It can be difficult for most people to navigate life as they deal with ‘life’ changes, especially that of getting that little bit older. One area that can be tricky is a woman’s wardrobe and choice of clothing.

In the past, people thought that once you were over a certain age, you should follow rigid fashion rules. This would mean that you would have to ditch certain trending fashions and styles, probably avoid
bright colours, (go beige) and adopt a melancholy wardrobe approach.

However, your age does not determine your wardrobe and personality. So, learning how to make the right wardrobe changes so you remain true to your identity is crucial.

Overview of Wardrobe Audits

Nothing should stop you from living your best life and being ‘in vogue’ with what you wear. Do you want to upgrade your style and be more confident? A good wardrobe audit or declutter can help with that.

Here is what to consider when undertaking awardrobe audit.

Your Dress Reflects Your Personality

It is a fact that the way you dress says alot about your personality and confidence. It creates an aura that reflects your intrinsic value and stance in life and how you want to be perceived by the world.

So, let us celebrate who you are and what you love. Express your style and beauty in your overall wardrobe choice.

Comfort is Essential

Embrace Versatility

Versatility is the secret to vibrancy and practicality. Where possible avoid sticking with stereo-typed items in your wardrobe, have a statement piece or two and incorporate a trend piece.

Try to choose pieces that can serve multiple purposes in your appearance, because not only will they boost your beauty, but you will also save money in the long run.

Use Accessories for Distinctiveness

Accessories are like finishing touches that will give you your ‘signature look’ bringing together your appearance, style, and overall personality. Stick with alluring earrings and necklaces, classic
handbags, footwear in a statement colour to add a special touch to your style.
Whatever is your preference add it to your wardrobe.

How To Audit Your Wardrobe

The following simple steps will make wardrobe audits a breeze.

Evaluate the Items

Evaluate all the clothing and other accessories you have. These include trousers, shirts, skirts, suits, jackets, sweaters, etc. Carefully sort them into three different pilesto help you identify items to keep, discard, or sell / donate.

Consider Frequency of Wear

When you undertake a wardrobe audit, you will become aware of the frequency of wear for most of your clothing. It may interest you to discover that you have several pieces you wore just once or at most twice. In most cases, dressier items you wear to funerals and weddings fall into this category. There is no need to stack your wardrobe with these items if you can remove them and store them carefully until needed. There are lots of storage options available on the market.
There will also be pieces that you have never worn and this may be because you do not like that item! Maybe it is too big, too small, ill-fitting,wrong colour or just a terrible mistake…

Reassess Your Shopping Habits

To ensure that you remain vibrant and trendy and ‘feel like you’, you may have to reassess your shopping habits. You should be conscious of what you purchase, considering your style and personality and how you want to look. Add a touch of liveliness with colourful clothing and accessories to your wardrobe to express your beauty and overall appearance.
