Spring-cleaning your closet

/

Spring is upon us and it isnโ€™t just about exposing pale body parts, wearing floral and actually working on your beach body โ€” this is also the time to clear out the old and make way for the new.

Yes, Iโ€™m talking about spring-cleaning.

The biggest problem with being a shopaholic is that you dedicate precious time and funds to buy everything you โ€œneedโ€ for each season and subsequently keep it stuffed away in the back of your closet when itโ€™s no longer socially acceptable to wear. Personally, I try not to buy what I know I wonโ€™t wear โ€” which is also why I always end up owning multiples of certain items that I know I will wear and end up bored with my wardrobe. I digress.

Spring-cleaning is a great excuse to open up some space in your closet for the oncoming season, but I do have one piece of advice: Do not pack up all your cold weather gear (this is also directed to you, sir, who is wearing shorts when itโ€™s only 4 degrees outside).

Shifting weather means youโ€™re more likely to get sick. Thereโ€™s no way that you can enjoy the beautiful weather and show off your new look if youโ€™re too busy sniffling.

I have an either/or rule when it comes to spring fashion, which means only one section of my body is exposed. For example, if I choose to wear shorts, I wear long sleeves or a cardigan on top. I consider this to be common sense, but recognize that not everyone is constantly freezing like myself.

Hereโ€™s a little โ€œspring-perationโ€ using the high-low trend (or the โ€œmullet dressโ€ depending on what you prefer to call it). I think the obvious confusion surrounding this style is the perfect way to address the confusing weather.
