Step 8

Overhaul Your Wardrobe

Time to shop! Write a list of everything you want to buy eventually and organise it by priority. What pieces would have the biggest impact on your closet and your ability to express your style? Buy those first!

Why

If your wardrobe needs a serious overhaul you probably don’t have the funds to go out and buy every piece of your ideal wardrobe right now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start dressing according to your personal style right now. The trick is to figure out which pieces would give you the most bang for your buck and buy them first. Then, as your budget allows you can shop for pieces lower down on your list of priorities.

How

Compare your current wardrobe to your ideal wardrobe and write down every piece that’s missing. Then, organise everything by priority. Prioritise key pieces that truly signify your personal style and that you can wear more frequently over statement pieces and plain basics.

Important: No matter how tempting it may be, do not compromise on quality to buy more pieces. Always aim to find the best quality your budget allows. That way over time you’ll build up a high-quality wardrobe that will last you many years.
