Time for a Seasonal Closet Clean Out + Refresh

Before I shop for Fall, I start here.

If you’re on the East Coast, this rainy weekend might be the perfect time to spend a few hours editing your closet and thinking about what is missing, what no longer works and what you have and still love. If you’ve been following me, you know that a couple of years ago I went through an epic closet clean out (over 250 items went to resale!), which was a slog, but out of that, I created a process, The Wardrobe Project, I use seasonally to help keep my mantra of fewer, better, things on track and to also really hone what I love so I have a succinct vision of my “style”. (If you are a paid subscriber and haven’t ordered it before, there is a discount code at the end of the post.)

Instead of thinking of clothes as a costume, we should learn to treat them as our signature—a symbol of who we are and who we strive to be. From my years of experience, the people I’ve come to meet and know who have the best style (some are quite famous for it) learn to stick with what works and rarely stray from their core favorites. They are known for their signature style; the result of their keen eye and constant editing.
