Put some music or your favorite podcast on in the background and dive in!
If you think it is boring, I might change your mind saying…
Great reasons to do a wardrobe audit
It is a great way to find forgotten treasures, you can help others donating what you dont’t love anymore, you will be saving time when looking for what to wear AND you make space for what you really love and for new stuff you have been flirting, Almost forgot… You can make money selling your items 💸
What is a wardrobe audit?
It is decluttering and organizing your wardrobe, leaving an wardrobe that reflects your actual style and lifestyle.
Why should I do an wardrobe audit?
Just have benefits, isn’t only about organizing (what by the way will save your time when looking for that specific shirt), but leaving a wardrobe that reflects your actual style and lifestyle. Our style and lifestyle keeps changing and it is normal, we don’t have the same style when we were 16 years old, so it helps let it go things that are just occupying space without giving any return to you.
Which frequency is recommended to do an WA?
Depends of each individual. If you have only feel items and keep it rotating them, maybe there is no need for you to do an intense wardrobe audit, however if you are like me (guilty!) and have closet fully packed, then it is better doing it each season.
A good time to do it is at the end of each season, or in the beginning of a new one.
Tips ツ
When doing your wardrobe audit consider…
1) Your goal is having a wardrobe that represents your style and your lifestyle, so let go what isn’t working for you anymore and is just occupying space.
✦
2) Divide your “let it go” pile in 3:
1) Sell it, Swap and Accept offers, 2) donate and 3)recycle.
-> Share your “Sell it, swap & accept offers” pile on you your digital closet at Fashion PWR marketplace, join us.
✦
3) One of the decisive questions that I ask myself when I am not sure about if I should keep it or not is: did I wear it in the past 12 months?
You can also use “the keep it or let it go decision maker” below. There you can get some help deciding in a fun way!
✦
4) During the process put away the clothes which are out of season (take them out of your everyday wardrobe), leave only the clothes you wear or might wear (but you still love and see yourself wearing).
✦✦✦
♡ A reminder from my heart: be honest with yourself and with your piece of clothing! That means if you are not really using it because it isn’t your current style, size or you like but don’t really see yourself wearing it… let it go and make space for something you will really enjoy. The bonus is: you can make someone else’s day with something which was just gathering dust in your closet.
Quiz – Should I keep it or is it time to let it go?
I agree that it takes time, and in my case it takes more time for me to decide what I should keep or let go than necessarily organizing. That is why I decided to share this quiz, to make it easier for us who are indecisive.
