When is it time to break up (with your clothes)?

How to know when it’s time to let something go.

So here’s the deal, everyone has stuff in their closet they don’t wear. EVERYONE. I’m no exception.

These are the most common reasons:

1. It doesn’t fit.... right now (that’s a trap!)

2. You don’t know how to wear it (we can easily solve this)

3. You’re saving it for that one event.... (hint, it’s never! Never, is when that event is gonna happen)

4. You didn’t even know it was still in your closet because you can’t see it (also an easy fix)

5. You don’t actually like it on YOU! (you might think it’s cute, but it’s not really for you)

All of these have pretty clear answers and solutions.

1. If it doesn’t fit, let it go. It’s highly unlikely you’re going to change that much (not that you even should) unless it’s something you’ve been actively working on... like now. Otherwise, let it go and give yourself a break on that.

2. Hire a stylist and bam, you’ve got answers! Probably more than 1. Or look online at other stylists and get some ideas!

3. Unless it’s a costume or something for extreme weather/ sports, this is another trap. If you have a spare closet and extra space, sure, store it there... otherwise, let it go.

4. Again, hire a stylist and let’s edit and organize that closet! You should 100% know everything you own.

5. I get stuck in this trap, A LOT. Part of the problem is I just love clothes, so I buy things and think, I can do this, that and the other with this top and it’ll be great. And I’m not wrong.... But it’s still not gonna be great for ME!

I know my style, I know what I’m comfortable in and I know if I’m likely to wear it or not. So, if it’s not your style, it’s way outside your norm and you just know you’ll probably never wear it (since you probably already haven’t), let it go!

Have more questions, let me know. ✌🏽❤️ 🙂
