Spring Is in the Air - Is Your Closet Ready?

If your closet is starting to feel more “what even is this?” than “I love this,” you’re not alone. Spring is the perfect time to reset your wardrobe - without the overwhelm.

This isn’t about purging everything or buying a whole new wardrobe. It’s about reconnecting with what you love, letting go of what you don’t, and refreshing your style in a way that feels like you.

Here’s how to clean out with confidence, one hanger at a time.

Step 1: Take Stock (Without the Stress)

Before you start the sorting frenzy, pause. Start with a single drawer. Or just the tops. Or even just shoes. This isn’t a race-it’s a reset.

3 Questions to Ask as You Edit:

• Have I worn this in the past year?
• Would I be excited to wear this tomorrow?
• Does this still reflect who I am now?

If it passes the test, it gets to stay. If not, don’t worry - we’ve got a plan.

Step 2: Keep What Makes You Feel Fabulous

Think of this as your "power pile." Keep the pieces that:

• Fit your body as it is today
• Make you feel good when you wear them
• Pair easily with other things in your closet

Bonus Tip: How to Build Around a Hero Piece

Let’s say you have a beige button-down you love. Here’s how to give it new life:

• Add colour: Pair with comfy capris or a patterned scarf
• Add structure: Layer with a denim jacket or tailored cardigan
• Add contrast: Mix textures like linen + knit, or soft + structured
  

“If you’d wear it again tomorrow, it’s a keeper.”

Step 3: Donate - With Kindness, Not Guilt

Saying goodbye to clothes is hard. But holding onto pieces that no longer serve you? That’s a closet energy drain.

Let go of:

• Items that don’t fit (and haven’t for a while)
• Things you “might wear someday” but never do
• Clothes that bring guilt instead of joy
  

“That blazer from 2006? Set it free. Someone else might love it.”

Where to Donate in Canada:

• Dress for Success: Helps women prepare for employment
• Diabetes Canada Clothesline Program
• Local women’s shelters or church clothing drives
  

Giving your clothes a second life is just good fashion karma.

Step 4: Refresh - Thoughtfully

Now the fun part: making space for a little joy. Not a total haul. Not a shopping binge. Just a few intentional pieces that:

• Reflect who you are now
• Mix and match with what you already love
• Feel great on your body (and in your life)
  

How to Shop Smart for a Closet Refresh:

• Pick 2-3 signature colours for the season
• Choose pieces that can dress up or down
• Focus on natural fabrics like bamboo, modal and linen
• Avoid impulse buys-ask, “Will this work with 3+ things I own?”

Here are a few of our favourite spring-ready pieces that tick those boxes:

Step 5: Celebrate the Shift

Whether you cleaned your whole closet or just sorted one drawer, you made progress. And you created space-for ease, joy, and clothes that make you feel like your best self.

No guilt. No pressure. Just more you.
