#1 Detox your wardrobe
Start reorganising your wardrobe and do some sorting while you're at it. Get rid of things you haven't worn in 6 months or longer but keep staple pieces like the white button-down, blue and black denims, and the little black dresses. Sometimes you may find that long forgotten fashion piece you might want to wear again.

#2 Customize
Perhaps before throwing out clothes you haven't worn in awhile, consider customizing them. If you own a sewing machine at home and know how to do some home couture, this step is a must. Add some vintage badges to that plain old-fashioned skirt, swap neutral coloured buttons for colourful ones, or snip those ill-flattering pants to thigh-length with a pair of scissors. Another idea is to identify the one piece you wear too often and find ideas to modify the piece.

#4 Change your look
Change your hair colour, get a haircut, experiment with the shape of your eyeliner, or simply opt for a different coloured lipstick. There's so much you can do to change your look. Do something you've never done before. If you're accustomed to the little earring studs, try wearing a dangling pair. If you're always seen with smokey eyes, try the neutral palette for a change. The freedom is yours and be confident!

#5 Go (smart) shopping
Now that you have your wardrobe and look figured out, it's time to do some shopping... the smart way. While mainstream high street brands offer the latest fashion items, consider going to thrift stores or obscure little shops away from the major retailers for unique finds for less. Only buy things you can see yourself wearing again and again, and remember, if you don't love it at the store, you won't like it at home either.

Do the pieces in your closet not inspire you anymore or do you feel like you’ve been wearing the same items for a while now? Well, then it’s time for an update and we’re here to help.

Many times we open our wardrobe thinking, “I have nothing to wear.” You might be staring at a closet full of skirts in various colours and tops in various prints, but your treasured armoury still leaves you uninspired.

Being stuck in a style rut only means one thing: it’s time to revamp your wardrobe. Before you make this a reason to go on a shopping spree, visit our gallery for five (affordable) must-dos on how to refresh your fashion collection. Inevitably, retail therapy is on the list, but so are doing some home couture to customize the pieces you already have, and checking our site for the latest fashion inspirations!

You might also want to step away from your closet and step closer to the mirror. See what has stayed constant for the past few years. Have you had long, black hair for too long? Maybe this is the time to experiment with something different!

What do you say, new wardrobe, new you?
