5 steps to a feel good wardrobe
Thursday, February 25th, 2010| First of all, a wardrobe weed is essential. Throw away items with the ‘ugh’ factor. Any items that get the ‘ugh’ reaction must be assigned to charity, friends who look good in them or recycling! Get rid of any items you haven’t worn in the last 12 months. If you are passionately and sentimentally attached and can’t bear to be parted from them, put them away (in the attic for instance) or somewhere where you can’t see them. If you haven’t missed them over the following 6 months, then they absolutely have to go!
Pick out the items in your wardrobe that you do like and think about why you enjoy wearing them and what it is about them that suits you. Consider your personal style, what do you like your clothes to say about you? Learn to understand your body shape and find cuts and fabrics that work with your bodyline and flatter you the most. When you have done a bit of self-assessment you can start doing some research into finding the right clothes for you. Pick out the retailers with ranges that appeal to you and have the right cuts and fabrics that suit you. Recession-proof your wardrobe today by following the above guidelines and avoid making costly mistakes when shopping.
