With the change of season, now is a good time to assess your wardrobe. What’s missing? What do you have Waaaaayyyy toooooo much of? What’s in good condition and what needs replacing?
This is just what I did the other day, and found I needed some cool dresses, something a little dressy and some more t-shirts. A shopping trip ensued and lucky for me I found nearly all I needed in one session – 8 new items. (I am not a keen shopper.)
On bringing my haul home, I took the time to look through the wardrobe again. To make it all fit, something had to go. Actually, at least 8 things had to go. Out with the tatty t-shirts and out with the things that I haven’t worn (for good reason!). I don’t have anything in my wardrobe that doesn’t fit. There are a couple of things which are tucked away in a drawer. But if you have a closet full of things for “some day”, now’s the time to rethink.
Finally, with the change of season, it’s a good time to move the coming season clothes front and centre and the out of season items to the far reaches.
If this sounds all too daunting, I’ll happily help. We can come to you and have your wardrobe working for you. And via the miracle of virtual organising, we can even help those who are far, far away.
Great advice for anyone. Thanks Angela!
Sometimes I have to get rid of items that are wearing out BEFORE I’ve bought new ones to replace them, because if I don’t feel a gaping hole in my wardrobe, I’ll keep wearing the old stuff, neither looking nor feeling my best. Literally having nothing to wear for a certain occasion will force me to get out to the stores, but and not come home empty-handed!
