Alex & Lucy continue their conversation on evaluating, planning and building your wardrobe and the preparation steps.

Alex & Lucy talk about getting prepared.

They haven’t actually talked about going through your clothes yet – that’s next time!

It’s so important to be prepared before you start looking through your clothes.

So here is a summary of Lucy’s preparation suggestions

• know what you want to achieve. 
• have ready what you need – bin bags, hangers etc
• clean cupboards and drawers as you go.
• wear something easy to get on and take off for trying items on.
• a full length mirror.
• a phone for taking photos of outfits created.
• a notebook to write 2 lists.  What you need to buy.  What you don’t need to buy.
• how are you going to do it?  Take everything out at once?  Category by category?
• how long are you going to do it for?  Over a period of days, weeks, months? 
• which piles are you going to create as you go along?  Memories, charity, alterations/mending, try on, not sure etc.

And most importantly. 

How are you going to celebrate your success?

• you finished a drawer.
• you sorted your socks.
• you actually made a start after saying you’re going to do it for 2 years.
