Revamp Your Wardrobe!

This amazing wardrobe was found on archiexpo

Do you ever find yourself staring at a floor covered in clothes and saying "I have no clothes! There is nothing I can wear!!" Well my freind you have develpoed the "I have nothing to wear" syndrome. Don't panic, you'll be cured in just three simple steps.

Time to say goodbye

This can pretty much be described as hardcore spring cleaning. Be tough, stay strong, and you will get through it! I like to empty my entire cupboard and draws, and go through each item one by one. The keeps you can hang back up neatly and the throw aways can go in a bag ready to donate to the second hand store. "But I want to keep everything" you say? I know for a fact that you don't wear half the items in there... here are some guidelines to follow:

• If you have not worn it in a year or more, chuck it.
• If you don't fit it and don't see yourself being able to any time soon, chuck it.
• If you try it on and don't feel 100% in it for whatever reason, chuck it.
• If it has holes or needs fixing chuck it, unless you truely will fix it.
• Don't lie to yourself, I know you love it, but will you wear it!?

Evaluate

Look through your clothes once again, they may feel light on but thats A OK! Take note of what you are missing, do you now have no jeans? Are you going to need more shirts for work? We can worry about filling in the gaps later... for now lets go through your chuckout pile and what you should do with them.

Bin
Underwear
Socks
Anything broken, holey or ripped.

Give aways
Any sort of everyday clothing like t-shirts, jeans, skirts, flat shoes, jumpers.

Sell it!
Formal wear like dresses, heels, suits, ties, formal shirts, skirts and jackets.
Anything with a big brand name you can also sell if it's in good condition.

Fix it
If the hem is just too long, or a zip is broken but you really love it and would wear it - it's worth the effort.

It's great to donate  clothes to people in need and also second hand stores, but if you are going to need some new clothes on a budget why not have a swap meet with freinds and family? Set a date, have some cake and swap your clothes! Everything left over can be donated.

The Fun Begins!

So you've swapped clothes with your freinds, you've sold a few things on ebay, and you've donated tnow it's time to fill your wardrobe up again! Remember that list of clothes you need? It's time to go get them!!! Here is a check list to make it a bit easier for you:

• Work clothes. Have enough outfits to get you through a whole week.
  
• Formal/date clothes. These can be expensive so limit yourself to what you need.
  
• Casual clothes. Jeans, tops, sweaters and skirts, have fourteen outfits (you can mix and match.)
  
• Shoes. Flats, heels, runners, boots. You'll need at least one of each.
• Winter. Jackets and jumpers, it's up to you what you need depending on where you live. - Don't forget they have to match your clothes!
  
• Cleaning clothes. One or two outfits that you are happy to get dirty.
• Accessories. These are endless!
• Underwear. Make sure they're comfy and appropriate for your clothes.

Get the most out of your clothes.
We don't all have a million dollars to spend on a new wardrobe unfortunately, so the best way to combat limited clothes is to buy plain clothes that can easily be mixed and matched. You can dress them up, having a variety of accessories to add to your outfits is essential. If you find you always have "nothing to wear" stock up on plain tops! You can wear them with a patterened skirt or pants. You can add coloured scarves, belts, bowties, necklaces, hats, shoes, hair accessories. There is no end with what you can do with an imagination!

On a side note pretty please take care of your clothes correclty! Follow the instructions on the care label and your favourite jacket will last a whole lot longer!
