Everyday, whether we want them to or not, our clothes make a
statement about who we are. On top of this, what someone wears often has an influence
on their body language and how they feel. How many times have you purchased a
new outfit and, as a result, physically felt a shift in your demeanor? Its
crazy how a great fitting pair of jeans can affect us so much!
In light of this, then, it is so important to put a little effort into planning your wardrobe. This does not mean, however, going out and purchasing a bunch of random pieces to fill your closet. This is because, despite what many people believe, the more clothes you have does not mean the more choices you have. More often than not, an unorganized closet that gets built up, year after year, instead just ends up leaving one feeling overwhelmed. Faced with this mess, our closets progressively fills with pieces that we don’t ever wear, and we instead continuously opt for that same shirt and pants combination. In this way, a smaller amount clothing (that is well thought out) can actually mean you end up wearing more outfit combinations.
YOUR WARDROBE SHOULD WORK FOR YOU! It should be able to help you fashion a “put together” outfit that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and gives off a positive impression to others. If your wardrobe does not do this for you, it’s time to rebuild it properly into a wardrobe that embodies your fashion, contains all your essentials, and comes across as modern and exciting. And the way to get there? Edit, plan and shop.
Edit:In order to determine what should stay and what should go ask yourself:
1. Have I worn this outfit in the last year? 2. Does it fit me? 3. Do I have a lot of this piece? 4. Is it worn out? 5. Is it outdated? 6. Do I feel good when I wear it? 7. Does it enhance the way I look
Frankly answering such questions ought to make it apparent for you which things should stay and which things should go.

Plan:After editing, when constructing your wardrobe, follow the subsequent Wardrobe Rules for all major fashion buys –
1. Be blunt about your lifestyle, and only purchase what you love (what makes you feel confident!).
Your clothes should be in sync with your lifestyle. If you
are a woman who spends her day moving in 30 various directions, then a wardrobe
of skirts and six-inch pumps is probably not the best choice.
2. Stick to a color theme
2. Stick to a color theme
This allows for ideal
mixing and matching, which keeps
your clothing feeling fresh.
3. Quality over quantity
3. Quality over quantity
Buy less but buy the best, whatever your “best” is. Expensive
yet poorly-fitting clothing is a waste.
After you have abided by these basic guidelines, get your core pieces in place (i.e., a pencil skirt, blazer, little black dress, etc.), then indulge on more fun pieces. For spring, try a leather moto jacket, gladiator heels, or a bold colored handbag!
Bottom line? Your clothing should make you feel and look good in all circumstances while also being appropriate. Don’t forget, your wardrobe is there to work for you, not the other way around.
