Wardrobe Edit Day: Step-by-Step

When the day arrives, commit to going through every single item in your closet.

As you edit, separate pieces into the following clearly defined piles:

• Alteration – items that fit the guidelines but need tailoring

• Donation – items in good condition that no longer serve you

• Sellable – valuable pieces suitable for resale

• Gifts – items you know someone else would enjoy

• Garbage – worn-out items that are beyond use

The only items that belong in the garbage pile are pieces that are worn out, damaged, or no longer wearable by anyone.

Condition & Replacement Assessment

For each item, ask:

• Does it look old or tired?

• Can it be refreshed or altered?

• Should it be replaced with a better version?

If an item needs replacing, immediately add it to your shopping list.

If an item is not in your color palette or does not support your blueprint, move it to the sell, donate, or gift pile accordingly.

What Earns a Place in Your Wardrobe

Every item you keep should meet these criteria:

• Correct cut for your body structure

• Appropriate fabric weight and movement

• be your Color Palette

Capsule Creation

Once you’ve edited your wardrobe, begin creating capsules based on your lifestyle and daily routine, such as:

• Work capsule

• Weekend capsule

• Winter capsule

• Summer capsule

• Resort capsule

Each item should live within a capsule.

Capsules help you:

• Rotate outfits intentionally

• Stay inspired

• Avoid wearing only 20% of your wardrobe

Final Organization & Next Steps

Once the edit is complete:

1. Organize everything back into your closet by capsule

2. Review your shopping list

3. Begin adding the missing pieces intentionally

This is a process, but once your wardrobe is fully curated, everything will complement you—while making daily dressing effortless.

Your closet will begin to support your self-image, confidence, and consistency every single day.

Feel free to send photos of any items you’re unsure about—I’m happy to help you decide whether they truly work for you.
