I'm much better now at getting rid of clothes because I've realised that it's far better to have fewer clothes that actually suit me than lots of clothes that don't fit/suit.

It makes it so much easier to get dressed in the morning and my head feels clearer. In doing a clean out, I usually also find stuff I haven't worn in ages but actually DOES fit/suit me that I've forgotten about.

If I'm wavering on an item that is really nice but just doesn't suit me/fit, I just tell myself that someone else would make much better use of it than me and give it to charity. I give myself a pat on the back for being so selfless

I think the Trinny/Susannah advice is great.

My friend recently used a stylist and she's been absolutely delighted. It cost her $300 but she thought it was well worth it. You could easily waste $300 on some bad clothes choices. For that she got a consultation and half-day of shopping and she gets a report written up too.
