Wardrobe cleanse …

Happy New Year!!

By the way, when does it officially became too far into January to say this to people?!

Funny isn’t it, what a new month and a new year makes us all do? Some of it I am totally into, like having a few goals or challenges you’d like to set yourself such as trying to cut out booze Monday to Friday (By the way I am failing with this)

But, my most favourite thing about a new year is the odd desire we get as a nation to have a good old sort out a general refresh of life. Well, this was exactly how I felt last year too, but specifically about my wardrobe.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have always loved fashion and over the years I have gathered a rather large collection of clothes however after having children I seemed to lose my confidence and my direction when it came to shopping. I had no idea which shops were ‘my kind of shops’ anymore, or what really suited me. Sound familiar?? I guess I had become a victim of the jeans and jumper brigade, I refer to this as the ‘mum uniform’

It was time I called for help, and thank goodness rescue came in the form of Personal Stylist Anna Mewes.

FACT – Did you know that most women only wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time? Well this was 100% me

I knew I had a lot of great items lurking in there somewhere but I either had no clue how to ‘re-wear’ them or I actually couldn’t see it at all!

The package I opted for meant that Anna came to my house for a full four hours. This time flew by. We got on so well and I immediately knew that both myself and my wardrobe were in safe hands! We agreed on my colours & my style mantra, but the highlight was getting to take every single garment out of my wardrobe and assess if it was to keep/ sell/ charity/ amend. Just so satisfying!!! By the end of the session, I had an organised capsule wardrobe, hung in an ordered way, enabling me to clearly see everything.

From this point on I found ‘me’ again and my confidence in what works had been restored – Anna even followed up with a personalised shopping list and my own pinterest board! Seriously – it’s the stuff of dreams!!

So when you next say to yourself, ‘ I have nothing to wear’ I would say, yes you do – you just can’t see it.
