Your clothes closet…what it says about you
Greetings!
Spring is here and time to clean out your clothes closet. Just think your clothes have been cooped up in there all winter long! They are just screaming to come out and get some fresh air!
I am sure that many of you are either laughing, saying “oh, yes right”, or “never in my lifetime”! And for the men reading this, I am sure you are saying that this activity must be a “girl” thing.
The answer is everyone needs to clean out their closet on an annual basis. I will beat that some of you do not even know what is hiding in some of the nooks and crannies.
So what does this have to do with image and brand? It is yet another illustration of you and your style. And you want to make sure that the clothes that are taking up space in the closet are ones that enhance and uplift your image.
Over the weekend take some time and spend in your clothes closet. Begin first by standing in front of it and taking a look at the arrangement. See if there is a correlation between the arrangement and your personality and communication style. For example, are the clothes arranged neatly and by color and/or casual, business etc.? If so, you are probably an analytical style, neat and orderly. Is that also reflective of your image?
Second, ploy through all of the items (including shoes, handbags, ties, etc.) and identify them in four categories. The categories include:
Ø Keep (still fits my body and image and is in great shape)
Ø Repair (is a keeper but needs dry cleaning, washing, mending, etc.)
Ø Toss (doesn’t fit my body nor my image, in bad shape)
Ø Donation (is a toss but still in decent shape)
Once you get started you will find the process moves fairly quick. Once this is complete, straighten and organize what is left. The benefits are that now you have an organized clothes closet and will be able to locate your outfits easier, and will only be wearing those items that support, enhance and uplift your image and brand.
And your clothes will thank you!
Please let me know the outcome of your closet spring makeover, we would all enjoy hearing!
