Wardrobe cleanse

According to Harper’s Bazaar, in order to detox your wardrobe, you need to start off by splitting up your wardrobe by the season. Clear out the previous season so you can focus on what you’ll be wearing until the next plunging temperatures.

However, light winter essentials such as cardigans can be roped into your blissful closet. With wardrobe staples, there’s no need to break the bank as they are timeless and eternally stylish.

This can apply to the recent fashion trend of loafers. Loafers have crept into the women’s wardrobe and the classic shoe is a staple throughout the four seasons.

Do not rule out sweaters or light jackets as essential items on chilly days. You can also wear an open-weave sweater over a cute spring dress.
