It reminds me that scene in Clueless where Cher accesses her wardrobe on her computer so she can pick her outfits. I will look at the daily connoisseur and get educated on the 10 item wardrobe, thanks for sharing the link here Madeleine.

I will try a look that i bought at the op shop or through a swap, and am more inclined to try it because i know that i can donate it back into the cycle. Relocating is a great way to break down your wardrobe and get rid of the non essentials that hopefully someone one else would want. Funny you mention about pretending to pack because I did this with my clothes at the start of Winter. I put away clothes that i was not sure about. Whatever was still left there at the end of the season went to charity and clothing exchanges during my spring clean. <br /><br />Can I come to your clothes swap in Tonga?! Seriously, if you start one I would love to come...Erin Rhoadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225185498560687113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033465662037447681.post-19018227600760485862014-10-15T11:41:45.600+11:002014-10-15T11:41:45.600+11:00Hi Erin,

That, and salesladies telling blatent lies about whether or not something looked good!<br />Now I shop armed with a photo of what is already in my very small wardrobe. It is so liberating, and makes it very easy to walk away with nothing if it's not right. And now I do wear all items in rotation. The starting point for me was learning about the '10 item wardrobe' on thedailyconoisseur blog.<br /><br />Madeleine.xAussie Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668698720239626709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033465662037447681.post-68826348321482878412014-10-10T13:00:57.841+11:002014-10-10T13:00:57.841+11:00I am a big fan of op shopping, but have never been...I am a big fan of op shopping, but have never been to a swap. Might have to start one, as not sure they are happening in Tonga as yet! <br /><br />I find I get to experiment with more unique items by op shopping - if they don't make me feel fantastic, I can always donate them back. My favourite item is a designer skirt - an absolute bargain at $6 and beautiful to wear.<br /><br />I'm a Health and Relocation Coach - so my clients are on the move. A great time to reduce what's in the cupboard to what you wear that 30% of the time - and pass on the rest. And if you're not on the move, you could always pretend you did have to pack up everything you own to do so!Kylie Bevanhttp://healthwellnessrevolution.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033465662037447681.post-90437676218401655592014-10-03T09:16:47.552+10:002014-10-03T09:16:47.552+10:00Shoes are my choice, not only are they already wor...Shoes are my choice, not only are they already worn in and comfortable, you can get some pretty neat ones no one else will have :) adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008382824793283013noreply@blogger.com
