At the beginning of each new season, I always tend to say " I have nothing to wear" and I am confident a lot of you feel the same way. Given the current pandemic situation, I am less likely to run out to the mall frantically searching for the cutest dress and sometimes, it's easy for us to overlook and forget about what we already have stashed away in our closet. This weekend was a chance for me to rock some of my summer dresses, and it was a huge reality check for me as I started to go through my things. Taking some time to carefully go through your pieces will be more beneficial than you realize! Below are a few reasons to motivate you to go through your current items.
Save money
Is there something else you want to save up for? I know for myself I want to purchase some nice patio future so this is motivation for me to keep money in my wallet and away from clothing for a little bit. Think of something you want to save up for and use that for motivation.
Identify gaps in your wardrobe
It is important to have your staples down pat. My suggestion is to make a list of everyday things you need and fill in the gaps from there. An example of this for me are undershirts/tank tops. I always do an inventory to determine if I need to purchase more as I frequently wear and wash mine.
Re-discover long lost pieces
It's easy to forget about that gorgeous dress you bought last summer and paid $100 for! Simply taking the time to go through your closet helps you find those pieces that you forgot about and re-kindles a fond memory related to those pieces.
Challenge yourself to wear everything in your wardrobe at least once.
It's important to get more than one wear out of your clothes. When I am buying clothes, I try to think of atleast 2-3 places I can wear it. If its a one-time piece, I definitely take this into consideration and I only purchase it if I truly love it. Think about these things and your closet will give you a little bit of extra mileage.
I hope these tips are helpful and somewhat motivates you to shop your own closet!
Love,
Big T
