Greetings! 'TIS THE SEASON... As the seasons change, we pack away the white linens and colored cotton t's, and we look into our wardrobes for what to wear next, the question arises, " To shop or not to shop?" Yes, Autumn is my favorite season. Yes, Fall fashions are the richest, while still being light-weight, flexible and most fun to wear. Yes, budgets are still a little tight. So, what to do? Shop Your Closet! When budgets are tight, and even when they're not, it's a good idea to shop your closet before you bring in new pieces that may not serve you better than those you already have. Step #1 - Take out your most favorite items, the ones you reach for over and over again. Put them aside outside your closet. Step #2 - Take out the items you know don't fit, are out of date, or have never been worn no matter how hard you've tried to make them work. Put them aside in a different location outside your closet. Step #3 - Review each item that remains in your closet very closely. Try them on one at a time and ask these questions: If the answer is "yes" to all 4, it can stay. Step #4 - Place the items from Group #2 in a box or bag and mark it "DONATE." Then, be sure to take it to your local center within 24 hours. Step #5 - Take the items from Group #1 and return them to your closet in priority order as follows: Step #6 - One-by-one take the pieces you love most. Try them on together with the other pieces that have been invited to remain in your closet. Create combinations that you have never worn before and would surely not create on the spur-of-the-moment as you're frantically rushing to get out the door in the morning. Step #7 - As you identify great new combinations, take a photo or make a list something like this: Step #8 - Review your accessories for new ways to mix and match with all your combos. Add them to your list or photo wardrobe. Step #9 - Make a wish list of items you feel would be the "perfect" add-ins to the new looks you've just created. Step #10 - Go shopping. Take the list and stick to it. You will find yourself bringing in only new items that you will wear and love and love to wear. You will also find that you are saving time, energy and money and still looking and feeling your very best.
