CLOSET THERAPY

It's the beginning of a new year. A time when everyone is making unrealistic resolutions that will only last for a few weeks. At least that's what I'm hoping, so I can have my gym back to normal again. While I totally support those who have decided to loose 100lbs by summer and those who have vowed to go to church every Sunday, I believe the best way to start the year off is with a little something I like to call "Closet Therapy".  There is nothing more horrifying than the thought of cleaning out your closet. But it MUST be done! Cleaning out your closet at least twice a year will help you stay organized and keep you from wearing things that are outdated or ill-fitting. Here are some tips to help you out, or if you're feeling completely hopeless, send a Closet 911 email to info@bmcstyle.com. Purging never felt so goooood!

1.    CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR!!!

2.    DO NOT KEEP ANYTHING you haven’t worn in a year!

3.    DO NOT KEEP ANYTHING that does not fit you!

4.    DO NOT BUY the same item/shoes in two different colors.

5.    After you clean out your closet, make a list of the items you need to add to your existing wardrobe. This will help you update your style without going broke!

6.    Only buy items that you absolutely LOVE! Do not buy “trendy” or “seasonal” items.

7.    When you buy something new, hang it where you can see it, until you wear it. This way you won’t shove it into your closet and forget all about it!

8.    Try to find pieces that fit you well and can build onto your existing wardrobe.

9.    Buy items that are age appropriate. You can still be sexy and sophisticated at the same time.

10.    Think about the image you are trying to portray before you go shopping. Ask yourself what do I want this outfit, or my wardrobe to say about me? Then depending on your answers, shop accordingly
