{Click on the pic for original source}
As part of the Spring Cleaning Series, we have already cleaned our makeup brushes so now it’s time to get into your wardrobe!
Doing this mini re-haul will make it exactly 100% easier to get dressed in the morning, will make sure your not trawling through old clothes & will remind you exactly what you have in there so you don’t end up with 5 pairs of faded denim, cutoff mini shorts.
Step 1:
The weather is warming up & you don’t want to be wading through scarves & gloves to find your sun hat. Take everything you know you won’t need for the next few months {including shoes and accessories} pop it in a box or bag & store it in a safe place. This could include beanies, scarves, coats, thick socks & wintery underwear and pyjamas. When the weather starts to get chilly again just pull them out of hiding.
Step 2:
Once you have removed your winter clothes, start trying on the summer clothes you plan to wear.
If…
- They no longer fit
- Anything looks a little old
- They are no longer on trend
Donate them!
If…
- You could never get that raspberry vodka stain out of your favourite festival top
- You have literally worn your clothes to death
- Your swimmers worked so hard last summer that they are see-through/saggy
Bin them!
If you come across something that you can’t part with, or your not sure if you might need it later on… add it to your winter pile & put it in storage, if you don’t go looking for it all Summer, man-up and get rid of them. Clutter = bad!
What you are now left with is a {much smaller} wardrobe full of clothes you will actually wear.
Step 3:
Take a look at what’s left & write a list of what you are missing.
Step 4:
Shop!
And there is your mini wardrobe re-haul. I do this at the beginning of every Summer and Winter & it’s like hitting re-fresh on your entire wardrobe.
This is only the mini version, if you want a more full-on wardrobe makeover check out this post.
