Bad Credit Guide to a Style Makeover
The New Year is an ideal time to scour through your wardrobe and have a clear out, especially as there’s a chance you can make some money from doing it.
Research suggests that on average we wear only 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, and women have a staggering 22 items of clothing which they never wear.
“It will help save time when you are deciding what to wear each day and can inspire new styles as you discover clothes you forgot you owned.”
You might feel attached towards certain items of clothing, and that’s perfectly reasonable, but nows the time to make a stand and use some of the following tips to make your wardrobe seem brand new:
Start with a clean slate…
Don’t panic, we’re not suggesting you throw everything away, simply empty your wardrobe and drawers so you can see exactly what you own.
You’ll be able to take account of all those tops and jeans which no longer fit and impulse purchases which still have their tags on.
“Take some time to clean your wardrobe,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“You probably don’t realise how dirty it gets and it’ll help keep your clothes fresher for longer.”
To keep or not to keep?
It’s important you take a step back when trying on the clothes before putting them back in your wardrobe and ensure you’re totally honest with yourself.
Does the item fit you, does it go with other parts of your wardrobe and how does it make you feel and look?
“If you’re not sure you have the strength to do this on your own ask a friend to help you,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“It’s amazing how attached you get to that bargain dress you’ve never worn, but passing it on or selling it could help pay towards your bad credit debt.”
What do you need?
Think about your lifestyle and what different occasions you need specific types of clothes for.
Do you attend regular events you need to dress for, do you need more work clothes than weekend clothes or are you a gym-oholic so need lots of tops and leggings?
Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You, said; “Buying clothes you actually wear is not as fun as shopping for a cocktail dress, but if your going to spend on a credit card then at least make sure it’s something you will actually wear.”
Organising
Now that you’re aware of what fits and what you need, it’s time to sort your clothes into piles.
“It’s worth separating your wardrobe into stacks of clothes you wish to keep, adjust, sell, store or chuck,” advised Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“Although you may be attached to a pair of trousers you wore ten years ago, it’s unlikely to come back into fashion, and if it does, the style won’t be exactly as it was previously.”
Safe keeping
If you’re really attached to something and want to keep it for your children then archiving it can save you lots of space in your wardrobe.
Make sure you store them somewhere free from damp and direct sunlight such as the attic, a spare room or even under the bed, but check them regularly.
You can even buy vacuum storage packs for only a few pounds which will keep your clothes well protected and take up minimal space.
The same can be done for clothes which are out of season, such as the clothes that you would normally take away on holiday.
There’s no point in letting a summer dress take up lots of room in the middle of winter, you won’t wear it, no matter how sunny it may be.
Military precision
Organising your clothes into sections within your wardrobe will mean you can see what you’ve got quicker and easier, without taking out a home improvement loan to get a bigger wardrobe.
Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You, said; “People only tend to wear a small percentage of the clothes they own because they can’t find certain things or there’s too much in their wardrobe.”
Separate your trousers, dresses, skirts, tops, coats and jackets etc, and then put them into colour sections.
Equilibrium
Having everything hanging together makes it easier for you to see exactly what you have, and more importantly, what you’re missing.
Next time you’re out shopping, even though you may be tempted by yet another striped top, you’ll think back to your wardrobe and remember you already own ten similar items and move onto something you haven’t got.
Two’s company
Hunting for a matching shoe is one of life’s great annoyances, organising your footwear can save you plenty of time and energy.
Some people store theirs in boxes with pictures on them so they know what’s inside, whilst others use racks or shelves.
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
“Once you’ve finished organising your wardrobe make sure you schedule in your next clear out date, preferably when the season changes,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
Your first clear out will be the biggest, but doing it at regular intervals will make it more manageable and therefore quicker every time.
