Michelle remember what was in whose closet. So I thought like gosh I wish there was a way to remember what’s in their closet from where I am. At first I use to run around with a bunch of photos physically in my hand. I then moved to digital photos; however, I had to make so many categories and subcategories to keep track of everything.” In 2015, Angelique published The Closet Club, which consists of short stories of all of her closet jobs over the years. The names of her clients have been changed to protect their identities. This book is a fun beach read containing humor and stories that will give you that “oh wow fashion moment.” Some stories are crazier than others and may leave stunned saying, “oh my gosh that really happens in this world.” Angelique plans to turn The Closet Club into a movie, similar to The Devil Wears Prada but for closets. Angelic attributes her success to hard work and determination. “I work really hard. I pretty much work 24/7.” There are no days off for this entrepreneur who believes the key to success is to never give up. She highlights that there will be moments where you will feel like you can’t do this anymore. She believes you have to keep pushing forward because you will make it, if you stay focused, are organized and plan accordingly. She also thinks that your team is a major component as well. “Whatever you are lacking that’s what you need to pick up. If you are really creative you need someone who is a strategist in your right hand corner. If you’re a straight and narrow person you may need that outside thinker or out of the box person to be your ying to your yang. My thing is whatever you’re flawed at find someone else who is not flawed in that area to work with you.” NURA Magazine 45
