'As a stylist, this is the exact hack I use when I have "nothing to wear."'

If, like me, you got swept up in the Marie Kondo hype a few years back and decluttered your wardrobe to within an inch of its life, then you're going to love the new wave of decluttering that doesn't leave you with… nothing to wear.

It's called 'New Minimalism' and instead of stripping your wardrobe of all its character and personality, this new take on tidying is far less restrictive and makes it easy for you to curate a closet full of pieces you love and wear regularly.

I've been on a New Minimalism journey for a little over a year now, and it's helped me feel far more inspired to create new outfits from the clothes I already own.

So, if you are caught in the trap of trying to shop your way out of having nothing to wear, or getting dressed each day has become a real chore, then you're going to love New Minimalism.

Take a look at my video below where I outline how New Minimalism works and how it will not only save you time and money but also make getting dressed so much easier:
