Give Your Wardrobe a Seasonal Check-Up

/0 Comments/in /by

The change of season is the perfect time to take a fresh look at your wardrobe. As you switch out seasonal clothing, use these simple guidelines to decide what deserves a place in your closet, and what’s ready to go.

KEEP IT IF…

  • You wear it at least once a year.
  • It fits comfortably.
  • It flatters you and makes you feel good wearing it.
  • It’s appropriate for your age and current lifestyle.
  • It works with at least three other items in your wardrobe.

LET IT GO IF…

  • It’s outdated or no longer suits your style.
  • It’s stained, torn, or damaged beyond repair.
  • It’s too big or too small.
  • It doesn’t flatter you or you don’t feel good wearing it.
  • You haven’t worn it in a year or simply never wear it.

Remember: A closet filled with clothes that fit your body, your lifestyle, and the person you are today, allows for less stress and more order.

Winter wardrobe prep

/0 Comments/in /by

I know it’s only October, and you don’t want to be reminded of the cold winter days ahead. But they’re coming. Soon we’ll be dressing in layers, wearing wool socks and sweaters, and pulling on winter boots. A bit of winter wardrobe prep can make the transition easier.

Preparation steps:

  1. Wash tank tops, shorts, bathing suites, and summer dresses, before packing them away until next summer.
  2. Evaluate the items you’re packing away to determine if they’re worth keeping
  3. Swap out summer hats, scarves, leggings, footwear, pocketbooks, and jewelry for winter options.
  4. Add fall layering pieces to your wardrobe. This includes turtlenecks, slippers, bathrobes, and warmer Pjs.
  5. Once it gets colder add winter coats, gloves, and boots.

Hi,
      Happy New Year! How are you? What does your 2019 have in store for you? Any plans to organize, reduce, and let go of stuff? If so, I’d like to hear about your plans, please email me. This year I’m excited to plan a town recycling event and to embrace minimalism.

Closet Clean Out
Did you know the best day to clean a closet is laundry day? On laundry day everything you like is in the laundry being washed and your least-favorite items are still in your closet. So, this is the perfect time to make decisions on what hasn’t been worn.
Did you know that we wear 20% of what we own 80% of the time? Laundry day is the best day to scrutinize that unworn 80% and consider giving some(or all) of it away.
Therefore, on your next laundry day, I’d like to encourage you to be decisive about your unworn clothes, while your favorite clothes are spinning and rinsing. If you need some help deciding what to keep and what to let go of, below are a few more articles that will offer some guidelines and direction.
Please share with me your results.

Resources for Less
In keeping with the theme of reducing the amount of clothing we have, I’d like to introduce you to Project 333 by Courtney Carver. It is the minimalist fashion challenge that invites you to dress with 33 items or less for 3 months. I have not personally done this challenge, but I continually weed through my closet and practice seasonal purging of my wardrobe. If you try Project 333 I’d love to hear about your experience. Please share.
I feel like I must mention the hot topic of Marie Kondo who is the author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. She has a new Netflix series that is creating a lot of buzz. All I want to say is that if it works for you, do it, but if it doesn’t that’s okay!
