More clothing is being produced and consumed than ever, and as consumers, we need to play our part by reducing our clothing consumption. Here’s how.
I have a love for books, I have always had. One of my dreams as a child was to own a bookshelf full of books that would be mine. My dream quickly came true, but before I knew it, my bookshelf was quite full. I knew I had to set some limits and let go of some of my books to make space for new ones.
This is when I unconsciously developed a decluttering approach that years later would become my staple approach as a professional organiser to help my clients let go. This is how this approach looked for me.
No matter how many clothes you have in your wardrobe, I’m pretty sure you’ve caught yourself saying at some stage “I’ve got nothing to wear” and felt the need to hit the shops and buy more. But have you noticed that the women who tend to be the happiest with their wardrobe are the ones who don’t own, by choice, so many clothes?

Now, a number is very subjective, and, despite the title of this blog, I’m certainly not going to tell you how many clothes you should own 😉 But I’d like to help you look at the number of items of clothing you have in your wardrobe and decide for yourself whether it’s too little, or too much, and how to make your wardrobe work harder for you so you don’t necessarily hit the shops.

The trick to getting started and to keep going is to focus on the benefits you’re going to get from having an organised wardrobe instead of focusing on the task itself. Here are six main benefits for you for having an organised wardrobe.
