Clothing clutter is such a burden on our lives. I feel like many of us have "nothing to wear" but too many clothes at the same time! How
can we reduce this problem?
What is your lifestyle
We need to be honest with our lifestyles. Sometimes we think of how great it would be to dress a certain way, but it doesn't work with our lifestyle.
I'm very outdoorsy, and I am self-employed. While I would love to dress up in cute skirts and dresses, That doesn't work when I'm constantly on the go.
So because of that, I wear shorts and T-shirts, They are flexible for a variety of purposes!
If you are a mother and you want to wear high heels all the time, That may not work out for you.
We sometimes think that we can just buy what we think is cute, But if it doesn't work with our lifestyle, Those clothes will just hang in the closet and never be worn.
Find Your Style
Finding your style of clothes can make shopping easier. If it doesn't match your style, You don't buy it. This also helps ensure that most of your clothes match and look good together.
You should base your style on what you like, but also what corresponds with your lifestyle!
I wear black Because i like black it also gives me a "thinner" look. Its stylish, And low maintenance, All of my clothes match. This makes it super easy to go shopping. Because I know exactly what to look for, If it's not black, I don't buy it.
Just because something is cute, Doesn't mean it matches "you."
Decide How Much You NEED To Own.
Many people have months worth of clean clothes in their closets. It's crazy! They act like all the clothing stores are going to disappear one day.
Owning less not only simplifies your life, But it makes finding specific things easier.
Most people only need one week to 2 weeks worth of clothes, With a few add-ons, Like coats, Fancy wear, etc.
That's if you want to wash your clothes once a week. I like to have a little more for back up; Sometimes you have those days where you spill on yourself and need an extra pair of shorts.
Or if you work a dirty job, you may need double the amount of clothes.
Decide how much you need for yourself! Some people may need more or less. Then stick with it, But adjust it as necessary so you aren't forced to wash your clothes four times a week.
Clothing is something we need, But at the same time like with food, And other items it's easy to go overboard on how much you think you need. You can find a happy medium. So your closet has a lot of nice stuff, But at the same time it's not overflowing.
