The Dress Dilemma: Keep, Toss, or Treasure?

We can easily lose track of our wardrobe and its contents, and with the non-stop flow of new trends and new avenues for buying clothes there’s a tendency to have an overflow of pieces. 

Now that we’re approaching the end of the year, many are probably at the reset wardrobe mode and wondering how to decide which dresses to keep, to toss, and to treasure?

Which to keep

KEEP dresses that work for all seasons. These dresses are usually the ones with a simple silhouette and neutral colors that can be dressed up and down and easily match any layers you may want to add.

Like Bauble’s Mariposa Dress with an elegant and non selective design.

Make sure to KEEP dresses for special occasions. It’s never easy to look for these kinds of dresses at the last minute. So it’s always safe to have 1 or 2 special occasion dresses on-hand.

A custom made piece like this Fatima Arabesque Ball Gown by Bauble Buy is a sure KEEP!

Try to KEEP dresses with styles and designs that you know fit and complement your body well. Having those kinds of signature styles keeps you looking confident and allows you to look elevated without the fuss and stress.

Wrap dresses are usually a style that works with any and every body, so make sure to have something like Bauble’s Avery's Shirt Dress.

Which to toss

First dresses to TOSS are the old ones that you haven’t worn for a long time (except the special occasion ones). These clothes are taking up space without being useful or beneficial anymore.

TOSS the dresses that don’t fit well. We all probably have dresses in a size that we don’t wear anymore. Look into the dresses you have, in case there are any duplicates or too similar styles, TOSS the one that isn’t in its best quality anymore.

Which to treasure

Now we all know that our wardrobe can be our holy grail and feel like a collection we’re building and now that we’re in the process of resetting our wardrobe it’s always good to take extra care of our well-loved pieces. 

TREASURE your favorite dresses by allocating a space in your closet that’s dust and moisture free to keep them fresh and crisp.

Knowing how to mix and match your dresses with your favorite accessories as you go through the seasons is another way of TREASURING your dresses. 

Keep special occasion dresses in covered or protected laundry bags so it doesn’t get snagged or unintentionally ruined as you go through your other pieces.

Final Thoughts

As you go through your wardrobe and reset your closet, make sure to think ahead and figure out what you need and what you don't. Anticipate but don't overthink it. It's always good to reset your closet to make room for new pieces!
