Is your closet brimming with clothes yet somehow, you still have nothing suitable for the occasion?
Looks like it is time to reorganize your wardrobe.
What you don’t see, you probably wouldn’t wear. The perfect outfit for the occasion is hiding somewhere in your closet. You just don’t see it. You have to clear the clutter before you can find your outfit.
Step 1. Go through everything in your closet to see if it still fits you. If the item fits, put it in the keep pile. If it doesn’t, put it in the discard pile.
Step 2. Go through the keep pile. Is anything there really out of fashion? Don’t wait for it to get back in fashion. If that look ever comes back, you can buy a new, more updated version. Put all these outdated items in the discard pile.
Step 3. If you are broke, you can sell the items in the discard pile on eBay. If you want to help the needy, you could donate the clothes to a worthy charity. If you like second-hand clothes, you could hold a clothes swap session where you exchange these clothes with your pals for something you would probably wear.
Step 4. Now that you have significantly pared down your keep pile, time to sort it out. What are the items not appropriate for the current season. Fold these up nicely and store them in a drawer lined with scented paper so they will smell fresh when the season is right for them.
Step 5. Iron the clothes you have left in your keep pile. Sort them by type of clothing and color and prepare to keep them in your closet. Do the same for your bags, shoes, and the rest of your accessories.
Step 6. Pack your keep clothes and accessories back into the closet, sorted by color, type, and function, so you can find what you want at a glance.
Step 7. Take stock of your wardrobe. Do you really have nothing to wear?
Step 8. Look at your daily schedule. Do you have clothes that will carry you through all the events in your daily schedules? Write down the events that you really don’t have anything to wear too.
Look through your appointments. Do you have something to wear for every one of these appointments? For every one of these functions? Take note of the functions or appointments which you need to buy clothes for.
Now go through all the events where you probably would not have anything to wear. What are the items that could take you through these events? List them down. Then go and shop for them.
Here are some basics every woman should own, in her current size.
