10 Tiny Temporary Capsule Wardrobe Tips<\/h2>\n

1. Eliminate accessories.<\/strong> Instead of trying to figure out what scarves, handbags, jewelry, or other things you accessorize with, eliminate all or all but one. This may not be a permanent step, but removing the decision-making process for a few months will help you experience the benefits of dressing with less without struggling to choose.<\/p>\n

2. Wear your favorite colors.<\/strong> If you love wearing blue but have a few red items in your wardrobe to \u201cmix things up\u201d or because red was the color of the month in your favorite fashion magazine, let yourself off the hook. You don\u2019t have to dress in seasonal colors or colors you think you are supposed to wear. Remove the colors or patterns you don\u2019t feel good in for a while.<\/p>\n

3. Keep it all in one place.<\/strong> I used to have clothes and other wardrobe items in different drawers, closets, and storage bins so I never really understood how much I really had. Get all your stuff in one place and then divide it into the stuff you are actually wearing and enjoying and the stuff you aren\u2019t. There is no reason to be sifting through what you don\u2019t wear to find what you want to wear.<\/p>\n

4. Identify 5 favorite outfits.<\/strong> Statistics show we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time, but we still show up and ask \u201cwhat am I going to wear?\u201d every morning. Instead, photograph yourself in your 5 favorite outfits and before you look in your closet, choose from your favorite looks.<\/p>\n

5. Get rid of the tags.<\/strong> If there are things in your closet with tags still on them, remove the tags and the items. Give them away, consign them or sell them. The tags may not seem harmful but seeing those bad purchase decisions everyday is a stressful reminder of impulse shopping, overspending and bad purchase decisions.<\/p>\n

6. Only keep one size in your closet.<\/strong> Multiple sizes may feel like a safety net, but they may also be a painful reminder of how you feel in your own skin. There\u2019s no proof that smaller sizes encourage you to lose weight and the stress of trying could even contribute to weight gain. Keep one size in your closet and take a walk with the extra time you save in the morning when deciding what to wear.<\/p>\n

7. Let go of the guilt.<\/strong> Closets are full of emotion with guilt often at the top of the list. Guilt for spending too much, for not wearing what you have, for clothes fitting poorly and for not enjoying pieces other people have given you. Unfortunately the guilt is completely unproductive. Take a look through your closet and pull out anything that makes you feel guilty. Box it up and revisit in 3 months. If you don\u2019t love it by then or it still makes you feel bad, give it away.<\/p>\n

8. Add music.<\/strong> Instead of continually adding new pieces to your wardrobe because they are on sale, or because you need a shopping lift, or whatever excuse you are using to buy something new, add music. Create a playlist of 10 songs that make you smile and when you feel the urge to shop, turn the music on instead. Those 10 songs will lift you up and the time that passes while you are listening will be enough of a delay to ease your mind and distract you from shopping.<\/p>\n

9. Ask a friend for help.<\/strong> Invite someone over who isn\u2019t emotionally attached to go through your clothes with you. Trust them to help you let go.<\/p>\n

10. Call a three-month time out.<\/strong> Give minimalist fashion challenge Project 333<\/a> a try. The rules may sound intimidating but keep in mind, it\u2019s only temporary if you want it to be. You have nothing to lose except stress, spending, and closet chaos.<\/p>\n

These changes may become permanent, but they are temporary to start. Ease in without the pressure of turning everything upside down. Don\u2019t give everything away, just get it out of sight for a while and see how you feel dressing with less. Remove the chaos and emotional attachment by separating yourself from your stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
