How to build an Amazing Wardrobe in just 5 simple steps

September 30, 2020


My Dear Lady, I used to have issues with finding the right clothes for many occasions. 

I would be surrounded by clothes and find nothing suitable to wear. I realised that I needed to take action and started to build my dream wardrobe. 

My wardrobe is now simple to navigate and looks great on me. These are the 5 steps I implemented to build my wardrobe.


Decluttering 

Decluttering involves getting rid of unnecessary and unused items. 


When I decluttered my wardrobe, I was able to see what clothes inspired confidence in me and those that were not suitable. 


I had outgrown some of the clothes as they did not suit my current lifestyle. After decluttering, I have lesser decisions to make and only a few but the best in my wardrobe.



Style

Every lady loves and has a different style and fit.


When I started building my wardrobe, I figured out that my style was elegant and feminine. 


So I removed clothes that were not feminine( I had to say goodbye to all my jeans) and started replacing them with flowing skirts and dresses in my current size.


While selecting wardrobe statement pieces, ask yourself if that cute outfit on sale is your style and fit before owning it.




Colours

Like Style, each lady has different colours that suit them best. 


I took a colour analysis online and started building on that colour palette for what makes me looks great(I have a Deep winter colour palette!!).


From that colour palette, I chose feminine pastel colours like blue & pink for casual and classy neutrals like ivory, reds and blacks for formal occasions.




Quality


Quality is all about fabric and garment construction. 


On researching, I observed that you need top-grade fabrics and construction for it to be called High-Quality. To check if the garment is high-quality, check if the stitches are well-hidden and sturdy. 


 Good quality garments avoid having large logos and High-end brands are usually discreet and look timeless. 


 High-quality fabrics are usually linen, 100% cotton, silk, velvet, wool, cashmere, leather, and flannel. The cheap fabrics are composed of synthetic materials like polyester, rayon and nylon.



Time

Building a perfect wardrobe takes lots of time and patience. 


To do so, I resisted the urge to build it within a few weeks. I keep a plan on what outfits I want and browse online to save my preferences. When a sale comes up, I get my favourite pieces and grow my wardrobe. 


I am still in the process of building my wardrobe. Happy Wardrobe building! 


Lots of Love,
