Spring is a good time to treat yourself to a fashion show.
To begin, ask yourself whether you still have clothes you wore 20 years ago? Matching bridesmaid dresses and shoes, maybe in multiples, in direct relation to the number of times you were bridesmaid?
Eliminate Extra Sizes:
What about keeping several size ranges of clothes because you’re going to lose weight to fit into them again? The larger sizes, especially, are temptation. It’s too easy to allow ourselves to move up into a larger size if the clothes are there.
And, once you fit into the smallest size you have, you may decide you don’t like them any more. That happened to me-I carried a box of clothes around with me for years until I fit into them again, then when they did fit, I ended up giving them away. The styles and colours looked awful on me!
Prime Real Estate:
A closet is prime real estate in your home. Don’t waste it by storing clothing that you don’t wear. An organized closet will help you get ready for your day more quickly and you will know you always look your best.
The first step to this involves sorting what you have in that stuffed closet.
1. Remove everything from your closet and try on each item with the accessories you wear with it.
2. Hold your own fashion show, try combining items that you usually haven’t worn together-they might give you more combination options in the future.
3. If the outfit doesn’t fit, if you don’t like the colour any more, if the colour doesn’t like you any more, or if it doesn’t suit your lifestyle, put it aside.
4. If the item needs fixing or cleaning, put it aside to have that done.
5. If it looks great on you, you feel wonderful in it and it’s ready to wear, hang it back in your closet.
Be sure to have bags handy to hold the cleaning, repairs and donations. The cleaning and repairs can be taken to the appropriate places right away. What remains will be ready to wear.
Party Time:
Once you’ve removed all the items from your closet that you don’t intend to wear again, invite your friends over with their cast-offs. Host a fashion show, or a closet party with the items in your donation bag and theirs. Enjoy a girls’ evening with appropriate refreshment, entertainment and lots of laughter.
The evening’s agenda could go something like this:
1. Try on each other’s clothes, accessories, etc to fill in the gaps in your wardrobe.
2. Throw conservatism aside to benefit from your friends’ talents for colour and accessory combination if they’re different from yours.
3. Take the remainder to the charity of your choice. Remember, your goal is to clear out once, not several times dealing with the same clothes.
After The Party:
Reward yourself when done. Watch for sales to stretch your best wardrobe and enjoy more use from the items you kept. Never bring anything into your home without getting rid of something. And never buy anything that doesn’t go with something you already have. That’s a waste of money.
Another thought-we wear 20 per cent of our clothes 80 per cent of the time. That’s most of our closet filled with clothes we rarely wear. Is it worth having a closet crammed with items that are never worn?
In Future:
To help with next season’s purge. Turn all the hangers the opposite way on the closet rod. After you’ve tried on or worn an outfit, hang it back the normal way. By doing this, you will always know what you wear often and what you don’t.
Being organized about your closet means having your clothes clean, in good repair and ready to wear, without needing ironing when they come out of the closet. It’s a time saver too, knowing that everything is ready to wear whenever you need it. And, you’ll always look your best.
Wishing you organization, in your closet and in your life!

If you end up not enjoying the show, you can always head back home and vow to never go to one again. Regardless, you’ll have some type of funny story to share later in life and now you will not be able to say that you have never seen one before.

There are times when women feel that there is a need for them to have a makeover. Some go about this by changing their hairstyle or changing their wardrobe. What most of these people overlook is that they can also do this by changing their lingerie collection. Any clothing item, no matter how small, has a huge impact on a woman’s confidence. What seems to be trivial would still have influence because makeovers are also much about changing their attitude. For instance, changing how a woman carries herself would have weight on her attitude. This can be simply illustrated by having a woman wear an ensemble that she does not like. Even if it is quite comfortable and even if other people don’t seem to mind wearing it, they would feel queasy, irritable and shy away from the crowd. A woman who is about to get married would buy lingerie for the special day and it does not really matter if no one would see it. This is because fashion is much about how a woman feels about herself when she is wearing those specific items.
Knowing how important each piece of clothing is, it would make sense that lingerie should not only be limited to special occasions. A lot would point out that it would be quite impractical considering the cost of designer lingerie pieces. However, with the expected impact it would have on a woman’s overall disposition, it would be worth a try. Women can take advantage of sheer lingerie for sale for adding different sets of lingerie to add to their collection.
They can choose a piece or a set according to the comfort and support it gives them. Most women also choose depending on when they plan to use it. If it is intended for everyday use then it would make sense to stick to those that would have lesser use of ruffles and strings. Mainly, women should base much of the designs according to their fashion lifestyle. For instance, those people who always don tube tops and tube dresses should understandably forget about straps for their lingerie. Just the same, those who always like wearing thin shirts should forget about embellishments such as buttons, fancy jewels and strings as those would be noticeable underneath a shirt. Meanwhile, if the brassiere or corset top is intended to peep from the top, then the more details, the better.
It does not follow that there would be limited options for sheer lingerie for sale. The truth is that there is no such thing as seasons when it comes to lingerie as they can be used all year round. Other clothing items would often be on sale during certain months such as end of the season. Meanwhile, lingerie does not exactly follow trends. Even designer lingerie is quite flimsy so it is all a matter of taking care of the pieces. Sheer lingerie for sale does not necessarily mean that it can only be used a few times and be thrown away. Moreover, it kind of makes sense to use it for a short while and replace it with a new set. It would be a lot of fun for women.
