Refreshing Your Spring Wardrobe

As a military spouse, I know how important it is to consistently “purge” your home in case of an upcoming PCS! This of course includes your closet. This will also help you to stay confident in yourself through the next season of your life.

If you’re anything like me- you probably have a few “go to” pieces in your closet, and several items that you always ignore. Not only is this frustrating, but it can also be mentally draining to your self esteem. Clothes should help bring comfort and confidence to your day. Simplify your wardrobe to the pieces that make you happy. This can be done in just a few simple steps.

Clean Out Your Closet!

• Take everything out of your closet
• Divide the clothes into different categories (my faves are “keep, sell, donate”)
• Figure out what main pieces you’re missing
• Reorganize your closet as you put “keep” clothes away
• Try making complete outfits to see if you could see yourself ACTUALLY wearing the item

Think Ahead When Shopping!

• Try not to fall into trendy pieces
• Make a budget
• Make sure you always have the basics and they fit well
• Invest in main neutral colors
• Consider a capsule wardrobe (love this idea for saving money!)

Accessorize!

• Coordinate your outfit with different shoes
• Jewelry and scarves can drastically revamp an outfit
• Show your creativity with interchangeable or stackable pieces

These simple tips can help you organize and freshen your closet without making you feel overwhelmed and needing a whole new wardrobe. Removing the extra “clutter” in your wardrobe will make picking out an outfit and styling yourself much more enjoyable.
