Tips on Organizing Your Wardrobe
Clearing out your wardrobe can be a grueling task but you know it’s long overdue and no one else is going to volunteer for the role. It’s one of those items on the ‘to do’ list that never actually gets done until you lose a favourite item of clothing amongst the clutter.
So, here are some stress free tips on organising your wardrobe. Professional wardrobe consultants exist, what an awful job, but with these tips you shouldn’t need one.
Objectivity goes out the window and irrational behaviour takes over when it comes to sorting out clothes. We know we will never wear some of the garments we keep hold off but we just can’t seem to part with them. I suggest roping a friend, the one who tells it like it is, to help you discard the clothes that are simply wrong.
The best method is to separate the clothes into 3 piles. These consist of the keep pile - clothes that fit well, are not worn out and are worn frequently. The maybe pile includes clothes that you don’t wear very often or clothes that never seem to go out of style.
The last pile is the goodbye pile. As you are probably aware, this consists of clothes that are ill fitting, old or those that make your friend say ‘what possessed you to buy that’? After you have your 3 mountains of clothes, you should return to the maybe pile and consider the items on that pile again.
