The way I declutter a wardrobe with a client is The Wardrobe Edit. It begins with a style consultation and time spent defining your style. Then, over three hours, we explore your wardrobe together, to understand why you have nothing to wear. Afterwards, you receive a digital Look Book created from your session outfits, and a shopping list for your wardrobe gaps.
What the edit is for
The Wardrobe Edit is what sets up a capsule wardrobe. We work out what suits you, edit what you already own, and finish with a shopping list for the gaps, so you’re left with a capsule wardrobe of pieces that all work together. The result is a wardrobe that is a source of inspiration and empowerment.
The Wardrobe Edit, step by step
- Style consultation. Where we start, including the colours that genuinely work for you.
- Defining your style.
- The three-hour wardrobe edit. We explore your wardrobe together to understand why you have nothing to wear.
- Your digital Look Book. A digital collection of the outfits we create during your session, yours to keep and return to.
- A shopping list for your wardrobe gaps.
The Wardrobe Edit is $450, in person across the Barossa, Gawler and Adelaide, or online wherever you are.
Unworn clothes are common
Green Industries SA notes that Australians are the world’s biggest consumers of fashion, buying an average of 53 items of clothing per person each year, and that a significant portion of them end up unworn or underused.
Where your unwanted clothes can go in SA
Set your clothes free, Saturday 31 October 2026. Green Industries SA is running a textile collection on 31 October from 9 am to 3 pm at 14 drop-off points across South Australia. In the valley, the drop-off is at The Barossa Council offices, 43–51 Tanunda Road, Nuriootpa, with Australian Red Cross as the charity partner.
- Accepted: all clothing, footwear, handbags and household linens, in any condition, as long as they have been washed.
- Not accepted: belts, underwear, bras with underwire, cloth nappies, doonas and pillows, soft toys and mattresses.
- Where it goes: high-quality items are sorted and passed to the charity partners for resale, and items not good enough for resale are recycled. Green Industries SA says this eases the burden on charity stores that can be overwhelmed with poor-quality donations they can’t re-sell.
Check the Green Industries SA event page before you go, in case details change.
After the edit
When you’re ready to fill the gaps, The Personal Shop is designed for those who have already edited their wardrobe and are ready to add pieces. If you’re starting fresh, The Complete Package ($895) includes both, plus shopping research and a one-hour wardrobe integration. My notes on building a capsule wardrobe and a summer capsule wardrobe for South Australia are a good next read.
