Get to know your closet

The first step in your journey to look fantastic is to know your closet. How many of us have closet full of clothes that we never wear? Yes, I am talking to you! 

Key tip to remember: Less is more! Choose to invest in good quality garments instead of impulse buying the cheap stuff. It will pay off in the long run. It may not make sense to you right now, but trust me on this. 

Tips to decluttering:

  • quality over quantity
  • understand your style
  • organize - by type, colour, cut etc.
  • move clothes to and from storage based on seasons
  • make inventory (I know, this sounds crazy, right?! But this is especially helpful when you are storing items in boxes off season and you need to find items quickly when the snow suddenly falls)
  • purge regularly (if you have not worn something in 2 years, it is time to let it go)
  • reach out to your daughter's closet, you will most likely find some unexpected jewels that you can borrow (respectfully with reservations)
  • buy garments that you can combine with other items in your closet. See "Think before you buy" article for more details on this topic

Majority of people practice impulse buying. This is where the marketing gets to you. Buy before it's gone, only 2 days left, limited stock etc. Think about it! It is all designed for you to pull the trigger and press that "buy" button. There is nothing wrong with buying, I love it myself! BUT, think and make informed decisions and know why you are buying something.
