Wardrobe Refashioning Step One

Wardrobe Edit & Discard

Take everything out from your current wardrobe, including those sitting in boxes, drawers.

We will now give your wardrobe the fresh start it needs.

Throw out

1. Clothes beyond repair
   
2. Clothes that are too big or small, or do not fit properly
   
3. Clothes no longer in fashion
   
4. Clothes that you don't wear anymore because they are too long or short (we all know lengths of blouses and the waist lines of jeans, skirts, pants change according to fashion trends).
   
5. Clothes with holes
   
6. Clothes that are faded (no matter how trendy you think they are)
   
7. Clothes that have rips in them
   
8. Clothes that clearly have been washed too often
   
9. Clothes with unremovable stains
   
10. Cheap looking clothes (if you think it might look cheap, get rid of it!)
    
11. Scuffed shoes
    
12. Bags that have lost their shape
    
13. Bags that are beyond repair
    
14. Fabric bags whose fabric looks dirty and are beyond the wash
    
15. Hats, accessories that have gone out of style
    
16. Costume jewelry that looks dull and fake
    

Repair

1. Cut all loose threads dangling from your clothes
   
2. Repair all those missing buttons
   
3. Bleach those whites that have gotten dull
   

Give away anything you haven't worn in the past two years. If you have difficulty giving it away, put it in an box marked, "Salvation Army". If you haven't visited that box in six months, just seal it (without looking in it) and drop it off at the nearest Salvos.
