Spring is arriving at last! For most of us, this means excavating the heavy woolen scarves and chunky boots from our closets in favor of summer colors and styles. The key to a perfect warm weather wardrobe isn’t a piece of clothing, it’s a concept: curation.
At a museum, a curator carefully researches and selects collections of fine items to be displayed. We are all the curators of our own style. What does this mean in practical terms? Here are some tips:
-First, separate the winter items you won’t wear in coming months, and put them neatly into storage. This includes footwear, winter scarves, and outerwear. Keep a sweater or two out for those chilly evenings.
-Next, take a fearless inventory of what’s left in your closet. When you come across something you are holding onto for purely sentimental reasons, take a photo and let it go to a new loving home. Anything that doesn’t fit should go straight to the tailor or the donation pile.
-Anything else you haven’t worn in awhile should also go in the charity pile, unless you’ve been holding out for the right piece. Make a written list of items which would help you wear neglected pieces. For instance, has a dress been waiting for the right pair of shoes or accessories? Those items go on your spring shopping list. It helps to take a photo on your smartphone to reference while you shop.
-Lastly, research the trends and colors making a splash.
