Closet Clean-Out
Identify a Color Scheme
Once you've assessed the entirety of your closet, you'll definitely notice predominant color schemes and palettes. By identifying your color tastes, it will help you to get dressed in a more streamlined fashion.
Cover the Basics
Make sure to have these basics: a white shirt, a wrap dress, black pants, an A-line skirt and a V-neck top. By doing so, you'll never have to worry about pulling together a stylish outfit last minute because all of these key pieces will be at your disposal.
Experiment with Hair and Makeup
Change up your style without adding any more clutter to your closet by trying out new hairstyles and makeup techniques. Mastering a new beauty look can be equally as satisfying as working a new fashion trend, and it won't complicate your newly streamlined wardrobe.
Capsule Wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe is essentially a mini wardrobe comprised of all your favorite, most versatile pieces. The idea is to limit yourself to those pieces for a set amount of time, during which no shopping is allowed. Most people stick to roughly 35 to 40 pieces, including tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear and shoes. The rationale behind this is that most of the time, when we buy fun new pieces, we simply end up wearing old favorites.
The Rule of Three
When it comes to consolidating your collection of clothes, we suggest following the 'Rule of Three'. For example, when deciding which shoes to keep and which to toss, take each category (sneakers, flats, heels) and aim to have a classic pair, a statement pair and one last pair that falls somewhere between the two. This method tends to work best with shoes, but can easily be applied to the rest of your wardrobe.
Unsubscribe
Most of us are subscribed to more fashion and clothing email lists than we'd care to admit. While it may seem harmless, that relentless stream of emails may be hindering you from reaching your ultimate fashion potential. After all, there will always be another sale, so keep it simple and avoid the temptation.
