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:
Organize everything back into your closet by capsule
Review your shopping list
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.
