Declutter Your Wardrobe in 5 Easy Steps: A Practical Guide to Editing Your Wardrobe
Good morning, gorgeous! 🌸
How many times do you stand in front of your wardrobe and think, “I have nothing to wear!!!” even though your wardrobe is bursting with clothes?
It’s not that we don’t have enough, but maybe we just don’t have the right things. It’s so easy to accumulate items we don’t wear or that no longer suit us.
But don’t worry my lovely, I’m here to help you take control of your wardrobe and feel fabulous every time you open those doors. Here are my top 5 steps to declutter your wardrobe and create a space that truly works for you!
Step 1: Take EVERYTHING Out of Your Wardrobe
I know this sounds like a big job, but trust me, it’s the best place to start.
Empty your entire wardrobe onto your bed or a clean floor. Yes, all of it! This helps you see everything you’ve got and gives you a fresh perspective.
It can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s also a little bit freeing – like a fresh start! You’ll be able to see how much stuff you’ve got and start thinking about what you actually wear. Plus, it’s a great way to remind yourself of pieces you might have forgotten about. Win-win! 😊
Step 2: Assess What You Actually Wear
Here’s the fun part: Go through each item and ask yourself, “When was the last time I wore this?” If it’s been over a year, it’s probably time to part ways (unless it’s because you have nothing to wear it with! We’ll get to that bit!). The goal is to focus on clothes that make you feel good and that you actually wear. Be realistic about what fits your current lifestyle, flatters your shape and personal style.
It’s time to let go of those “maybe one day” items that have been hanging around for years. As hard as it may be, be honest with yourself. If it’s not serving you now, it’s not going to serve you later. ❤️
Step 3: Sort into 3 Piles
Now that you’ve assessed your pieces, let’s get sorting. Make three piles:
Toss: Worn-out items that are past their best – no one wants to keep those frayed edges and faded fabrics hanging around!
Keep: Items you love, wear often, and feel fabulous in.
Donate/Sell: Clothes that are still in good condition but no longer suit your style, size, or needs.
This system is super simple and will help you make decisions quickly. And don’t be afraid to let go – the less clutter you have, the more space you have for clothes that truly fit you and your lifestyle!
Step 4: Organise What’s Left
Now that you’ve trimmed down your wardrobe, it’s time to get organised! Fold or hang everything neatly so you can see your options clearly. You can organise by type (e.g. tops, trousers, skirts) or by colour – whichever feels best for you!
Pro tip: Invest in some lovely hangers that will help keep your clothes looking neat and tidy. A tidy wardrobe will make it so much easier to get dressed in the morning. Plus, it’s like having your own little boutique right at home. Who doesn’t want that? 😍
Step 5: Add a Few Key Pieces
Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to think about what’s missing from your wardrobe. Take a look at your “keep” pile – does anything need replacing? Perhaps a new pair of jeans, a cute jacket, or a versatile dress?
This is where I come in! I’d love to help you add those key pieces (your ‘best friends’) that’ll complete your wardrobe and make it work even harder for you. Whether it’s updating your basics or adding a pop of colour, I’m here to guide you in choosing items that suit you and your lifestyle perfectly.
