Spring is finally here, and with the (hopefully) warmer weather comes a change in wardrobe. However, as you stare into the deep, dark abyss that has become your closet (or at the giant pile of laundry sitting on that chair in the corner of your room), you may find yourself feeling that your style needs an overhaul.

So, rather than put on that same old oversized sweatshirt and pair of leggings that you’ve been wearing almost every day to class these past couple of months (no judgment here, we’ve all done it!), why not try something a little different?

Step #1: Think about what you want from your wardrobe

The first and most important step to overhauling your wardrobe is to think about what you want your wardrobe to be doing for you at this point in your life as a college student. For example, do you need clothes that are good for wearing to class? What about job/internship outfits? Do you have lots of special events or parties to go to? If so, do you have appropriate clothing for these occasions?

Take stock of what you currently have, give away or donate what you no longer need, and make notes of any gaps in your wardrobe. Then, the next time you go shopping, you’ll know exactly what to buy, and won’t make the mistake of, say, buying yourself yet another gray sweater, even though you have enough that you could literally wear a different one every day for a week. (Not that I would know anything about that *cough*.)
