Before you head out to hunt for new pieces for your spring wardrobe, renovate it first. Decide what you are going to keep, recycle or enjoy once more.
- Clean up your closet and storage areas. If clothes and shoes are showing too much wear, let them go. It’s too easy to stuff old, ill-fitting underwear and lingerie in drawers. Make room for something new and fresh, you’ll feel great.
- When you clean out your closet, you’ll be surprised to find some clothes you love, but have been forgotten. If you don’t see them, you won’t wear them.
- Haven’t worn something in a year? Keep looking at it but putting it back, hoping one day it will fit you again? Probably time to say goodbye.
- Don’t keep things for the wrong reasons. Sentimental, high price, it was a gift etc. The best test is put it on and ask yourself, “how do I feel?” If it makes you feel really good, then keep it.
- Great deal but not your style? Then it’s not really a great deal. Remember, once you’ve donated it, someone else will get the pleasure of wearing it and the money won’t be wasted after all.
- Shoes worn, missing heals? Badly scuffed? Good shoes are worth repairing, but cheap shoes should be tossed.
