I've been reluctantly washing and packing up my summer clothes this week. I always store clothes that aren’t right for the current season. It gives me more space in the closet I share with my hubby, it helps clothes last longer, and it makes old clothes feel a little new again when I unpack them.
If you want to do the same, here are a few tips that might help:
1️⃣ Roll delicate fabrics to minimize creasing and damage, and if you can be bothered to – roll them with tissue paper for extra protection
.
2️⃣ Try to avoid packing clothes in plastic as it makes fabric sweat. Vacuum pack bags are great for travel, but they’re unkind to fabric longer term. Fabric bags or suitcases are a safer option
.
3️⃣ Wash clothes before packing them away otherwise you’ll open the bag to a horrid musty smell that’s hard to shift

Wear what you love, wear clothes that bring you joy, make you smile, and make you wanna twirl!
.
And when you find an outfit that you love, take a moment to figure out what it is about it that makes it so good. Look at it's silhouette, look at how it sits on your frame and work out WHY you like it so much...then fill your closet with more of that goodness.
.
With more focus and less guessing, you'll have fewer clothes that leave you disappointed, and will be one step closer to creating a wardrobe of clothes you love wearing!

The weather is perrrrrfect at the moment, it's just warm enough for bare legs, and just cool enough for leather moto's. Who else loves this transitional period?

If you’ve ever scrolled your feed and wondered why everyone but you has the ability to dress well. Or worse, that you wish you looked like them, please stop. Your shape is just as beautiful as theirs, and you deserve to look and feel amazing in your outfits, too, you just need a little guidance 💕

Some clothing styles will fit you better than others and some will show your shape off better than others. But if you don't understand your shape then you’ll struggle to identify these styles!

I've created a quick quiz over on my website that will help you identify which of the 4 elementary shapes aligns with yours the most. It’s a great way to simplify your shape so you can better understand it’s proportions, attributes and frustrations. And once you've nailed that, you’ll be able to use clothing to show your shape off to its absolute best!

So please tap the link and take my quiz! It’s FREE!!

If you wear a different size top and bottom, and struggle to find dresses and jumpsuits to fit you well, you should totally check out matching separates. They enable you to create the look of a good fitting dress by mixing sizes. They also have the added bonus of being crazy versatile as they can be split up and mixed with heaps of other items in your closet!
