One’s closet is often an indication of one’s self-image. A cluttered closet suggests a cluttered lifestyle and an image that might need defining. Therefore, before thinking of a new wardrobe, start by having a look at what you already own. Of equal importance, before contemplating new purchases, it is important to have an assessment done of your closet and decide what to keep and what to toss in order to create a versatile wardrobe in your desired personal self- image. Every piece of clothing “in your closet should ultimately be flattering for your body type and suit your lifestyle”[1]. “An overstuffed closet is chaos as you try to dress.” In order to avoid making the same mistakes and break free of styles that have become habit rather than style enhancing, you must re-examine every article of clothing in your closet one at a time. Most individuals have closets that are over-stuffed with more than we need or get around to wearing. “It’s all too easy to get caught up in the illusion (and comfort) that in a stuffed closet we have a wardrobe that is brimming with possibility. In reality, a messy closet is stressful. An overstuffed closet is chaos as you try to dress.” We always want more clothes because the lure of something new, or the next transformation, is alluring or appealing[2]. I suggest owning fewer pieces of excellent quality. Excellent quality last always, and outlast temporary fads and fashion, and tend to be classic over any other pieces, especially as we choose the well-cut pieces that are the style bedrock of any well-conceived wardrobe[3]. Our objective is a wardrobe that is fluid and consistent with your self-image. A closet filled with pieces that relate to each other, that each piece picked up to wear is a piece that enhances as oppose to not. No new piece joins the party unless you can create at least two additional new looks with it within your desired self-image. Ideally, there should be a now-and-later quality built in to your choices with fabrics that bridge seasons and zones, and even the “epoche” i.e., period of time. Think of cleaning your closet as an act of liberation, and revamping of your look and self-image. A female needs a system. She needs to know what is in her closet and drawers. A closet sweep is step in achieving organization, discovery of, and laying the foundation of your self-image.
