Organize your closest according to the space and utility. For example, I hang all the tops/blouses/dresses which I wish to wear in the season within my immediate reach. Then I organize types of clothing together (t-shirts, tanks, etc.)

· It fits you perfectly today [not tomorrow, not in future but TODAY!]
· You absolutely love it! Have no doubt in your heart about it
· You can see yourself wearing it at least 3 times at 3 different occasions [or what I do is divide the cost of the item by the number of times “I think” I will wear it, e.g. Jeans $100 and I will wear it at least 10 times = $10 per wear = Worth it!]
And just to prove my point below are two collages -

1. Top - Urban Outfitters |
$26.00 (already worn at least 6 times)
$26 ÷ 6 = $4.33 = Worth it!
![]() |
2. Trousers - BCBG |
$100.00 (...so far worn 3 times) $100 ÷ 3 = $33.33 = Kinda worth it! [Don’t you think?]
P.S. This post was written in Sept 2010. I have worn both these items several more times since then!

Great tips and I love that floral top and those black pants.
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful tips, though clearing the closet seems harder to actually carry it out:P
ReplyDeleteYou look soooo great in shorts woman!!
ReplyDeletei also follow the same rules for wearing outfits and organize in a similar manner I further split the clothes according to types ie all tops divided in prints, solids etc Yours is one blog that inspires me to no end this was the first blog i started reading and still look forward to all the posts :)

ReplyDeleteAnd the DIVA spoke like her true self again:-)

In love with that tan bag!
ReplyDeleteThis division makes a lot of sense! And so does the rule of not wearing a thing and taking it out!
ReplyDeletegreat post !! Thanks for sharing!! : )
ReplyDeleteYour advice is so sound. I followed the first two tips recently and it's made a huge difference in my ability to put things together. You can't work with a jumbled mess of material.
ReplyDeleteExcellent advise. I agree with all especially the bit about footwear. xx
ReplyDeleteAh! Loving your blog. So glad I found it.

I completely agree with the fact that cleaning out your wardrobe and organizing things so they can be seen is the first step on the journey to being a stylish gal!!
ReplyDeleteI nned to think of what you say when I go shopping! Very wise woman! Looking good as usual in all the mix match fits:).
ReplyDeleteInformative post - never looked at shopping this way :) lovely pics too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post Tanvi and with awesome tips! I def agree with the shopping ones and I feel that blogging has actually helped me realize the importance of cost/wear ratio. Love all the urban outfitter top ones and totally think the last pants are worth it! I see a lot more outfits than these three in your future!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, this reminds me I need to clean my closet. Btw, love all your looks.
ReplyDeleteVery good rules.

I love the trousers! And I organize my closet my ROYGBIV, and put away things I don't need in suitcases. Hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDelete:D love the buying tips..will do it everytime I buy something now!
ReplyDeleteLoving your styling tips. Great advice. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteGreat tips. I used to foolishly buy clothes a size smaller thinking, "I will fit into it one day" but that day never came. I now buy the correct size and save myself a lot of money and anguish :) :)
