For me, that included doing a vision board, which I know it seems like a lot of work, but understand you are going to need to put in the work to make this last and make this worth your while.” “I think I had just gotten to the point where I was just so sick of where these clothes had gotten me to, so I didn’t really have a positive association with the clothing anymore.” “It’s okay to wear something more than once. I think that, especially here in the states, it’s such a like ‘oh my gosh, she wore that to another party.’ I think that’s totally fine and I am not ashamed to be a repeat offender when it comes to my wardrobe.” “I try to base my shopping more based on ‘is it consciously made, is it socially responsible?’ and I think that might be something , you know if you are having a hard time not shopping, looking into that might help you look at it in a different way.” “The goal is to leave them with a strategic wardrobe, more confidence, and so that they are really clear on their style too.” [Connect with Megan: Twitter (@MeganJedlinski), Instagram (@meganjedlinski) Facebook (MeganJedlinski), Website: meganjedlinski.com &meganjedlinski ] RESOURCES: Marie Kondo- The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing
