Whether you’ve recently experienced a significant life change, a new phase, or simply feel that your current wardrobe no longer reflects your personality, starting over with your wardrobe can be an empowering and liberating experience. We’ll guide you through the process of refreshing your wardrobe, embracing change, and cultivating a style that represents the confident and authentic you.

Assess Your Current Wardrobe

The first step to starting over is to take a thorough inventory of your current wardrobe. Take out all your clothes and accessories, and categorize them into different piles based on their condition, fit, and how often you wear them. Donate or sell items that you haven’t worn in over a year or those that no longer serve your style.

Define Your Personal Style

Before diving into a shopping spree, take the time to discover and define your personal style. Consider your lifestyle, body shape, and the image you want to project. Create a mood board or follow fashion blogs and social media accounts to find inspiration for your new style direction.

Build a Capsule Wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe consists of essential pieces that are versatile and timeless, making it easier to mix and match outfits. Invest in quality basics like a well-fitted pair of jeans, a classic white shirt, a little black dress, and versatile jackets. These pieces form the foundation of your new wardrobe.

Introduce Statement Pieces

Add personality to your capsule wardrobe by incorporating statement pieces that reflect your personal style. These can be bold prints, unique accessories, or standout shoes that elevate your outfits and make a statement about who you are.

Organize Your Wardrobe

Once you’ve curated your new wardrobe, keep it organized and clutter-free. Use storage solutions like wardrobe dividers, drawer organizers, and shoe racks to maintain order and ensure that each piece is visible and easily accessible.

Are you looking for ways to save money on clothes that also reduce your environmental impact? Upcycling pieces you already own is a great place to start. Instead of throwing out clothes that no longer fit or are out of style, you can give them new life by repurposing them into something new and unique. With a few simple techniques, it’s possible to revamp your existing pieces in a way that benefits your wallet, your closet, and the planet. Here are some of our favorite ways to upcycle clothes: 

Dye Them

Whether your pieces are faded or you simply don’t feel your best in a particular color, dying your clothes is an easy way to give them new life that doesn’t require any particular skill. Just choose a color you like, ideally, one that’s darker than your piece’s original color, and follow the directions on the box. 

Turn Jeans Into Shorts

You can upcycle an old pair of jeans by turning them into a new pair of shorts—all you need is some scissors and a bit of creativity. Simply cut the jeans to your desired length, and add some fun details like lace trim or patches. We recommend cutting off less than you think you need to start. You can always cut more, but you can’t add the fabric back once it’s gone. 

Make Pillows & Blankets

One of the best ways to upcycle old sweaters is by making them into cozy blankets or pillows. Cut your sweater into two squares or rectangles, sew them together, and stuff them with filling to create a new pillow for your space. If you have several sweaters you no longer wear, you can sew them together for a fun patchwork quilt.
