Now we’re going to complete this 5-part adventure. How to have a wardrobe that works for every occasion. You now have three piles of clothes from Step 1 of weeding out your wardrobe.

The next step is to find it.
Hidden treasure – First of all, check your own extensive wardrobe and see whether you haven’t already got something appropriate for this special event. If you have already sorted out the contents of your wardrobe, then you’ll already know exactly what you’ve got in there. If not, this could be the perfect opportunity to take the whole thing apart and discover some forgotten hidden treasure.
