Wardrobe – Evaluate

Autumn and Spring are logical times to evaluate and organise a wardrobe, when the weather’s changing and so are the styles of new clothes in the shops. It’s better to carry out this at the beginning of the season when your clothes look fresh.

Wardrobing is a continous process involving 3 phases:
Evaluation
Discarding of nonfunctional pieces
Accumulating new pieces

The benefits of periodic wardrobe evaluation are:

Identify your clothing needs
Clearly define your likes and dislikes – define your personal style
Make better use of the clothing you already own
Decide what you need to add to or discard from your wardrobe
Avoid making mistakes on future clothing purchases
Eliminate the guilt you feel every time you open the wardrobe and are faced with unworn, wasted clothes
Save time and energy in shopping, sorting, dressing, cleaning, pressing, repairing, and replacing
Create and maintain an attractive, healthy self-image – knowing that your clothes enhance your appearance.

Allow plenty of time. Choose a time when you can be alone and nothing will interfere. For most people, evaluating and organising a wardrobe can take several hours. Once done, it becomes faster and easier the next time.

To save on time, prepare for the event, gather supplies you will need the day before.
