It's all part of the process

 I love my Mother, she is the ultimate in good sport!  Today I under went the ultimate test - organising a family member's wardrobe.  It is of course a process and part of the process is clearing out the past, but its always fun to take a moment to say goodbye!  It was a bit of a marathon, but we got there and it's safe to say that with no shopping at all, we were able to double the number of outfits that Mum can put her hands on.

It's fashion not brain surgery and by playing with options and getting a fresh perspective, we were able to make the items work harder.  By organising clothes into type and then a colour scale, finding specific items, becomes easier and  you will be less likely to become part of the statistic that wears 10% of their wardrobe 90% of the time.  The initial process can be difficult but also exciting as you rediscover old gems, that may have been usurped by other options.  

A term I use quite a lot is can you "shop your wardrobe".  What I mean by this is; if your wardrobe was a shop, would you buy what is on the rail?  Can you even really see, what is on the rail?  If the answer is no, maybe its time to have a sort out.
