A Wardrobe Inventory

Leigh & Lucy talk about taking an inventory of the items in your wardrobe .

Pausing and taking an inventory gives a real picture of what’s going on in your wardrobe at the present time.

Over time, clothes can accumulate without any real plan or focus. Then we try to make that accumulation work for our current life and who we are now. We may not even know what we have languishing there.

Taking stock and doing an inventory provides some of the following :

*refamiliarising yourself with what you actually have
*an opportunity to explore your style and what you like and don’t like
*you begin to see what you have with fresh eyes
*it takes the emotion out. We are looking at numbers only at this stage
*a chance to hear the conversations you may be having about certain pieces and even yourself
*observing how often you buy the same thing or versions of the same thing
*seeing whether you have multiples of the same thing and how real those numbers are
*observing what you have a lot of and where there might be gaps
*looking at how you store things
*seeing how many things you store in your wardrobe that aren’t items you can, or do, wear at the moment
*seeing how many things you store in your wardrobe that aren’t clothes related at all; wrapping paper, bedding, old papers, board games
*observing what you are keeping because you have an emotional attachment to it rather than wearing it

Once you have an idea of where you are starting from you can begin to create a successful and supportive wardrobe that contains:

*colours that work
*styles that work
*your life
*you

    Thank you for the amazing group style session!  It was loads of fun and amazingly helpful. I’m now more confident and decisive when buying anything from a t-shirt to an evening gown.  Plus, I was just complimented by my Mom (tough critic) on my overall appearance, so I know it’s working.
