WHY YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR? 4 REASONS

You wake to another beautiful day, you head to your closet, open the doors to look for something to wear. One hour later (hehe just kidding but you know what I mean) of rummaging through your sizable collection of clothes, you end up flailing your arms in aggravation and crying out, “I have nothing to wear!”
Just to realize that you still have a couple of unopened shopping bags and packages in the corner, and so you rush to open them. You find brand-new blouses and pants, still with price tags on them, to only angrily toss them a side not wanting to wear xthem either.

Is this you?

You are not alone, this problem plagues a lot of women. So, let me help you sort out the dilemma. Here are 4 reasons you don’t have anything to wear!


1. Shopping too much

Though you may think you have nothing to wear, you actually might have too many clothes. When your closet and drawers are cluttered, you’re unable to see what you actually have. This might mean that it’s time to purge your closet.

When you go through your closet to declutter and organize it, you’ll find things that you don’t even remember buying. The idea is to identify items that you want to keep, upcycle, donate, sell, or toss away.

When you’re able to see what you actually have available, it’s easier to curate outfits to fit your needs.



2. Not clear on your personal style

Your personal style is how you express yourself through fashion. Knowing your personal style helps determine what kind of clothes you want to wear and, therefore, purchase.

When you lack clarity on your personal style, you may end up buying clothes that you don’t like. Ultimately, this leads to a closet full of clothes that you don’t want to wear and the thought that you have nothing to wear.

This can be easily avoided by simply learning more about your personal style. When you know your personal style, you can shop for items that you will love and, ultimately, wear. 


3. You don’t have basics

If you’re thinking you don’t have anything to wear, it could be because your wardrobe lacks diversity. This means that you have too many of the same types of pieces. For example, you own a ton of black dresses and or the same wash of jeans.


4. Lack of cohesiveness

Although you may own lots of individual pieces of clothing lining your closet and drawers, they may lack cohesion. So when trying to curate an outfit, you fall short.

For example, the purple leather skirt looked amazing when you bought it, but you don’t have anything that goes with it.
