New Year, New Wardrobe?

With 2013 dawning upon us, millions of women will aspire for a new and improved version of themselves, making it a great incentive for a brand new wardrobe and an empty wallet (preferably from Louis Vuitton or Prada, a girl can dream!)

But why waste your money on an entire new collection of clothes to better yourself? For an improved you, use your imagination and money productively and cautiously. Look through your wardrobe and question yourself on the following;

Which 3 key items would boost my style up a gear?
Perceive your wardrobe as a house, its contents the furniture. What pieces of furniture could be added to turn your house into a home, a better representation of your individual style? What item would bring an extra bit of ' Va Va Voom'? 

Does my wardrobe have the core fashion essentials?
A house can never become a home without the essentials (let alone livable!). With no bed, no sofa, no TV, your house is empty and bare. So how you expect your wardrobe be too? Pull out your notebook and make a checklist on whether your wardrobe has all of the key ingredients of a true fashionsita? Does it have a good pair of jeans tailored for your body shape? A nice crisp white shirt? A leather black jacket? A LBD? If not you know what to do.
With essential staple pieces such as these, you'll be prepared for any event thrown upon you! These essentials are both timeless and versatile; you can always build upon them with accessories, and can be reassured that they will never go out of fashion. 

Do you have any fashion fiasco's hiding in your closet?
In a house, you take out the trash on a regular basis, or it will become a complete bombsite. So why should your wardrobe be any different? You cannot expect to improve on yourself, or your style if you're still laden with excess baggage. It has disaster written all over it. So give your wardrobe a full one on one inspection and get rid of any items that either ;

1. Does not suit your style
2. Does not suit your body shape.
3. Does not fit you. PERIOD.

Do NOT chuck out any items on the reason that "its no longer in fashion". The fashion world is like a cycle, its consistently changing and evolving, but it will always return back to the start. Look at 2012 fashion scene. We had a 1920's throwback with the peplum dress. Don't be surprised it''ll dominate the fashion world again in the future.

Do you really need to buy anything at all?
This question is for headed specifically at all you shopaholics out there! You've shopped til' you've dropped at those Christmas Sales, and now your wardrobe is bursting more than Christina Aguilera's jeans. Your wardrobe isn't like Narnia - it doesn't expand, at at this rate it will explode!

So don't be delusional with the concept of "New Year, New Me, New Wardrobe".(Unless your Courtney Love, then that's a whole new different can of fish!) Invest your money into key pieces that gives your wardrobe the X Factor, this isn't 60 minute makeover honey!

Happy New Year!
