Full closet but nothing to wear? SAME! Luckily I think i've came up with a fabulous and affordable solution. ;)
One of the Biggest problems I face everyday (sometimes twice a day) is finding the perfect outfit. I often find myself standing, staring at my closet hoping to find something new and inspiring that wasn't there the night before.
Its no secret that like most girls I love to shop, Yet when I go to get ready each day those same dresses & tops are hanging there saying "pick me, pick me". Not that I don't love each individual piece. I just do know where the magic of the outfit goes after that first night debuting it out. Facebook is no help either! A few shots of it online and the fantastic outfit is soon to be old news.
SOLUTION : "TOSS" pile <3
One afternoon go and take EVERY article of clothing out of your closet.
Go through the whole pile of clothing and decide if its a KEEP or TOSS .
TOSS (If your looking at something and one of these lines pop into your head …Its time to give it the boot.)
*You haven't worn it in the past 6 months to a year.
*You wore it that one fabulous night wherever, who cares if it doesn't fit anymore - great memories.
* Spent SO much on that… Can't just give it away one day it will come in handy.
* I'll go on that amazing new diet- I'll fit into it again someday.
* I used to wear it all the time, its so me. Who care its faded.
* Got a great deal on it ! 5 months ago … Only been worn once.
* You've had forever but never wear.
* Its HIGH designer tag… 6 seasons ago. Doesn't look that great on but it still says Dolce and Gabbana.
Personal Note : Try and detach your self from your clothes. Your closet will look empty but you'd be surprised how quick it will fill back up with new adorable outfits you love !
Huge pile of clothes ready to "TOSS" away? Theres 3 ways to handle it.
1) Trade your toss pile with a friend who's style is a bit different then yours. kind of a "one man's junk is another mans treasure" sort of thing.
2) Bring it into Platos Closet. (Brilliant idea for a store!) There they will look at what you have and if theres something they think they can use they will pay you for it and your off you the mall for something new and exciting.
3) Drop it off to Goodwill - You'll feel great & out of sight out of mind.
Hotbynight Fun Fact : You should do this about 3 - 4 times a year. every new season is a good rule* It will get easier and easier once you see how great it feels to be seen in a fresh new outfit it will become addicting. ;)
Heres a few pictures of gorgeous closets. Just to inspire you into the organization mood ;) My heart literally beats faster. Strange? I hope not.
One day ill have a closet like the one below (fingers crossed !!)
