Do you stand in front of your closet wondering just what to wear every morning? It could be a huge letdown day by day to gaze at the hundreds and thousands of bucks ‘ worth of clothing that you have purchased, only to still feel that you do not have any attire. Talk about depressing. Yet the cure isn’t nearly as complex or complicated as you may well think, so take note.
Regularly with a few little tweaks to your wardrobe you can take it from good to great, or from non-performing to being a star performer in no time flat. The key, though, is in knowing how to put things together in a way that can work for you.
Create a strategy. Buying clothing piece-meal or by chance without any thought to what goes with how and what you’ll put outfits together, can lead to a big disconnect in your wardrobe. Take stock of what you have got and know what you need. Then when you shop, ensure that what you buy goes with at least 3 items you already own to avoid the ‘one hit wonder ‘ or the item that proves more high-priced because because you have got to buy something else to wear it with.
As an alternative, get in your closet and ask what you can add that will create more outfits using what you already own. Would a simple color cardigan go with half your dresses and all of your tees? Put it on your list! Do you need the right shoes to wear with all of your dress pants? Add those too!
Ask why you are not wearing what you’ve got and if the answer is that you don’t have the right pieces, be aware of what those are and whether they will actually maximize your wardrobe – or merely supply a quick solution for one outfit. Your aim is to bring in things that will go the distance and that you will turn to time and time again for easy dressing. A working wardrobe is your goal.
