![]() ![]() This is a particularly helpful column, since it gives the opportunity to do a little self-reflecting, and see if your motivations to buy the thing are coming from a healthy and compassionate place vs an impulsive one. I’ve added A REASON category to the spreadsheet. And since I’m really trying to develop a better relationship with stuff, I also ask and write down WHY I want to buy something. I also added “nice to know”’s like if the item was purchased new, or secondhand (or gifted). I like to organize by brand, and enter in the item details like COLOR, SIZE & COST (enter a rough estimate if you can’t remember - knowing how much you paid for an item is critical in determining the COST-PER-WEAR of your item, and if you’re getting your money’s worth!) I’ve uploaded my spreadsheet to Google Drive, so I can access it anytime, anywhere. Determining CPW and tracking it also really just helps figure out what it is you’re actually wearing, and what it is you’re not.Ĭost-per-wear (cpw) = total $ cost of item / number of times wornīelow is an example of what the spreadsheet looks like with some simple instructions on how to use it and track your wears.Įach row is divided into a different clothing category like T-shirts, Jeans, Blouses, Trousers, Athletic wear and more (you can broaden these or make them more specific for you, as needed). But if it was expensive and the piece is just sitting there in your closet, then you might not be getting such a great deal. If an item was expensive but you wear it all the time, you’re getting great value for your money. After all, your style is what you wear most often.Ĭost-per-wear is a great metric to get a sense if you REALLY got your money’s worth. It’s a great tool to figure out what wardrobe items you love, which ones you thought you wore a lot but didn’t, and it can really help you better define your personal style. I’m tracking each piece on a monthly basis, and with this, I can really see the cost-per-wear (if you calculate the cost) of the time, or at the every least, how much you’re wearing something vs. TIP: To stay consistent with this, I’ve made it a habit to open up my spreadsheet everyday after lunch, and I just add another tally to when I’ve worn an item. I created a downloadable excel spreadsheet to TRACK EVERY TIME YOU WEAR AN ITEM in your closet. To get a better sense of my “maybe” pile AND of my favourite items…and because I’m a nerd, I decided to TRACK IT. This ultimately leads me to ending up with a big pile of “Maybe” items that I THINK I’m wearing, but I’m not actually sure. During the declutters, and when I’m feeling a little less ruthless, I often find myself grapping with holding onto things. If you guys have been following me on Instagram and Youtube Channel, then you know that I’ve been actively trying to whittle down my wardrobe to only my favourite items….the pieces that I reach for all the time, that I feel my best in.Īfter all the closet delcutters on my minimalist journey, I admit I still have a lot of clothes. ![]()
