The Frugal Girlie:

You and Your Wardrobe


In these frugal times, it's not about buying a whole 

wardrobe, clothes, declutter, wardrobe clear out

new wardrobe, it's about learning how to wear the one you have!!

Start with decluttering your wardrobe. 


Clear out the old clothes and accessories that fit into the catagories below.

Make way for a more functional wardrobe!!!

Unflattering or ill-fitting

You know, that skirt you are always pulling at when you wear it or that blouse or shirt with the gaping buttons!!


Never worn:
Still has the label on it, an impulse buy in the sales, its that "what was I thinking item"
Worn-out:

It was your favourite piece of clothing TEN years ago, its now washed out, raggy and soooooo 10 years ago.




 Has Never fit:

Clear out anything that is too big/small

 


Hasn't seen the light of day in over a year:

If you haven't worn something in over a year then its time to get rid of it.  
Those "I will fit into them....eventually" items!!


Be honest with yourself,

Be brutal with your wardrobe....

and if you feel you may not be able to, get someone to help you, someone you know will be honest with you!!


Anything that needs altering or mending bag it and bring it to the dressmaker!!

Don't forget, a wardrobe clearout doesn't necessarily mean throwing anything away, donate good condition clothes to charity shops, sell your unwanted items on ebay or have a clothes swapping party with your friends, you never know what you may actually gain in return.
