Looking within

I was working in a couple of different closets last week.  One was quite full, the other had just the bare bones, if that.  Both people longed for “something more” in their wardrobe.  Two women with completely different styles both wanting a look that they felt comfortable in.

One would think that the “full closet” would be  the one with the most choices.  Think again.  Often times there is so much in your closet that you really have to look within and figure out why you have been:  A.  spending with so much abandon or B.  what it is you were looking for when you bought all of that stuff.

It brought me to a thought, which was, “Just because you have a full closet doesn’t mean you have a great wardrobe.”  In fact, it CAN mean you have a useless wardrobe.  Useless in the sense that having a packed closet full of stuff that makes no sense is almost worse than having hardly any clothes.  The guilt that comes with having a full closet of stuff you don’t love is a total drag.

There is something you can do about that though, and that is to start today, from this point forward, only buying clothes you love.  And I mean LOVE.   Clothes that speak to you about who you are and how you want to present yourself.

It takes time and effort and it’s not always easy.  But in the end, I think you’ll find it’s worth it.
