Best of Boston

You’ve kept the same old clothes in your wardrobe for years while blowing money on discount finds that don’t quite fit or flatter. Take a time-out and call Alisa Neely. She arrives with the demeanor of an old friend, which makes it that much easier to open your closet, pour your heart out, and fill bags with stuff you know you’re never going to wear. “Let’s release this one back into the wild,” she likes to say, referring to that frock you bought in high school. After the great purge, her designer and shop recommendations are spot-on, fully tailored to your look, body, and lifestyle.
