Cluster Planning
- As an image management consultant, I empower and enable my clients to achieve their personal and professional goals by applying image management strategies in everyday life.
- Image management is the ongoing process of evaluating and controlling the impact of your appearance on yourself and others. It is about creating an authentic, appropriate, attractive and affordable personal/professional image which increases your confidence, capability, credibility and productivity. One strategy that can help to simplify your life and help you reach your goals is learning how to cluster your clothes. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a ton of clothes to have a wonderful wardrobe.
- A “cluster” is a small group of coordinated clothing and accessories that are easy to mix and match, and provide individuality, versatility and economy. Learning to create clothing clusters can seriously expand your wardrobe. It all starts with 5 to 8 easy pieces of clothing that, when combined, turn into 25 to 72 outfits.
- Start with pieces of clothing you currently have in your closet. Time to evaluate what you have in your wardrobe and how you can use what you have before you create a shopping list.As you create your clothing clusters, you will be able to assess gaps you have in your wardrobe. At that stage, start to create a shopping list of the pieces of clothing missing from your wardrobe that you can purchase over time to close those gaps. Your shopping list will be informed and help you to focus on what you truly need to meet your personal and professional image goals.
