If you experience frustration getting ready for work, play or a very important event from time to time- that’s normal. Even I have my moments!
If it happens at least once a week and/or more than that, you have a wardrobe challenge. I want to let you know that it doesn’t have to be that way! You CAN love your wardrobe too!!!
Seriously, I LOVE my wardrobe. I know I have the advantage of what I do for my day job, but it really wasn’t always this way.
Fairly consistently I would have piles of clothes on my bed and finally just opt for the usual. I would get stuck on how something looked on my butt or my hips or my stomach or even my arms.
It wasn’t until I set the intention to LOVE my wardrobe, playing with clothes and learned how to mix and match … not to mention be honest with myself about what works for my body type … that I really did start to love my wardrobe.
Three Steps to LOVING your Wardrobe:
1) Cleanse
Trust me, it feels REALLY good to get rid of the pieces that you don’t LOVE. Start with the pieces you know you never wear to make it easier. A lot you can edit out by simply looking at it – is it worn, faded or the quality not what you want in your life and wardrobe? Toss it!! Someone else will give it a loving home!
2) Focus on FIT
If you’re wearing something too BIG or too small, it makes you look bigger than you are. Wearing something baggy doesn’t hide your body, it distorts it. Show off your figure! Accentuate your waist! Own the fact that you have a cute butt!!
3) COLOR
Wearing drab neutrals doesn’t really sound pretty, does it? So why are you wearing black, brown, beige, etc. all the time? BORING! Please, even if it’s a bit of color through your accessories … add color! It brightens YOUR mood AND effects how people perceive you. Scan your wardrobe. How much color do you see? What are the colors that stand out to you and excite you? Focus on adding more of those to your wardrobe.
Of course, there is a bit more that goes into it, but these few steps can really help you get excited about your wardrobe.
I challenge you to try at least ONE of these steps and see how you feel. I bet you’ll move on to the next! Let me know how it goes.
