Numerous articles say most women wear 20% of the clothes in their closet; that can cause Repetitive Wardrobe Syndrome but so can having lots of the same things. If you only wear 20% of what’s in your closet, then that’s an easy fix. But what if you are like me and own so many of the same thing? How do you fix that? This is where a personal shopper or shopping assistant comes in handy, and I bet if you stop and think about it, you probably know someone that dresses with a bit of flair. Why not ask him or her to go shopping with you? After all, we all love spending someone else’s money.
- Suggestion 1: Ask your friend to help you put together an outfit, one that you will wear, that’s a little bit edgy. Because all your clothes look the same, you can’t throw this one in and wear it twice a week, so to get some more mileage out of it, wear it to work, then find another event to wear it for, then wait two weeks and wear it to the office again.
- Suggestion 2: Let your friend pick out one or two flashy pieces that you can wear with multiple items. For instance, you could pair a fun jacket or blazer with a skirt for work and then wear it again with a pair of jeans for a weekend event.
- Suggestion 3: Consider purchasing a few accessories like a chunky necklace or a pair of colorful pumps. Ask your friend to help you pair them with some of your simple or basic pieces to add a little bit of flair.
