Style Tip: How to Edit

If you’re anything like me, your closet has WAY too many clothes. With an abundance of fast fashion stores, (Forever 21, Topshop, H&M), its hard not to have a ton of clothes.

However the first step to achieving style is learning how to edit. Your closet should only contain amazing choices-it’s much easier to be inspired when you see five remarkable pieces than when you see twenty-five average pieces.

Here are six tips on editing your closet and shopping habits.

1. Throw out what you don’t wear and what doesn’t look good on you: For every 20 items you toss, buy 1 killer piece



2. Buy the right size: It’s better to buy the realistic size and enjoy the way the clothes make you feel at the moment



3. Don’t be sucked in by the sale tag: If you are never going to wear the item-you don’t need it



4. Don’t play it too safe: A closet full of safe choices is no fun! You should wake up and be inspired by what is in your closet.



5. Do not buy according to the trends: Wear what suits you and what makes you comfortable



6. Be ruthless when you edit: Do not keep items for sentimental reasons. Do not keep items because you paid a lot for them, or because they will fit again. If you haven’t worn them in years, you will never wear them again.
