Revamp Romp: Restyling Your Closet on Zero Budget
Who doesn’t love a full closet? But we don’t simply want them full, we want them full of new things all the time, so that we can keep up with the latest in fashion. But here’s a better idea – choose a closet revamp instead. Pick a day, any day. One you can dedicate to organising, taking stock and re-styling the clothes and accessories you already own. It’s a worthy challenge for every modern woman, that’s not only sustainable and eco-friendly, but fun and creative too! Here are some helpful tips to help you complete the task with ease and find yourself some fabulous new ensembles to adorn.
Step 1 – Reorganise in phases
While reorganising sounds like a chore, you can turn it into something productive and meaningful. After all, every outfit you own has its own memories and stories attached to it. Consider this trip into your closet like a trip down memory lane, one that you can easily split up between days instead of letting it overwhelm you or take over your day. While going through what you have, you might rediscover old favourites that have been missing the spotlight, or even some pieces you’ve never worn before! Let’s not forget the ones you’ve been planning to give away for a while that are now ready for a fashionable return.
Step 2 — Create an inventory
The next thing to do is to take stock of all the clothes and accessories in your wardrobe – make a categorised list that you can divide into larger umbrellas like formals and casuals, as well as more specific types like tops, denims or dresses. As you note down what you have, also remember to add how often you wear them. You’ll find many ideas popping into your mind right about now, and that’s right on time for the next and final step of this super sustainable closet revamp!
Step 3 — Turn old into new!
Now you’re all set for the creative part — coming up with new outfit combinations with your existing pieces. Break away from the usual mixes and matches, let the stylist in you take over and discover beauty in the unusual. Don’t forget to account for all the jewelry, shoes and handbags, those can play a big part in helping you complete your new outfits for the days to come. Enjoy the feeling of trying them on, picking out the right occasions for them and knowing you’ve helped protect the environment by reducing wastage.
