With the changing of the seasons, it’s a great time to review what’s in your wardrobe. Kate Martin State Star Iowa T-shirt If you live somewhere that’s more seasonal, so you have very different clothes from winter to summer, you may put some clothes away and bring others out. Even if you love somewhere that has less difference in the seasons and you wear most of your wardrobe the whole year around, it’s good to assess what’s in your wardrobe at least once a year to make sure that what you’re wearing is earning its place in your wardrobe. This can be a daunting task, but it’s important to take everything out so that you can see exactly what you have. As you do this, make piles for clothes that you want to keep, clothes that you want to donate, and clothes that you need to repair, alter or replace. Try everything on and ask yourself if it still fits well, if it’s in good condition, and if it’s appropriate for the new season. If a piece of clothing doesn’t fit well or is damaged, add it to the donate or repair pile. Is it still in good condition – run what I call the Op shop test by it – as in, would you buy this garment in a thrift store today if it had belonged to someone else? If the answer is no then let it go! We don’t notice our own grubbiness but other peoples turns our stomach! So look at each garment with fresh eyes as if it belonged to someone else. Does it suit your current lifestyle – if it’s from a life you no longer lead and are unlikely to be getting back into for another few years, then it’s better to let it go if you’re not wearing it. Let someone else enjoy the garment while it’s still in fashion rather than holding onto it until it’s dated, and nobody wants it. It’s a much more sustainable option to get rid of things more quickly if they are not right because others are looking for these garments while they are still current. Does it fit your current body and colouring? Is it still working for you and creating the kind of body harmony that makes you happy? Does it fit well and not gape or pull anywhere? Does it sit well when you’re wearing it? Does it still work for your colouring? If you’ve changed hair colour it may be time to reassess the colours that work for you now. If you’ve gained or lost weight it could be a good time to reassess what works for your current body. Do you feel comfortable wearing it? What does comfortable mean to you? Is it physically comfortable? Do you like the fabric and how it feels? Is it mentally comfortable? Does it make you feel like a great version of yourself? Does it communicate what you want it to so it gives you more confidence every time you wear it?. Would you rate it an 8 or higher? If you had to rank it out of 10, would it get at least an 8? If not, it’s not going to give you the confidence that you want. There is no point in keeping 2nd best (or 3rd or 4th best) as you will always reach for something else first.

Los Angeles is one of the world’s biggest cultural hubs. Kate Martin State Star Iowa T-shirt It’s the spiritual home of Western entertainment, acting as a filming location for the world’s biggest blockbuster movies, a sunny backdrop for countless hit TV series and a home to hundreds of A-list celebs – from Hollywood heroes to world-famous musicians.

Maybe you’re looking for some new labels to check out, or perhaps you’re just curious about what brands you might not have realised have links to LA.
