Put all your clothes in one place. We all notice our closets get disorganized. The first step is for you to neatly take all of your clothes etc. out of your closet. Then, put the ones you do not want in a pile to donate or sell somewhere.
Look at your clothes! This is the most important step in the process. Look at them and think 'Do I wear the same pattern of outfits over and over again?' and, 'Do all of these look the same, just in different colors?' Put clothes that you either have a duplicate of or you are just tired of it in a pile separately from your throw-out or sell/ donate pile pile. The items in separate pile can be spiffed up by doing something as simple as using scissors to cut off extra beading, so they don't look the same as other similar items.Make Your Wardrobe New Without Buying Anything Step 2Bullet1.jpg
Pair up the outfits you normally wear. If you normally wear a green t-shirt with a logo on it and jeans, that would be a pair. Try to find out where your weaknesses are. Maybe you always wear a red blouse with your black cardigan. When you have them all paired in the basic piles, move onto the next step.
Try pairing your items of clothing up with different ones from usual. Bring out your shoes and jewelry. Make an outfit pop with an awesome necklace. Or, on the make-up side, wear a different color of lip gloss, eye-shadow, lipstick, or blush with an outfit that doesn't have a lot of spark.
If you're in a creative mood, maybe do one of the following: You can get fabric paint and splatter different colors on a top you may wear out to the mall. Or, get some iron-ons, and iron them on for a different feel. Maybe, you could make some old and ugly jewelry look new again by cleaning it off- a simple thing like that could make it wear-able!
Look at patterns online, if you have some sewing skill you can easily alter most clothes. If not, you could always take them to a seamstress or a tailor as long as they'll make your alter for free, otherwise, you'll have to buy their services.
Clean the rest of your closet (Yes, like getting extra junk out, dusting, e.t.c.). It will make you want to look at your closet more, and not avoid it.
Put your clothes back, but do not put a pair of jeans by a t-shirt. Designate an area for t-shirts, and area for blouses, and area for skirts and jeans, and an area for jackets. While putting them away in their designated areas, try to put them in color order, so when you want a red top, you can find one lickety-split.
Follow by putting everything else back in an organized manner.
Step back and enjoy your wondrous closet! Enjoy!
