Have you ever thought about the true cost of your clothes? Like that super cute pair of shoes that fit like you were meant to have them! Wait, are they on sale? Yes?? Amazing – they are mine!!
Let’s say you paid $30 for those shoes. Maybe they’re not every day shoes, more like, they go perfectly with a fancy dress you own.
Now, let’s say that you wore them once last year and twice this year. That means that each time you wore them, they cost you $10.00!
Interesting!!
Now, let’s say you paid $30 for a pair of shoes that you wear almost every day during the summer. If we assume summer is three months (approx 12 weeks), and you wear them about four times per week, that makes the cost about $0.63 each time you wear them!
Have you ever thought about your clothing that way?
As you start to think about the true cost of storing your clothes for special occasions or buying new clothes for your closet, think about how often you wear them and what you will get out of them!
Sure, you may still need some unique pieces from time to time.
As you declutter your closet, think about the true cost of your clothes! Also, think about the true cost as you are buying new ones! Ask yourself if you really will wear it enough to make it worth it, or ask yourself if you need something else for that money!
It’s always worth thinking about things from a different perspective! It’s not about guilting you into keeping all of your one off or random clothes – it’s more about thinking about the cost even before you buy it! That way, you know that whatever new items are entering your closet will serve a well earned purpose!

thinking of it that way is also a reminder to wear those more costly pieces more often to get the value out of them.
