Har du skapet fullt av klær, men ingenting å ha på deg?

Denne boka guider deg igjennom å planlegge din egen drømmegarderobe, slik at den ikke lenger er et museum over alle dine livsfaser, men heller en liten klesbutikk du vil handle i hver dag, uten at det koster lommebok og miljø. De mest bærekraftige klærne er jo de du har i skapet.

Rekkefølgen i boka legger opp til at du først må rydde i det du allerede har og deretter finne ut hva du trenger.

I tillegg skal du jobbe med eget selvbilde og analysere kroppen din og hvilke utfordringer den møter i garderoben. Det er klærne som skal passe til deg og kroppen din og ikke motsatt.

Lær om materialer, lag ditt eget fargekart og rendyrk din stil. Boka inneholder også tips til vedlikehold og oppbevaring av klærne du vil beholde.

Bli med inn i skapet ditt og sett sammen din unike garderobe!
