Wardrobe planning revamp anyone! How too?

Wardrobe Planning

Some of us simply fall into our current look without giving it much thought. Over time, it may become outdated or inappropriate for the lives we now lead.

Do you have clothing in your closet that you bought years ago? Unless these are fabulous designer fashions that cost thousand of Rands, this may be a clue that it's time for a new you and some basic wardrobe planning.

Basic wardrobe planning is essential to revamp. I recently turned 27, my age is catching up to me and its important to update your wardrobe as you get older, start a new job or even for a personal change.

Fashion changes like leaves on the branches in seasons, some of which go and others come. And it is time to revamp.

Steps in Wardrobe Planning Revamp:

1: Strategize – define you fashion eg. Lifestyle, personal style 

2. Organize - de clutter, identify key outfits and dispose of the rest.

3. Shop (my fav hehehe) – any items you are missing it time to shop whohoo.



Steps to Revamping you wardrobe



Step 1: Strategize What You Need and What You Want to Look and Feel Your Best

Fashion strategy starts with analyzing what personal image you want to project.

What Fashion Image Do You Want to Express?

Whether you are a sophisticated urbanite, or someone who would rather be fishing, there are clothes that feel comfortable and just right on you. Visit your wardobe and figure out what styles you love. This is the start of creating a logical image.

How Much Time Do You Spend in Lifestyle Activities?

List your daily activities.

Decide what types of clothes you need and how many hours a day or week you spend in them.

This helps see how to best use our clothing budget.

Basic wardrobe planning brings balance into our closets and fashion spending.

Step 2: Organize What You Own: Sort, Discard, & Declutter Your Closet

Identify figure flattering clothes that are in style and fit your lifestyle. Don't be afraid to split up suits. Jackets often outlast skirts and pants, which receive more stress on the seams and wear on the seats. Get rid of clothing that no longer fits your figure, your lifestyle, or is out of date.

In the end: Is clothing worth keeping that needs minor alterations or cleaning?

Here's the Creative Part: Identify Great Outfits You Already Own!

Now that you know what you have, identify basic outfits for your lifestyle.

Get creative. Try clothing items in new combinations.

Experiment: Find new items that work together.

That old beaded top may be a perfect vest with bling if you wear it backwards with the zipper up the front.

Team it with casual shirt, pants, and jacket for a new look.

Let your ideas run wild. After all, no one has to see you in the outfit!

What's Missing That Will Extend What You Own?

Discover what's missing from your wardrobe.

I end up with tons of colorful shirts and t shirts, because they are cheap and easy to buy.

Finding neutrally colored, reasonably-priced pants and skirts takes shopping commitment, persistence, and patience.

Figure out what you need - such as that all important black skirt or navy blue shoes.

Every fashionable women and man needs - but too often we forget to buy - a white blouse, a good watch, or a stylish all-weather coat as part of our basic wardrobe planning.

Step Three: Shop Wisely for Multi Use Clothes

Make the best use of your clothing budget by buying key pieces of good quality that offer lots of wear.

Never buy anything unless its figure flattering and you can wear it with at least two or three other items you already own.

Tuck the list of key items that you need into your purse, so not to over buy.
