The Purge: THROW IT ALL AWAY.
Kidding. Kinda. “Fashion Scientists” claim we only wear 20% of our wardrobe, and I think their math is 100% correct.
Why are we always gravitating toward the same 7 items? They spark serious joy or we loathe laundry or we’re creatures of habit, or all of the above.
“BUT WHAT IF IT COMES BACK IN STYLE?!” Maybe it will. But holding on “just in case” is living in fear. And fuck fear—you’re better than that.
The Panic: What If I Regret It?!
I also hear you saying (or yelling), “BUT WHAT IF I REGRET LETTING IT GO”. You could regret it. But in my experience, the moment it’s out of sight, a big wave of relief will hit you in the best way. And if if if you regret it, second-hand stores are taking over the planet (and hopefully saving it) so I know we can hunt it down.
The goal isn’t to clear out the closet. It’s to build a streamlined, breathable, anxiety-free closet. And if you need more spark-joy pieces after our closet edit, we’ll SHOP. Purge parties and personal shopping are my wheelhouses.
The Power-Up: Your Capsule Wardrobe
The key to a truly effortless wardrobe is creating a capsule wardrobe—a curated collection of timeless pieces that you wear every day. Forget about a closet full of stuff you barely touch. Instead, focus on versatile, high-quality items that you love and that work together seamlessly. Start with classic staples like well-fitting jeans, a tailored blazer, and a perfect white tee. Fast fashion is out, quality is always in.
