Spring clean your wardrobe!
Posted 2 September 10Here are some great tips to keep your wardrobe fresh!
Do you have any suggestions?
Cleaning out your wardrobe is liberating and should be done at every season’s end. By sorting out the clutter, you might find you actually have more to wear.
For each garment, ask yourself the following questions. If you answer ‘no’ more than once for any item, seriously consider getting rid of it.
1. Does it look good on me?
2. Do I wear it?
3. Do I love it?
Start three piles: ‘Yes’, ‘No‘, and ‘Maybe’.
If you have answered honestly, the ‘Yes’ pile will be items you wear every day, cherished pieces, and special-occasion frocks. Throw out the tatty clothes in your ‘No’ pile and give clean clothes to charity or sell online. Finally, ask yourself the three key questions for each item in the ‘Maybe’ pile… but try the garments on this time for a new perspective.
WARDROBE TIPS
- Don’t keep garments in the hope you will drop three sizes one day;
spoil yourself with new clothes if you reach that goal. - Do keep family heirlooms and designer pieces (your daughters will love you for it). Just pack them away.
- To save space, hang identical items together. For example, put all your white singlets on the one hanger.
- Winter woollies are bulky; pack them away into vacuum bags, lay them
flat in your drawers, or a use a spare bedroom closet. - Turn all your coathangers in the same direction, with the hook facing the back. It looks neat and makes browsing easier. Using the same type of coathanger throughout looks streamlined. See the recyclable hangers at www.greenhanger.com.au for a great eco choice.
