IN previous article I told him how to analyze your wardrobe and see what we have. The options may be two:

• Enough things for all life situations. Fine! You have a balanced wardrobe.
• Many things, but often still have nothing to wear. Or things still lacking. And maybe stuff and not much and not too little, but you are dissatisfied with and encounter a problem when going somewhere. And this imbalance.

In the latter case it is necessary to optimize and balance the contents of your closet. For this method you can use, which I called "Lego clothes." This constructor parts from different sets fit together, one can collect many forms. With wardrobe the same story. It does not take a lot of things - you need to give them the opportunity to build different images.

While studying at the Moscow State Institute of Culture as a "image making", I discovered a new mathematical principle: the eight things give about 30 sets of clothing. Do not believe it? See how it works.

For example, take the most simple embodiments, office: blouses, a turtleneck, a jacket, skirt, trousers and jeans (top must be greater than the bottom). And the composition of these kits, alternating up and down.

The math is simple:

3 bottom top × 4 = 12 sets

If each of these kits to add a jacket, there will be 24 options. And if for free style t-shirts instead of blouses to take, instead of the jacket - shirt that can be worn together or one with t-shirts, it has already received 27 sets.

Let's see how it looks in practice.

Take the eight basic things.

We collect kits.

At first glance, it turns out very boring, but if skillfully alternate between images, then no problems. In the picture below - 20 different sets of eight things, and they are not repeated in 20 days.

To a wardrobe with this approach was not boring, necessary accessories. This option is for women are much more diverse than the "style of Steve Jobs."

Eight things - this is only basis from which to push off, working through their wardrobe. There may be more. It all depends on lifestyle, desires and wallet capabilities. Even with a large wardrobe, a woman usually wears the most favorite, most comfortable things, but they are few. According to Pareto principle - 20%, and this is a plus or minus 8-10 are the same things that I am talking about.

Not necessarily to buy eight of things for every area of ​​life. Better look, what clothes are suitable for different situations. In my example, in jeans from a working wardrobe, you can go in the evening to a club, only replace the top.

And remember: the most updated and bought the top rather than the bottom, if it's not a dress.

The method of "Lego-wardrobe" is very effective, it gives an understanding of the mechanism of working with things. Try it right now: create sets of your existing clothes and try them. Good luck to you and interesting images!
