"I have ￡10k of unworn clothes in my wardrobe"

If you were to add up the items in your wardrobe, what would you guess the value as?
Spoiler: You're probably wrong.
In my experience, we vastly underestimate the cost of the clothing we've bought.
We'd rather burrow into the mountain of clothes and ignore our feelings, than confront how we got into this mess in the first place.
And that's because confronting how many clothes you actually have means confronting why you bought them.
Clothes aren't just clothes. They're the physical manifestation of how we feel about ourselves.
Some clothes reflect who we want to be, some clothes reflect old versions of ourselves. Some clothes we use as a stick to beat ourselves with. Others make us feel like we've lost something.
A recent client of mine added up her wardrobe, and it came to more than ￡10k.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with having ￡10,000 of clothes.
IF YOU'RE WEARING THEM.
But she was not.
All these lovely things just waiting to be picked... but every day she was choosing to go into the 'Drawer of Shame' and pick out tatty old tracksuit bottoms.
The problem with this is that she wasn't making the progress in her business she wanted.
She was playing small in her outfits... and this was mirrored in other aspects of her life.
Of course, there's more to sorting out a stifling wardrobe situation than 'here are some outfits' - this is why I am trained as a coach.
Sometimes you need a magical mix of coaching, mentoring and accountability to really bed in the change.

With some work IN the wardrobe, and some work IN the mind, guess what?...
That client is wearing all her lovely clothes.
She's more productive.
She's being visible.
She is showing up for the kind of business she wants.
She might still have ￡10k worth of clothes... but they're no longer unworn.
They are evidence of a life well lived.
How much is the value of the unworn clothes in your wardrobe?
How many items do you have that haven't been worn in a year?
If your answer is 'DON'T ASK' - but you know you're stuck in a rut and holding yourself from making the bold moves, maybe we should have a chat.
