91: Strategic Wardrobe Planning for Women in Leadership

In this first episode back for 2026, I'm taking you through my annual wardrobe audit process but this isn't just about decluttering your closet. Here's what I know about leadership presence: your wardrobe has an expiration date. Not because of trends, but because of evolution. The clothes that worked when you were building credibility don't work when you're owning authority. So regular wardrobe audits aren't about shopping, they're about strategic alignment. In this episode, I share how I: → Conduct wardrobe reviews multiple times per year to ensure alignment with my leadership identity → Maintain what I have rather than constantly replacing → Create a boutique experience in my closet to reduce decision fatigue → Successfully sold 70% of selected pieces using two different methods I tested both online consignment (Airrobe) and physical rack rental (Venla), and I'm breaking down exactly what worked, what didn't, and how to approach reselling strategically if you're decluttering your own wardrobe. If you're feeling that disconnect, like your wardrobe worked a few years ago but doesn't quite reflect who you're becoming this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Regular wardrobe audits are essential for leadership alignment Conduct wardrobe reviews multiple times per year to ensure your closet reflects your current leadership identity, lifestyle, and brand direction, not who you were three years ago. 2. Maintenance over replacement The goal isn't to buy new things constantly. It's to maintain what you have and strategically remove what no longer serves you or aligns with where you're going. 3. Create a boutique experience to reduce decision fatigue Organize your wardrobe like a clean, curated store. When your closet feels like a boutique, getting dressed becomes effortless instead of exhausting. 4. Use a strategic dual reselling approach Combine online platforms (like Airrobe) for convenience with physical rack rentals (like Venla) for higher-value pieces to maximise your success rate. 5. Know your selling environment Research the store demographic and popular items before selecting pieces for rack rental. Understanding your buyer helps you choose what will actually sell. 6. Price strategically for ROI When rack rentals cost ~$280 AUD, focus on quality pieces that will help you break even quickly rather than filling the rack with volume-based items. 7. Leverage rotation opportunities When items sell from your rented rack, bring in backup pieces to maximise the rental period and keep fresh inventory available. 8. Approach it as an experiment. Test different methods to discover what works best for your situation. Wardrobe decluttering isn't one-size-fits-all.
