Name:
Dionne
Where are you from?
I'm a military brat born in Germany. However, I've lived in Atlanta since 2002. So that's home.
Explain your blog or Instagram name?
A random guy on twitter actually gave me the name Closet Whisperer a few years back. My blog name and everything used to be "Iam_Ideal". One day I just tweeted that I like making people feel like they need a certain thing in their closet and I asked what do you call those people. He responded: Closet Whisperer. I thought it was funny but I loved it and it has stuck ever since.
Describe your personal style?
I'd say my style is pretty simple. It's a mix of classic and statement pieces. I know what works for me and I stick with that.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
I usually stick to the same places when I shop. I love those little mom and pop stores in the mall. There are gems in there if you can get past the fluff. Of course, I love TJ Maxx, but I only shop their runway and contemporary section. It never lets me down. H&M has also been stepping it up lately. They were slacking for a minute. I, also, prefer shopping online lately. So, a few of my favorite online stores are revolve, Shopbop, and forward.
What does being a “Frugal Shopaholic” mean to you?
Frugal to me means being smart. I'm still in the pre-rich stage of my life right now but even if I wasn't I would know that you should rarely if ever buy anything at full price. Besides true style doesn't come from how much something cost but how you wear it.
What is a frugal shopaholic tip or trick that can share with our readers?
A frugal tip I have is to always cross check prices. Even if I'm in TJ Maxx and find something I love, I'll look online to see if it's cheaper elsewhere first before I buy it. Also with H&M sign up for their texts or emails and get a 20% off coupon. I don't care if it's already on sale for $5, I will still use that 20% off. Also, a tip for stalking something that goes on sale online and sells out..... If you have google chrome, add the page monitor extension and it will notify you every time something happens on the page. So, say the size of that item comes back in, it'll notify you. Just be quick so it doesn't sell out again.
How can we keep in touch with you?
