It may be that you feel that a beautiful collection of clothes is only available to
the A-lister group, royalty, heads of state and of large international companies
I can understand that
It’s convenient to think that somewhere else someone has a better life than you
evidenced by the wonderful wardrobe full of carefully chosen clothes that all suit each other
shoes for every occasion and the perfect accessory for every outfit
that someone else has
This is not true though
It might be a story that you are telling yourself because you don’t feel you deserve better
However it is totally realistic to expect to have a beautiful collection of clothes to wear
whatever your age, income level and life situation
Here’s a quick lowdown on what you need to do
Wake up every day to a beautiful collection of clothes
Wear clothes you love and actively engage with what you want to wear
Don’t sleep walk through life in your pyjamas or your jogging bottoms
Stop buying clothes intermittently and ad hoc
Be intentional about what you wear
Only buy items you want to buy
Stop buying random tee shirts cardigans and tops
just because you want to buy something
They don’t serve you
Buy for the long term
Buy the best quality you can
Plan ahead for the sales and buy large luxury items then
If you can’t afford to buy the best quality you would like
You can look equally good in charity shops or thrift shop purchases
it all comes down to planning and taking action
Plan ahead, plan seasonally, and plan for events
Plan to look good at Christmas
at the airport
at the school gate
at home
Every day is an opportunity to look your best
Keep a wardrobe list of items you have and items you want
You keep a budget for everything else
well your wardrobe is no different
Keep a tally of what you’ve got
that’s when you discover you’ve got six black skirts that you don’t like
when you could be wearing something you really look great in
Keeping a tally helps you to budget and to monitor what is in your wardrobe
Refine your style
A-listers are known for their particular style
Develop your own style
Just concentrate on that
Don’t look around and compare yourself to others
Just concentrate on your own life
on your own lane
That’s when you discover that you are the A-lister of your own life
and that’s when your life starts to change
