Quality Over Quantity
Focusing on quality over quantity is really going to make a difference in how well your wardrobe comes together. Taking some time out to do a total assessment of your clothes to see what all you have and what all you may be missing is key. Once you’ve assessed your wardrobe, you’ll want to write down a list of quality clothing items you’ll need (i.e. a coat, denim jeans, black leggings, plush sweater, etc.) and begin your search for them.
You’ll quickly begin to realize that these items are timeless and can be worn with different outfits—different ways. Having good quality clothing that will hold up for seasons to come is what matters—you can have 30 pairs of jeans, but if the quality of those jeans aren’t durable—they’re all a waste.

Review What You Currently Have
We as women tend to accumulate and hold onto things that we either rarely wear or never wear, and honestly it’s doing us no good. Take some time to simply face your fears aka your closet. A few questions to ask yourself are “Do I have a ton of black shirts, but not enough white?” “Do I own a pair of tennis shoes or brown sandals?” Once you’ve sorted through all of your clothing and have accumulated what you do and don’t have in your wardrobe, make sure you find what fits your vision and what doesn’t.
Sometimes we may not realize it, but we tend to purchase things that are similar to current things we already have in our closet. By reviewing what you currently own—this will help eliminate buying duplicates and of course save some coins.
