These days, Ann Fitzpatrick, director of the personal-shopping team at the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills, cleans out her closet with surgical precision.

　　如今，比佛利山(Beverly Hills)的萨克斯第五大道(Saks Fifth Avenue)店个人购物组的负责人安·菲茨帕特里克(Ann Fitzpatrick)以堪比外科医生的精准度对她的衣柜进行清理。

　　Thirteen years ago, before she moved into a home with smaller closets, Ms. Fitzpatrick purged her wardrobe of pieces she no longer needed, including dated dresses from Paris that she still loved but had stopped wearing.

　　十三年前，在她搬进一个衣柜较小的房子前，她把自己不再需要的衣服都处理掉了，包括从巴黎买的连衣裙，这些连衣裙已经有些年头了，她仍很喜欢，不过已经不再穿了。
