Tips on how to shop your wardrobe!
Have you ever said to yourself "I have nothing to wear"?
I am sure you have. Did you know we only wear 20% of our clothes? So what is the other 80% doing cluttering your space? A quick de clutter and organise solves this dilemma, it's called "Shop your wardrobe".
Step 1
Clear everything from your wardrobe and remove anything that you no longer need or feel great wearing.
Step 2
Donate or give away any clothing in good condition then responsibly dispose of clothes in poor condition.
Step 3
Categorise remaining clothes into the following piles:
• Shirts and t shirts
• Jumpers and jackets
• Pants
• Shoes
Step 4
Don't be surprised to find things you forgot you had or things you love but have found difficult to co- ordinate. They go in a separate pile called "Let's go shopping".
Step 5
Only return the items to your wardrobe that you really love and make you feel great.
Tip: Zone your wardrobe into - work, play and leisure then group colours light to dark
Step 6
Wrap handbags in old pillowslips (to keep the dust off and allow any moisture to escape)
Step 7
Take your remaining clothes that fall into "I forgot I had this" and "I never knew how to wear" pile and put them into the your "Lets go shopping" pile.
Benefits
• It's easy to find what you want when you want it.
• Easy to co-ordinate.
