How to Give Your Closet an Audit

simplifySix seconds. That’s how much time you have to make a first impression. It is important that your image represent you well. Now and then we each need to do a Wardrobe Rehab. The best way to start this process is to take an audit: Who are you? What do you wear? What you do have and need? Maybe you are a Casual Beauty living an Exotic life or perhaps your not working in a office any more but your closet still thinks you are. These are important factors to consider when assessing what to do with What’s in Your Closet. This first step in renovating your image is the most important. I want to encourage you to actually do it, so I have created a fun (& free!) worksheet to go along with this blog; click here to get it.

What kind of work do you do?

Your career choice is a great indication of which style (or Img.ID) you are because it represents your heart. Delicate Beauties don’t really enjoy office work like a Refined Beauty does. Glamorous Girls would be stressed out at any job a Gamine would choose. When you Know Who You Are, you know what you need.

What kind of coverage do you need?

What kind of formality is required of you at work? How many outfits do you need for workout, errand or at-home days? How often do you dress up and go out? Are accessories important to you and your look? (They are for some Img.IDs!) There is a wonderful freedom in knowing which part of fashion is the key to enhance your type of beauty. I have included the most import focus for each Img.ID in your worksheet.

What do you already have that works well for you?

Take this week to wear as many of your favorite items as you can. Take a picture of yourself in each completed outfit and use the chart in your worksheet to document what fits, flatters and makes you feel confident. Next week we will start weeding.
