Make a Shopping List for Gaps

After decluttering, take stock of what’s missing from your refreshed wardrobe—perhaps a versatile blazer, basic tees, or weather-appropriate shoes. Create a focused shopping list based on these genuine needs rather than buying on impulse. This intentional approach ensures each new purchase enhances your closet’s versatility and functionality, helping you build a wardrobe that truly works for your lifestyle.
