Practical Princess Perfect Wardrobe

The season has changed already long ago, but my closet is still full of winter pieces... Perhaps it's better to sit down, have a cup of coffee and make a plan. A while ago I bought the Finnish version of Elika Gibbs' book Practical Princess Perfect Wardrobe (Unelmien vaatehuone). She's a real organizational whizz and wardrobe expert. Kate Moss has said: "Elika is a practical genious..."

Some practical tips to start with:

Go trough your wardrobe and make six piles

• for everyday use
• the precious ones
• "maybe" pile
• no-nos
• needs washing, ironing, repairing
• for another season

When your clothes are hung and organized you are able to see, at a glance, what you have, and crucially don't have. 

Get rid of a piece, if

• the details of it are not your style
• it doesn't fit to your body shape
• the colour is unflattering for your complex or hair colour
• it just doesn't feel right

Save it, if

• it's a classic and made of good material
• it fits to you perfectly
• the colour is right for you
• the shape and material are currently in fashion

The more organized one is, the easier one's life becomes!

This is just something to start with. I will definitely come back to this book asap!

ps. there's no coffee in my cup - it's chaga mushroom drink...
