Organize Your Wardrobe

Get rid of the garments and accessories that are not flattering, that you’re not wearing or that are worn out. And organize your garments by type and color.

This step allows you to see exactly what you do have and makes room for purposefully chosen new items.

For some of you it's also the most painful step! However, it really is essential to your wardrobe makeover.

Follow the approach detailed here.
Plan Your Wardrobe

With a detoxed and organized wardrobe it's time to take stock of what you have and what new outfits you can make by combining your existing clothes in new and exciting ways.

As you go through your current wardrobe auditing and planning you will identify what you need to complete outfits and what entirely new outfits you could use.

You don't need a lot of clothes, clothing capsules are the key.
Go Shopping!

And now, finally, you're fully prepared to go shopping.

Maximise your shopping efficiency and success by researching the shops you will visit. You need shops that sell the items you are looking for and whose clothing styles suit your style personality.

Don't forget to take your color swatch, style shopping guide and shopping list with you.
Have fun!
