Fashion Fluency tended to be correlated with higher scores in Self-Efficacy. While additional research is needed to codify the nature of this relationship and its potential impact on individuals who want to improve their relationship with getting dressed, the research underscored that this work has merit and can potentially benefit those who invest in pursuing a deepened understanding of these concepts. The Your Empowered Outfit and Your Empowered Closet services are a direct outgrowth of this research.
