Since that day Pippa has kept up to par with her fashion je ne sais quoi and is making sure she won’t soon be forgotten. Pippa Middleton, I’ve got my eye on you. And no, not just your heinie.

Just for giggles

So here are some tips to slimming down your wardrobe and chucking those unwanted clothes in a bag to send off to friends or charity shops:

1. Try on EVERYTHING

Sounds tedious, because it IS tedious, but it must be done. Our bodies, style and trends are constantly changing, and what looked fabulous five years ago may not look so hot now. Make sure your clothes fit right, you like how it looks on you and you feel comfortable. If you aren’t comfortable looking in the mirror at home you aren’t going to feel good in public wearing it, so toss it. And I don’t want to hear the classic excuse: “But what if it comes back in style?” Keep in mind you will shop for the rest of your life, so unless it is a classic item, take your chances and if  it comes back in ten years later, buy it again- in a better color.

2. Don’t do it Alone!

When deciding what to keep, ask a friend to help you out. Women are irrational beings and we need friends to keep us in order and remind us how frumpy that old dress is. A second opinion is a must and tell them to be honest!

3. Make a Profit

Just because your clothes no longer suit you doesn’t mean it’s trash. If you think your clothes are still valuable then why not try selling them on ebay? Not ebay experienced? Ask a friend or look for guidance online. But if you think your clothes are on their last leg then donate to a local charity shop for someone else to enjoy.

4. The Keepers

As someone who adores fashion, I understand that some clothes are akin to old friends- they give you comfort, remind you of happier (maybe skinnier) times, or represent a significant time in your life. These are what I call keepers and will allow you to keep. These are items such as graduation or wedding dresses, a favorite black dress you’ve had for years, or the best pair of shoes you’ve ever owned, nevermind the soles are falling off. If you don’t wear these items often, tuck them away in a box or suitcase and keep them safely under your bed. The idea is to clear your closest to items you wear frequently, so put those puppies somewhere safe where you can easily find them.

5. Make your wardrobe seasonal

This is a classic rule, but hopefully you are all keeping up. Make more room in your closet by rotating your autumn/winter and summer/spring clothes. It makes getting dressed in the morning much easier and clears space! This familiar rule is important!

6. Optional: Fill ‘er up!

Feel better? If you look into your closet and feel empty inside, then it’s time to go shopping for January sales. Enjoy the space.

Anyways, as always Kate did not fail to impress with her wardrobe choices. Kate wore the same jeans (Jbrand dark denim skinnys) and even recycled her engagement photo dress! Her decision to be more frugal and ecofriendly with her wardrobe in comparison to past princesses is very refreshing. I love her bold coloured dresses and detailed accessories, including her dainty clutches! She was born to be royalty

Here are a few of my favorite looks she donned whilst in North America!
