I just moved to a new apartment and I am trying to get rid of clothes. I would like to work towards a capsule wardrobe. The problem seems to revolve around my "work" clothes. I work at a clothing retail store and I have to wear/model the clothes I'm selling and styling (we work on a one-on-one basis with customers) we are allowed to wear "true vintage" and things that demonstrate self-expression but are highly encouraged to wear pieces of the collection. (We get new collections every month). A lot of the clothes are "statement" pieces, skirts, dresses, and not a lot of basics. It's also kind of silly because I feel like my personal style is the opposite of my workplace. I like more neutrals, grayscale, "low femme" etc.
I've tried the Marie Kondo "spark joy" test and many items in my closet don't spark joy but a lot of the pieces are work clothes.
Does anyone else work in retail and have any advice for trying to shrink your wardrobe? Also if there's another sub that I'm missing that might be helpful let me know thanks!
