Top Tips for optimizing your wardrobe space

Last month, Nutri-Style had a great turn out for our Image Insights Night; for those of you who missed out, we have included our top tips in this article to help you get organized. The feed back on the event was very positive and many women headed home equipped with great ideas to make the most of their wardrobe space. You can do the same.

1. GET STARTED AND EMPTY YOUR WARDROBE!

The fist step with this large task, is to set aside one day and empty your wardrobe and draws. Pile them on your bed, chairs, racks or ironing board. There will be no going back after this.

2. SEPERATE AND DIVIDE!

Divide all your clothes into 3 piles; "Keep", "Toss" and "Maybe."

Pull out the clothes you love and the ones that make you look great. Be very critical at this point.

3. DUMP THE JUNK!

All of those thread bare, ripped and stained clothes must go in the toss pile. If you are keeping it for sentimental reasons, pack them in a box and place in your storage area. It is taking up vital space. If you have pieces you love, and they just need mending, keep them in a pile on the side and take them to the tailors. Do not put them back until you have done so.

4. NEAT AND TIDY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!

Now that you are left with 2 piles (keep and maybe), start to place your clothes away in a neat and tidy fashion.

HANGING- Hang all pants together, skirts together and tops together. This way you can recognize any gaps, as well as being more able to co-ordinate different looks.

FOLDING- Fold all knit wear, cami's and shorts.

5. DOES IT STAY OR DOES IT GO?

If you find yourself stuck and have many items in your maybe pile, take each garment and ask yourself these questions:

1. Does the colour suit me?

2. Does it flatter my body shape?

3. Is it the perfect fit, if not can it be tailored?

4. Have I worn it in the past year?

5. Do I feel great wearing it?

If you are cleaning out your clothing, remember those who need it more and visit the Salvation Army Bins. A location near you can be found. Visit www.salvationarmy.org.sg

When you have your wardrobe organized, you will be able to identify what you can mix and match and what classic pieces you are missing. This will save you money when taking that next shopping trip, as you will be more aware of what is needed.

Beauty - Making sense of scents

Have you ever wondered why a particular perfume smells great on the tester but not on your skin? Or why some perfumes seem to linger on your skin all day while others fade after a couple of hours? Even why some perfumes irritate you and give you a headache?

This is because we all have different pigmentation which determines the colour of the outer skin. Discovering the under base of your complexion, will indicate what your season is.

Nutri-Stlyes colour analysis can open your world to a whole new discovery about yourself. Discoveries that will help with areas as clothing, accessories and perfume! For those of you who know your season, we have road tested some beauties to help take the confusion out of perfume shopping.

SUMMER- When you think of summer, think light and flowery. Avoid heavy perfumes that will over power the Summer person's delicacy. We love:

Champs Elysees by Guerlain.

     Other favorites to try:

     Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

     Chanel no.22 by Chanel

     Oscar de la Renta by Stern

SPRING- A springs perfume is very lively. The light sent of flowers with a slight spice of lemon or musk is best suited. We love:

Sheer by Stella McCartney

     Other Favorites to try:

     Incanto dream by Salvatore ferragamo

     Calvin Klein by Calvin Klein

     Chanel no.19 by Chanel

Autumn - The most desirable for an Autumn are scents that are tweedy and spicy. Scents that remind you of nature are best. Very muted comes to mind. We love:

Amour by Kenzo

     Other Favorites to try:

     Chance by Chanel

     Angel by Thierry Mugler

     Coco by Chanel

WINTER - Known for the dramatics, a winter's perfume should have heavier flower scents with a touch of sweetness. Avoid spice and woody. And go for an Oriental flavor. We love:

Opium by YSL

     Other favorites to try;

     Dioressence by Dior

     Escada by Escada

     Passion by Elizabeth Taylor

Keep in mind perfumes are very personal. If you love a perfume from another season, don't stop wearing it. And try before you buy. Wear it on your wrist for the day, and ask yourself, does it make me feel beautiful?
