Seasonal Wardrobe Changeover Checklist

The seasonal changeover ritual takes about two hours, twice a year: bring out the clothes for the season ahead, evaluate each piece with the three guiding questions (do you wear it regularly? does it make you feel good? does it work with what you own?), put away the clean clothes from the season that's ending, and update your list of what's missing. Print this checklist and keep it in a drawer.
