3 Benefits of Inventory Your Wardrobe
“Duh, no more clothes!” Have you ever made this complaint when you opened a cupboard? When in fact, there are piles of clothes right in front of your eyes. This can happen because the arrangement of your clothes in the wardrobe is not very systematic, making it difficult for you to find the clothes you want to wear.
So far, how do you organize your wardrobe? Some people impose rules for the arrangement of clothes in the wardrobe based on the intended use. For example, house clothes, work clothes, clothes hang out, and tracksuits. Usually, after that, clothes are sorted again based on color.
However, have you ever tried to make an inventory of the contents of your closet? Lauren Bowling, blogger who often writes about financial issues and writers The Millennial Homeowner: A Guide to Successfully Navigating Your First Home Purchase, put forward the importance of taking inventory of your wardrobe.
The benefit of making an inventory of your wardrobe is not only easy to find the clothes to wear, but it also has to do with financial problems. Following are the financial benefits of having an inventory of your wardrobe:
1. No More “There Are No Clothes!”
If you trigger the sentence, “there are no clothes!”, You usually end up shopping for new clothes. By having an inventory of clothes, you will already know which list of clothes you can wear. So, this will allow you to ensure that you no longer need to buy new clothes that you already have.
2. No. Overbudget
By creating an inventory of what is in your wardrobe, you will be able to find out which clothes need changing. For example, a white shirt with a yellowish stain, pants that are getting stretchy, a torn shirt, and so on. From here, you can determine the number of clothes to change.
Well, you can then divide your clothing budget into that amount. Make sure you buy according to the amount that is already on your list. This will reduce the likelihood that you will over budget shopping for clothes.
3. Make bartering easier
Bartering here is not about exchanging your clothes directly for other clothes, but rather cashing them in first to spend on new clothes. Now, by making an inventory, you will know which cabinets you rarely or almost never use.
You can resell it as an item preloved. That way, you will get money that can be used as capital to shop for new clothes. This method of course helps you save money.
So, are you interested in the financial benefits of inventorying your wardrobe? You can start trying it. You need to keep a record of 3 allocations. You can take notes in a book. If you want to be more modern and detailed, you can use a photo collage on your smartphone or use features like Trello or the Google Photo application.
Label it according to category. For example, clothes used, clothes that need to be changed, and clothes that are thrown away. The clothes to wear contains a list that you can wear every day. If there is a problem with the clothes, you can move them to the list of clothes that need to be changed. The clothes that need to be changed are what should be counted as a divider for your clothing budget. Or, you can also move it to your list of clothes to throw away. Throwing clothes is here that you can sell and use the funds to buy new clothes.
Good luck.
