Refresh Your Wardrobe Without Buying New Clothes

There is one challenge is to refresh your wardrobe without buying new clothes. Is it possible? Here are some tips and tricks to share without reservation.

Because the style of dress is a unique story that is told between you and your dressing room, you have to ask the right questions before changing your look. Indeed, even if your clothing tastes have evolved, this does not imply a systematic and total renewal of your wardrobe.

Take the time, spend a few hours to make a rigorous sorting by putting aside, all the clothes that you seem superfluous, useless. You will rediscover forgotten outfits and this could even inspire you some new combinations of colors and unsuspected styles.

Sweaters, T-shirts, sexy blouses, skirts, shirt, jackets, pants, tie ... Take the time to try again, to associate them: you will certainly not be disappointed (e).

Be inspired by Pareto's law: this will allow you to make room in your closet and in your mind because, in the end, you certainly wear only 20% of your clothes 80% of the time.

During sorting, separate the clothes by grouping:

1. clothing whose colors do not enhance or are no longer appropriate to your body type;

2. the clothes to be repaired (broken zipper or button to be replaced ...);

3. clothes that are out of season so to put away;

4. clothes to keep, which will take their place in your wardrobe.
