This article pertains to any working woman regardless of her career. When getting dressed for work, the last thing on your mind you want to do is put an outfit together at the last minute. It takes time and can be very frustrating. I always recommend clients plan out their workwear a week in advance. This way you’re not stressed trying to piece an outfit together in the morning. It also allows extra time to sit, have breakfast and read the paper.
Here are the challenges you may be experiencing with your existing wardrobe.
CHALLENGES/ REASONS
Wardrobe not set up for success– This will essentially cause you to keep shopping and buying things that don’t add value to your wardrobe.
A closet full of ill-fitting clothes– You have a bunch of clothes that don’t fit which makes it look like you have more clothes than you do that are wearable.
Style and Color Harmony– If your closet doesn’t have style and color harmony, you may find yourself frustrated trying to piece a basic outfit together.
Missing Wardrobe EssentialsWardrobe essentials are important for many reasons, and being the piece to the puzzle is one. Even though they are essentials they hold a lot of value.
Outdated Clothes-If you have a bunch of outdated clothes mixed with your good clothes, this only adds frustration. Most of the time trendy pieces are the culprit of having an outdated wardrobe. Try doing a purge to get those out of your clothes today.
