Key Fashion Crimes in Your
Closet That Can Hold You
Back
1. Cheap
Clothing: Clothes that are
see-through, clingy, and look worse for wear after one wash aren’t
doing you any favors. That bargain bin find might seem like a
steal, but if it's showing every bump and lump, it's stealing your
style instead. Opt for well-made pieces that flatter and
last.
2. Shopping
Backwards: When your shopping mantra is 'low price
above all', you end up with a closet full of compromises, not
clothes you love. Instead, focus on the perfect fit and quality
that elevates your look. Sometimes, spending a bit more upfront
saves you from a closet full of 'nothing to wear'. #TRUTH
3. Sale Rack
Frenzy: We've all felt the thrill of the deal, but
panic shopping in the sales section often leads to fashion
missteps. Those items often end up unworn, with tags intact, living
in the closet's shadowy corners. Break the cycle by shopping for
what you need and love, not just because it's on sale.
4. Gift Clothing
Guilt: From the ill-fitting sweater from your
mother-in-law to the off-trend handbag gifted by a well-meaning
friend, it's time to let it go. Direct your dear ones towards what
you'd truly cherish which is suggestions of things that you
actually want.
Your wardrobe should be a reflection of you,
not a collection of others' tastes. #YYYAAASSS
5. Wrong-Size
Wardrobe: Clothes that don’t fit, be they too loose
or snug, are relics of the past or wishes for the future. They can
be psychologically cumbersome, implying you might revert to a
former size. Celebrate your current shape by curating a wardrobe
that fits and flatters you right now. Dress for the body you have
today.
6. Ancient
Attire: Even if it still fits, that decade-old
dress likely doesn't reflect your current style or life. Our
clothes should evolve with us, ensuring our wardrobe isn't stuck in
a time warp. Regularly refresh your style to keep your look current
and confident. Don't wait 10 or 15 years to shop. Then you're stuck
in a style rut.
7. Sentimental
Stockpile: Letting go of past purchases can be
tough, especially when they're tied to memories or a significant
cost. Use the backward hanger method to see what you're actually
wearing. If it hasn't seen daylight in a year, it's time for it to
serve someone else's story. #DONATE
Join me next week for more style wisdom and wardrobe rehab.
Until then, stay fabulous, stay stylish, and tackle that closet
with confidence. Remember, you deserve the best wardrobe the
universe has to offer... DON'T SETTLE and make sure your clothes
bring you up, not down.
