Where do you stand on wardrobe planning?
What does wardrobe planning look like? In this episode, we talk about a modified capsule wardrobe for kids.
So, how do you start?
1. Start early and small. . .go through clothes and purge anything that is in poor condition or doesn't work. Save what will work fo the next child down for next season-or the next two seasons ONLY.
2. Go to deliberatedayjournal.com and put in your e-mail for access to the FREE wardrobe printable, print it off (one copy for each child) and start making notes about what you have and what you want.
3. Shop! Online, in store, and yard sales and consignment shops are ALL great ways to find the pieces you need. Also-ask friends with kids older than yours where they get their clothes-or what they do when the kids outgrow them! (We shop at Old Navy, H & M, Target, Hollister, Underarmour Outlet, Nike Outlet, Primary).
4. Keep your list for next season! Make notes on what works and what didn't.
If all this sounds overwhelming, take it slow! Do what you can and give yourself grace. If starting fresh is all you can handle, do that.
Some other things to keep in mind:
1. Socks and underwear have a lifespan of about 12 months.
2. Your laundry prowess. If you are really good at laundry, you can probably get by with less. If laundry is not your gift, make sure to have enough clothes to cover laundry delays.
3. Don't overplan. The goal is to have several pieces that can all be worn interchangeably.
4. Get one, cute, well put-together outfit for special occasions and protect it with your life.
5. Kids of ALL ages are hard on clothes. Make sure to bake in extras for when pieces are damaged or lost (how do kids lose so many pieces of clothing!?).
