What to Keep, Tailor, Donate, or Replace

A practical way to look at your closet without making every piece an emotional decision.

Closet edit with garments organized for review
A useful closet is edited around the life you actually live.

01 / Closet

Keep what earns its place

Keep pieces that fit, feel good, work with other things, and support the way you actually live. A piece does not need to be exciting to be useful.

02 / Closet

Tailor what is close

Some pieces are worth saving with a hem, waist adjustment, or better sleeve length. Others are not worth the time or cost. The trick is knowing the difference.

03 / Closet

Replace with intention

A missing-pieces list should come after the edit, not before. That is how you avoid buying another version of the same problem.
