Edit, Edit, Edit!!
Friday, September 23, 2011 at 9:48PM The other day I came upon this speech, delivered by an overly enthusiastic man with a funny accent. I don’t share all of his beliefs, and just to be clear, he is a tad too patriotic for my taste. And yet…he inspired me. Here is my speech:

Everyday Glamour Chicks, (E.G.C.’s), stand tall. E.G.C.’s are happy and confident women. They are comfortable in their own skin and refuse to compromise on their individual quirks. E.G.C.’s have it all together. They have a pep in their step and some color in their cheeks. Oh yeah, and they look good too.
How do they look so good? By editing their wardrobes….every 6 months.
If you want to look glamorous everyday: Edit your wardrobe.
If you want to learn how to spend your money wisely on only the most flattering garments: Edit your wardrobe.
If you want to finally figure out what your own unique personal style is: Edit your wardrobe.
E.G.C.’s edit their wardrobes…every 6 months.

I hear too much chatter about all the cute Fall fashions. Fashionistas can talk a good game. What we need more of today are E.G.C.’s with discriminating taste and ruthless discernment. E.G.C.’s edit their wardrobes. How often? Every 6 months.
“Kate, you can count on me!”
Wonderful! Now go edit your wardrobe!
“Kate, I like all the E.G.C. style tips here!”
Thanks! I hope you edit your wardrobe!
“Kate, I’m totally sold on this ‘Less is More/Quality over Quantity’ idea!”
Super! Edit your wardrobe.
“But, Kate, quality is expensive.”
Not if you have less and know exactly what to buy. Edit your wardrobe!
“But Kate, can't you just go shopping with me?”
Oh yes, I would love to! But first you have to edit your wardrobe. (And I can help you with that too.)
“Kate, I am the Senior Vice President, General Merchandise Manager for Glamour Chic Department Stores International, can I quit editing my wardrobe?”
Nope.
“Kate, I don’t have the time to edit my wardrobe.”
Then you won’t be glamorous everyday.
“Kate, you don’t understand, see, Barneys is having a 70% shoe sale right now!”
You have to edit your wardrobe first before you can go.
“But, Kate, they have PRADA!!!!”
I don’t care. Edit your wardrobe first.

What is the primary difference between E.G.C.’s and the rest of the world? They edit their wardrobes…every 6 months.

Kate, I downloaded the WEW again, & printed it out this time, since I will be doing my edit THIS WEEK! BTW, I just noticed the quotes at the bottoms of each section, I love it, how fun! I am looking forward to this & will let you know how it goes.
Lee, that is wonderful!! I'm glad you like the format. Can't wait to hear all about it. :)
Kate, if I am picking up what you are putting down, I should go edit my wardrobe now... right?
;-)
Must figure out the RSS feed for your site now, I like receiving notification the very minute that you post new words, not days later, bah humbug!
Kellina, so glad you picked up on that. ;) Edit away!
(Hope the RSS is working out for you.) xo
Oh Lord! So Chad buys a massive exercise gym and decides to rip apart our closet to make it into a home gym. He repositions my clothes rack, which is about 12 feet long to his 3 feet. I have nothing to do with this business and tell him to just get my clothes up and tell me when it's over. He reports back to me...holy crap Cupcakers you've got stuff in there I've never seen you wear (I hope he hasn't seen price tags - cuz that's in there too - never worn 4 years old still has a tag on it - cringe). "DO NOT...i repeat...DO NOT JUDGE MY WARDROBE!" 12 feet of squished hangers. I don't even know what crap is in there. I'm just affraid of getting rid of something and regretting it later. What if it comes back in style? I'm an EGC in training. Get me that manual!!!
Cupcake, Cupcake, WE CAN ALL RELATE!!!! I saw that you wisely went for my free Wardrobe Edit Workbook. You can do this!
Tip: Keep only what looks amazing ON YOU, not on someone else, but YOU. Seems logical, but sometimes we have fantasies about how our clothes are supposed to look, not about how they actually look. If you have an amazing piece that you love but is not in style, then ARCHIVE it. Revisit the piece later. This is how you cycle your wardrobe....Oh thanks, just came up with a new post idea...he he!
“But, Kate, they have PRADA!!!!”
I ADORE YOU.
And I do NOT have time to edit my wardrobe. I think I will just burn it entirely. Is that ok??
Ha, ha, Lisi Lisi!!
Quick, you go get the kerosene....I'll go get a match!
NO! It is not ok!!!!
And, I adore YOU! :D
Kate Kate
I adore your blog, and particularly this post! It is finally clear to me now that I must edit my wardrobe. Every 6 months, in fact. I'd like to download your workbook, but do I do it by filling out the "Contact me"-box? There doesn't seem to be anything else that is clickable there, or anywhere else to fill in name and e-mail. Unless I've ignored something?
Shall I call you "Crocodile Skin"? How about C.S.? :)
C.S., not to worry. It is very easy to get your hands on the Wardrobe Edit Workbook. Yes, fill out the "Contact Me" fields on the right hand side bar of this blog. Once entered, click send, and up pops a link, right on this blog. I will not be emailing the WEW to you, it will be right here. A message will appear: "Attention! To recieve, click on this link in red..." Click on the red link, Wardrobe Edit Workbook, and it will magically appear for you to print out.
Thank you for your kind words! I am happy to hear that you are ready to edit your wardrobe. You will be glad you did!
