Fashion magazines often inspire us with their high-fashion and editorial photo shoots. However, some outfits that can be found in magazines are often non-wearable on the streets, while some of them are pricey. Instead of going for the item, think of compares them to your own closet when it comes to silhouettes, colors, and prints. Even if you don’t have all of the components, you’ll you only need one or two small items to complete the look, not a new head-to-toe outfit entirely. Like fashion blogger Doina Ciobanu, you may think of wearing your pastel coat with bold-colored pants, and perhaps a colorful necklace to refresh your style.

The golden wardrobe ratio states that for every three items that stay in your closet, two must be thrown out, donated, or consigned. It might be difficult to toss so much of the clothing you’ve collected over the years, but you have to examine carefully why you’re hanging on to so many items, especially if you’re not wearing them.

  1. Follow the “first in” and “last out”.

Most women wear 20% of their closet 80% of the time. So, instead of wearing the same small percentage of your closet every week, opt for “first in” and “last out” wardrobe strategy that will prevent you from wearing a few pieces non-stop. After wearing an outfit, simply hang it in the most remote corner of your closet, and pick from the side that you haven’t worn yet. This way, you can easily see which pieces you’ve recently worn, and which items you may have forgotten about.

  1. Follow the rainbow colors.
