The closure and beginning of the year are excellent moments to get everything we do not need in our home and a very important part for us is the closet.Don't you feel that it is the perfect opportunity to leave space for everything you want in your life?Not only clothes, of course, but this time we want to focus on helping you make a closet detox.

When doing a closet cleaning it will be easier.In addition, you will leave space for the new clothes you bought and buy at the January offers.But, do not get confused, we do not call to consume more, on the contrary, having this place in order you will see how you avoid excess purchases, because you will not have that common feeling of "I do not have to put on me".
We know that it is a difficult process because there are many pieces that we want to keep for different reasons, but with patience and eagerness for renewal, we will do it.We will divide the process into 3 elections: what remains in the closet, what should leave and what to do with what makes you doubt, do I leave it or do not leave it?
The first step we suggest to do a good closet cleaning is to identify everything you are going to leave.The idea is to keep only clothes and accessories you really use and make you feel beautiful.
The basics of the closet are those pieces that you can combine with many others and dress on several occasions.For example, black pants is one because it combines with everything and, varying the accessories, you can take it to different events, to work, to a dinner.

Leave those in good condition and you like them.If you need any you can include it in your shopping list and acquire it when you can.By having your basics you will achieve a functional closet because you can make many combinations.
Some of the most common are: black pants, white shirt and shirt, black dress without many ornaments (the famous Little Black Dress), jeans in navy blue and straight, black, gray or blue blazer.There are also for seasons, a black, gray or beige coat is indispensable in winter.
If you know what the style you want to develop is, identify the key pieces to keep them in your closet.In an image advice they could help you define it, but you can also see a lot.
Some are: classic (white shirt, neutral colors, timeless pieces, for example), romantic (flowers, lace, pastel tones), preppy (designs inspired by school uniform, moccasins, sailor stripes), rocker or punk (leather effect, jacketbiker), Bohemio (Print of flowers, artisanal necklaces), fashionista (wears with trends from the moment).

But if you don't want to enter this topic for now, identify the pieces you use a lot and are already as part of you.For example, if you always use a biker jacket that is a basic piece for you;If you wear a lot of striped print, you can't miss a shirt (or several) with that print.

Neutral colors allow you to make many combinations between them and with other tones, are: black, navy blue, white, beige, coffee or brown, even light pink if it is among your favorites.

You can also keep those timeless pieces and with versatile cuts, that is, with them we look for the same, which can be combined several times and with many pieces, such as pants or straight skirt in a neutral or unicolor tone, for example.
"The clothes that make you feel beautiful" must stay, regardless of the above.It is one of our favorite advice shared by Image Advisor Daniela Kammoun, founder and director of Project Glam.When a piece, accessory or outfit makes you see and feel beautiful gives you something else...And that is self -security.

Now we go with the most difficult part for some.Take out what does not work (at least for you) of the closet, what we do not like, what we do not use and what we do not look good.
-You must say goodbye to what does not make you feel pretty even if it is in perfect condition.-The pieces that do not favor you according to your body type, that you know you don't look good, but you bought excited in an offer or they gave you.For example, it makes you see more belly than other clothes.-The you don't use, but you have a lot of emotional attachment.Quiet!If you are not yet ready for the separation of that garment that brings you beautiful or moving memories, guide it protected in another space, but take it from your closet.-Bye!To the broken, old and worn.-If it is not your size, it should also come out.

In the process you will have doubts, then ask yourself if that piece with which you do not know what to do could have a second chance with the help of a sewing or modification arrangement.Take it to take it to the expert or do it if you have that talent.Just return it to the closet when ready, you have measured it and you are sure that you will use it again.

Daniela Kammoun advises to organize by parts (shirts, pants, dresses ...) and colors (dark, lights, prints), also have the bags and accessories in view for better choice.The idea is to have everything ordered and in sight to make combinations agilely, because according to her, and we agree, what is not seen is not used.And in a messy closet maybe you are losing yourself to use treasures.
