To do list:
Firstly, pull everything out of your drawers and wardrobe. Throw away anything that is stained or has holes in it. Bag up any items that are in good condition but you no longer wear – these can go to charity.
Another fun way to get rid of unwanted clothes and gain a few in the process is to have a swap party with your friends. You will get a new look without spending anything.
Sort all your garments, grouping all jackets, pants, dresses, skirts and tops together. This way you will know exactly where to find everything.
Cleaning knitwear and airing clothing over the winter months is a headache for most of us so now is the time to take advantage of the last of the sunshine. Put all your musty knits that have been stored over summer through the wash and dry them flat outside. Take all your coats and jackets on their hangers and hang them from the washing line. Let the fresh air and sunshine do their magic.
Accessories
Accessories are the key to stylish dressing. Take a look at style icons throughout the years and often you will see they have very simple style but pull off a stunning look by adding a statement scarf or bold sunglasses. Adding accessories to change your look is far more cost-effective than buying new clothes and will not take up as much space in your wardrobe.
Work wear
Someone who chooses stylish, well-tailored clothing will gain respect in the work place. Good quality suits and pencil skirts will never go out of fashion. The good news is that looking the part in the workplace needn’t cost the earth – most chain stores price basic work-wear items competitively.
Smart casual
You don’t need lots of clothes to get a smart-casual look together. A couple of pairs of good, basic pants can be mixed and matched with a basic set of tops and jackets. Every wardrobe should have a white shirt, and the classic denim jacket is always handy.
Casual
When it comes time for a walk along the beach or a quick coffee with friends, your jeans and skinny trousers are just the ticket. Put them together with casual tops for a look that’s relaxed and playful.
