Winter wardrobe challenge! Ready , steady go go go !!

 The last few drops of summer are upon us and winter is rearing its chilly head , it's time to dig out the winter clothes and brace ourselves for the dark nights . Follow these five easy steps to get your winter wardrobe streamlined and easy to use!

Step 1. Empty your wardrobe of anything you know you will not wear untill next summer . We will be heading towards making a wardrobe which is both winter and summer compatible but I shall be doing a seperate post on that at a later date . So for now empty everything on your bed . Now is a good time to assess what hasn't been worn , what was uncomfortable , what didn't make you feel a million dollars , or anything you don't love . If it fits any of those catagories donate immediately ! 

Step 2 . Wash but don't iron as you'll end up doing it again next summer ! And put away .

Step 3. Get out all winter clothes . Go though each item . Do you love it ? Does it fit ? Does it make you feel fabulous? If not donate it ! 

Has it got labels on it? Was it expensive ? It doesn't matter , let it go , give yourself permission to get rid of it without the guilt . ( I have an earlier post about this if you're struggling with letting go !) 

Ok , you're ready to  wash and put back in your wardrobe . You should now have heaps of space to view your minimal wardrobe and should be able to create many more outfits without the donated clothes weighing you down .

Step 4 repeat steps 1-3 with coats , boots and shoes ! 

Step 5 repeat all steps for the kids wardrobes too!
