Does Anything In Your Closet Need Your Attention:

Some of your clothes may need cleaned, ironed, or mended. If so now is the time to take it off the hanger and deal with it. Put it either in the laundry/ dry clean, mend or to be ironed pile. Let's add another pile and lets call it the give it to a charity pile. It's also time to pay attention to all those shoes, underwear, hosiery, and hand bags. Do they all successfully still complement your fashion apparel? How about managing the amount of clothes in your closet. Let's put away summer and concentrate on just having and winter clothes to choose from. When you do this closet exercise you make it much easier to see and select the fashion apparel that you would like to wear for that day and for the week. So lets look at some individual categories of apparel in your closet and determine what you would like to do with each item of clothing.

Underwear and Lingerie

Underwear and Lingerie:

First throw out the ratty, stretched out, riding-up underwear. Do an account of how many pairs of usable underwear that you have left and keep those for every day use. Now look at your really nice sexy special occasion underwear. Perhaps its time to look at some fresh looks and add a bit of that newness back into tour underwear drawer and your closet. How about your bras, are they getting a bit ratty looking and are they comfortable and do they still fit and look good on you. Check out your sizing when you are in your lingerie department , it's free to check this out at some stores.

T-Shirts

 

Check Out Your T- Shirts:

Throw away all of your t-shirts that are falling apart and are stained. Separate the spring and summer colors from the fall and winter colors and store the out going season elsewhere. Now what's left, and do they still fit in the shoulders, bust and waist? What size are you and which necklines flatters you? Sometimes your t-shirts can be worn with other shirts or jackets that really look good on you, so consider that before you consider throwing it out. Look at the room you have in your closet, looking good.  

Shop for Jeans

        

Let's Look at Your Jeans:

Start with getting rid of all the jeans that no longer fit. Take an honest look at your jeans, do they look good on you? Do they show off too much when you bend over? If so could this be fixed with a belt or an under-shirt? Also consider investing in some flattering dark-wash jeans if you do not already have a pair.

Shop for Dresses

What about Your Dresses:

  In your closet do you have a dress for every occasion? Perhaps you should consider whether you have a selection of casual, business,or that Little Black Dress. Are they in style or have they become dated in their look. Separate out the season's as you did before with your other clothes. Try them on, do they still look good and do they fit well, perhaps it's time to add some new color and style to your wardrobe.
