If you are lucky enough to be transitioning to a full time or part time telework schedule from now on for your job, you can rejoice because you will likely save money and space when it comes to your wardrobe. But that also means you should do a closet purge so you can have a more organized and useful closet.
Determine how many different outfits you need.
If
you have a set amount of days each week you will actually be in the
office, figure out the total for the month, and then use that as your
goal number for outfits. You can allow some wiggle room as well. So if
you only will be going in 4-5 times a month, then you really only need
anywhere from 6-8 cold weather and 6-8 warm weather work outfits. If
you can get away with less than that, do it!
Try everything on.
It's
probably been a while since you wore some of the things in your closet,
so go through and try everything on. If you need to replace certain
items, make a list.
Purge by category.
Remove
everything from your closet that's work related and put them into piles
by type. So warm weather dresses in one pile, skirts in another, pant
suits in another, and so on. Go through and get rid of anything that is
old or damaged and can't be repaired as well as anything that doesn't
fit. Then go through again and keep your favorites in every category.
You probably won't need 4 black skirts, so try to cut it down to just
2.
Reorganizing your closet.
Some
people group outfits or outfit combos together in their closet in an
entire section dedicated for work outfits. Others just organize their
closet as a whole. Do whatever works for you. But do it so that it's
easy for you to find things on the days you DO have to go into the
office. Also, be sure to dust and vacuum your closet while everything
is out of it.
Don't forget shoes.
Shoes
can accumulate like no one's business, so make sure to include them in
the things you purge through. Keep only what's comfortable and what
you'll actually wear. Make a list if you need to shop for new shoes of
any kid. I always tell people - flats and heels. Make sure you have
beige and black in each since they're so versatile with work outfits.
