Enhance your clothes – Love your look!

Mia Freedman

Mia Freedman, journalist and author of the Mamamia lifestyle/culture/current affairs blog for modern women shares her top wardrobe secret.

“Sometimes, I like to ‘go shopping’ in my wardrobe. I do this several times a year and I never fail to unearth some excellent bargains. Apparently, we all wear 10 per cent of our wardrobe 90 per cent of the time.

A stylist friend once told me this, and it describes me perfectly. I always have a dozen or so items on high rotation which means there’s a whole lot of unworn treasure languishing on hangers and in drawers.

The best part is that I can fossick through the forgotten 90 per cent every time I start feeling bored with my look (which is often) and happily unearth some old favourites. Even the odd ‘new’ item that still has a swing tag. A bit of a wash or a quick alteration and hey presto, new clothes.No credit card or shopping guilt required.”
