The situation with which all members of the fairer sex are faced is certainly a wardrobe full of clothes, but at the same time our eternal problem is that there is nothing smart to wear in it. Our tips will help you to air out your wardrobe, in which you will now have room (and money in your wallet) for new fashion acquisitions without a bad conscience.
The first and most important rule when organizing a wardrobe is brutal honesty. Girls are often faced with the problem of quickly getting too attached to clothes and fashion accessories, so it is important that (if we really want to do something about all the clothes in the closet) we are relentless with ourselves.
And how to start? First, create a good atmosphere by tuning yours to repeat favorite playlist. Then arrange all the clothes in piles - jeans together, skirts together, dresses here, sweaters there, t-shirts in another pile and so on. From each pile, choose one or two pieces of clothing that you will absolutely keep - that is, those pieces that you wear regularly and with pleasure. Next comes the hard part: choosing from the remaining clothes those that you will put back in the closet and those that you will throw away, sell or donate. The following five questions can help you with this:
1. Have I worn this in the last twelve months? If the answer is no, it's time to come to terms with the fact that the reason for this is somewhere else and not that "there was no right opportunity". If you haven't worn something in 365 days, then it's highly unlikely that you will anytime in the future. (And this also applies to that dress you tried on at least three times this year, but never left the house in anyway. Side.)
2. Is this garment right for me? Honesty is key in this matter. If you have jackets in your closet that are uncomfortably tight or sweaters that have shrunk in the dryer, it's time to get rid of them. Do the same with pants that are too tight or too wide that don't flatter your figure, and with all shirts and tops that either flop shapelessly around your torso or come down to your navel when you get dressed. Also, throw away any inappropriately short skirts, compared to which your boys' t-shirts cover more.
3. Is this garment damaged in any way - torn, soiled, stretched or faded? If the answer to this question is yes, the procedure is as follows: throw away all clothes with intractable stains, and for torn ones, consider whether you will really repair them. If it would be too much effort to sew a button that has fallen off a shirt that has been out of fashion for a few years anyway, then get rid of it. Do the same with any stuffed sweaters, t-shirts with a strange smell, pants with dirty or torn hems, and jackets whose original color has been washed beyond recognition.
4. How do I feel when I wear this garment? This question is crucial in deciding what to keep and what not to keep. If you don't feel confident and comfortable in something, then donate or sell it. This goes for all the jeans that don't make your legs look their best, all the t-shirts from ex-boyfriends that bring you back unpleasant memories and all the clothes of those colors that make your hair, skin and eye color fade and make your colleagues ask you in the morning if you may be sick.
5. Would you buy this garment if you were shopping right now? With this question, consider whether the garment is at all modern or whether it expresses your current personal style. Also, think about how many similar pieces you have: five floral tops, nine striped T-shirts and six sweaters of the same color are simply too many. Also consider how useful a particular piece is: if you can't think of at least three different ways or occasions to wear a certain skirt, then get rid of it.
Once you've made a selection of clothes you don't want to keep, consider which ones you're going to throw away straight away in the trash, which you will be sold and which ones donated. The Internet offers you a huge number of opportunities to sell or exchange clothes that you have accumulated through unfortunate purchases. Take pictures of clothes and make ads on portals like them My boutique, My closet, Flea or in a group My second hand stuff on Facebook. Set a time limit (say 2 months) in which you want to sell the clothes, and after that time, donate any unsold items to those who cannot afford as much as you can.
And the result of a thorough purge? A neat and more airy wardrobe, in which you can find yourself faster, a few euros more in your wallet, a good feeling because you have done a good job by donating, and of course the fact that you will make your next fashion purchases without a bad conscience!
