Wardrobe Diagnostics: Why you don't have anything to wear
Who hasn't been there...
Your closet is jam-packed but you just cannot come up with a single outfit to wear. Despite how common the symptom is, the underlying cause can be hard to pinpoint. Why?

One 'sick', undeveloped component could infect the entire organism and leave you with nothing but a whole lot of frustration and wardrobe anxiety.
To help you figure out your wardrobe's individual weak spot, I've created a little flow chart complete with a recommended course of treatment for each diagnosis. If you want to start treatment right away, go down to the bottom of this post for resources and a couple of first-step ideas.
