IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME
So here’s the inevitable: It was time to break up with some things. Not one to rush into things blindly, we wanted to prepare ourselves. And the advice out there is all too clear: If there’s anything in your wardrobe you haven’t worn over the past 12 months, and felt totally confident in, it’s time to get rid of it.

So, was anything in this relationship worth salvaging? Tati Hani, Creative & Marketing Manager at Mimpikita advises, “You know, fashion goes through phases and ups and downs, but you can’t hold on to things for too long. Keep your ultimate favourites, those bespoke dresses that you made for special occasions, and basics, such as tailored pants, jeans, and shrugs. And I keep all my dresses. Try to sift through and throw out ‘replaceable’ items — T-shirts, old shoes, and damaged jewellery — which you can purchase should you need new ones.”
So here’s the difficult part: When you finally take the plunge, try not to let your emotions get the better of you or to associate memories with the garment. The moment you do, your hoarding will take over.
We figured, as with most things one dreads, that it was best to get in there, and get it over and done with. So we set aside an afternoon, and got to work, ending things with our ridiculously overflowing wardrobe.
