Being a fashion professional has a way of changing the way that you think, and this isn’t any less true for Remi Landau. In this blog, she shares what spring cleaning your closet can teach you about your life.

Many people have a certain quality to their closets at home, and they might find that there’s a unique theme that its contents follow in the way they are arranged. Of course, in one door, that’s where one keeps the essential pieces reserved for their daily wardrobe. Perhaps, this door is what opened the most because most are sure to find what they like to wear comfortably without spending too much time deciding their outfit. These are the clothes use for mundane and uneventful moments, shares Remi Landau.

The life lesson, however, comes to attention most especially when doing spring cleaning. This gives one a reason to open a seldom-used door, keeping the more sentimental pieces. This is where you’ll find those articles of clothing that may seem useless to you, but just you can’t let go of anyway.

Consider the neat dress you’ve been keeping for so many years, which is a few sizes smaller than where you’re at. It doesn’t take too much time before you long for those times when you used to have a more flattering frame.

And yet there’s also that other piece which is a size or two bigger than what you’re wearing today, which you somehow keep because you fear the possibility of going back to where you once were, a possibility that you’d like to prepare for just the same.

Then you realize that you’re in your 50s, and what really matters is that you wear something that allows you to be the happiest version of yourself. So the next time you go spring cleaning, you know that you need to clean out the closet in your mind, too.
