Time to de-clutter your wardrobe




Your individual style tells more about you……. If you feel good about yourself you’ll be more confident and stand straighter!

Wardrobe de-cluttering, time to conquer that clutter…..and clean up your life!

How many times have you braced yourself, taken a deep breath and then opened your wardrobe?  Why, because you have so much stuff in there, one wrong move it will come tumbling down on you or you just stick your hand in the  hope to pull out something decent to wear.

Now it’s time to conquer your wardrobe – a detox, deep cleanse or whatever name you want to use.  It’s been a long time coming, today is the day. Seeing what you have can save you hundreds of pounds, even make you money as you might discover some things you don’t want and sell them on eBay, you’ll get more if they have never been worn! Tempting? Yes, so let’s begin.

Here’s a quick guide to help you:
The first step in any organising process is making crucial and often difficult decisions to provide space for the things truly worth saving, if it doesn’t fit or it is out of style, get rid of it by donating it to someone in need. 

Some garments might be hidden from view; yes you know you haven’t seen the back of your wardrobe in years. Takeout everything and lay it on your bed. Hangers are very important; wire hangers ruin your clothes, through them out!  Opt for plastic (like the ones you see in the shops) or wooden. Most shops will give you the plastic hanger with your garments; just ask if they don’t, some may even give away extra hangers. Uniform hangers enable clothes to hang the at the same level, use the same hangers throughout your wardrobe.  Coats and jackets I suggest investing in the sturdy wooden type.

Think of your wardrobe as your personal boutique. When you walk into a boutique everything is laid out clearly for you to part with your money. Hang blouses together and sort skirts by height, trousers and dresses should have their own “department”.  When your wardrobe is organised by type and hanging length, extra space is gained under for shorter items for shoes, luggage or even a laundry basket. Coats and jackets should be in a separate area.

As part of my Personal Styling Concierge Service I provide Wardrobe Styling service – taking it apart and then re-organising your entire wardrobe. We wear less than 25 per cent of the content of our wardrobe and you will be surprised at the results, it may even feel like you are shopping in your own wardrobe as you will discover things that you never thought you had.
