Dress to Manifest: Closet Clear-Out

New year, new me, new goals, new resolutions! So let’s start with the first one to kick off our new year into the right direction. Ask yourself, how can I show up into 2022 being the newest version of myself? I can answer that. Start with a refurbished wardrobe, not necessarily new, but less old. It’t time to clean out the old, and bring in the consciousness. What do you truly want to look like? What piece of clothing in your closet goes against that?

The process may seem overwhelming at first but here’s a 6 step guide to help you pre plan.

1. Prep: Get a trash bag for the clothes your throwing away, a box for the things you’d like to donate and a hamper for the clothes you’ll keep.

2. Downsize: The goal is to let it go, so let it go! You haven’t worn it in a year and can’t think of anything to wear with it so we have to do what’s right. Let’s begin to only have things in our wardrobe that we love, and will use.

3. Remember the goal: Remember we want to be able to create outfits out of what we have, so its important that we keep our basics or things that can be layered and styled different ways.

4. Organization: After we’ve sorted through our keep and deletes, we need to organize out space so that we can clearly see what we have to work with. To be able to pick out an outfit faster I like to organize by color. If you have additional space, try storing some clothes that aren’t in season.

5. Mindfulness: After analyzing what you’ve kept and what you’ve gotten rid of take a look at what you need, make a list. When its time to shop, shop intentionally to get exactly what you’re looking for.

This should result in having a peaceful start to your new year, with a more clean and refreshed look that didn’t take too much effort.
