1. Add rich colors to your closet. I am pretty sure your current pieces will be delighted to welcome some fresh tints like green forest, fresh peach, fatal red, romantic indigo, sunny yellow, etc.
2. Mix different fabrics and prints. There’s a world of possibilities to explore, just be careful not to look like you got dressed in the dark.
3. Enjoy some privileged alone time with your closet to compose new outfits and refall in love with those pieces you totally forgot you had and which may still have the tags on.
4. Clean that fashion sanctuary of yours and give away clothes that no longer fit you or that you don’t see yourself wearing for any occasion. Despite your sentimental attachment, remember that all they are really doing is occupying space for no reason; Space you could use for future new babies, not to mention how you will make someone else really happy.
5. Accessorize! Belts, necklaces, bracelets, rings, headbands, ties, bowties, brooches, watches, earings and anything you can think of are always a must to add a special touch to your outfit.
