Part of my garden shopping haul included some seed potatoes for chitting: I’ve been looking for a few weeks, but most of the local garden centres only seemed to have the same old varieties, and as I now only grow one bed with 10 plants of 2 varieties, I do like to trial different ones each year. Make sure you are hanging the right stuff and folding the right stuff to maximize your space.A mixed bag of a weekend, and one in which I’ve been up to London to a delicious wedding food tasting, bought part of my wedding outfit (hurrah!), had a frustrating time on the ‘phone to Apple to try to resolve my quick-draining phone battery, squeezed in some shopping (20% off at the local garden centre!) and household chores, and finally managed to catch up in the garden before next week’s forecast big freeze. It’s important that you create a functional and intentional space for your clothes and accessories. Yikes, how do you do that? Take a look and figure out if you need to add more shelves, drawers, or hanging space. It’s time to put everything back in its home. If you come across something that is overworn but you love it, you can always replace it! Take the time to figure out what pieces have seen their day and need to move on, or is there something that you can repair your self or pay someone to fix? Don’t get too sad. Do you not like the pattern, color, or details anymore? Is the garment pilling, ripped, stretched out, shrunk, have a broken zipper, etc. If you find something that you haven’t worn in over year ask yourself why. Here is where you get up close and personal with everything in your closet. If there is anything that counts up to the double digits, it’s probably a great idea to start there!
This is simply about the numbers, do the math and figure out what categories of clothing and accessories can stand to be thinned out. There are only so many pairs of jeans and black pants that a woman can wear in her life. How can you get rid of clothes that you don’t even know you have? Step two is about taking inventory of what you have too much of and dwindling it down. Clothes that fit me right now and make me feel good are ready for me in my closet! All of my ‘in-5-more-pounds’ clothes are neatly stored in a bin in the basement waiting for me. I know we all think we are going to lose that last 5 pounds, I’m in that camp! However, if it doesn’t fit right now it can’t be in your closet right now. Have you ever worn a shirt and all through out the day you pull and tug at it because it’s too small or doesn’t fit right? Have you ever worn a pair of pants or jeans and by the end of the day you can barely breathe because they are too small or don’t fit? Have you ever worn something and all day felt frumpy and dumpy because it was too big or didn’t fit? Getting rid of clothes that simply don’t fit and don’t look good on you is the first step. I want to fix that!Įditing your closet can be overwhelming and emotional, I get it! This guide will take you through easy steps in conquering the task and help you to create a wardrobe that delivers the look and confidence you want! The reason is they have the wrong clothes.

When you have clothes in your closet that aren’t right for you, you’ll feel defeated before you’ve even started!

My mission is to empower women and build confidence through a productive and styled wardrobe! One of the key steps in having the look you want is to get rid of the pieces that don't deliver it.
