Welcoming spring always entails a bit of weeding through our wardrobes. It’s finally time to trade out big coats and chunky sweaters for dresses and lightweight layers. Below are tips for starting fashionably fresh this season.
1. START WITH AN ACTION PLAN
Take inventory of your current wardrobe, and evaluate your personal style and current trending styles. Does it fit your lifestyle? Is it who you are? Does it project your career goals and direction? If there’s room to improve, this new Spring season is ideal to make tweaks to your wardrobe. Create a Pinterest board for style inspirations before you embark on a Spring online and shopping trip to the mall can demonstrate helpful.
2. REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR CLOSET
Correct, all of your closet! Before moving forward with your action plan, you have to know your inventory. The simplest way to see what you want to keep is to remove everything. This also gives you the opportunity to spring clean the walls, drawers, floor and shelves. If you desire the Nordstrom’s boutique effect purchase new hangers. Skinny hangers, multicolors, all black whatever.
3. PURGE
As you’re returning things to your closet, put aside anything that is worn-out, damaged, has red wine stains, etc.
4. SEPARATE YOUR ENTIRE COLLECTION OF CLOTHES
Once you’ve identified the keepers, further separate your entire collection of clothes into two categories: wear now and things that go into storage. Put away your clean Winter warm clothes into vacuum bags and/or storage bins.
5. SHOP—AND THEN STOP SHOPPING
Review your keepers and see what items are needed to make a complete outfit and your budget. 6. MIX AND MATCH I always believe you can create outstanding outfits with a blouse from Macy’s and pants from Target, etc. Mix and match. Get arty.
Happy thinning of the heard.
