Nothing to Wear!

My closet is packed, but anytime I open the door, all I can think is, “I have nothing to wear.” What are some good ways to mix up your wardrobe so you don’t feel like you’re wearing the same thing all the time?

Don’t worry, I think every girl has this problem, I definitely do! My biggest advice is to stay organized. Because I am such a color person, I have my closet color coordinated. This helps me to easily mix and match my outfits, or choose what to wear based on color. Periodically clean out your closet and donate the clothing that you haven’t worn in a year (trust me if you didn’t wear it last year, I doubt you will this year!). Throwing things out will savor space for new items! I also have  three different “go to” outfits in case I am in a fashion rut (try to have your safe outfits consist of a casual outfit, going out outfit, and professional outfit to cover all possible fashion crisis when your in a rush). Invest in classic wardrobe pieces that you know will get you a lot of wear (i.e a black blazer you can easily throw on for work, or pair with a dress to go out at night).  Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! A belt could change the whole look of your outfit, shoes could transform you from day to night, and a colorful purse may add that extra pop of color.
