I was clearing out my wardrobe the other day and found a few clothes lying in one corner, some of which i don't even remember buying, or even if i did, i hadn't worn them since ages and some were just plain ancient. They were just unnecessarily taking up space in my closet and had to be cleared out. De-cluttering your wardrobe has to one of the most tiring tasks. What to keep? What needs to go? Does this fit me anymore? Is this in? Does this colour look good on me? WHEN DID I BUY THIS? Gosh! Confusion and more confusion. This problem is something which is very commonly faced by everyone. An organized and clutter-free closet makes things very easy! It helps you to choose your outfits more conveniently and helps you to ditch saying "I have nothing to wear!" while standing in front of a closet full of clothes. Here's a list of items that you probably have lying somewhere in your closet and you need to bid goodbye to and deport them to Trashland! You might as well use it as a checklist of sorts to clear out unwanted and definitely outdated items from your wardrobe!

Read on to find out how to re-create this gorgeous trend with affordable but equally trendy pieces and make it your own:

Trend Alert: High Top Sneakers

Look what finally arrived! My very own Michael Kors High Top sneakers! This trend has been a rage ever since Isabel Marant first came out with them in spring last year. She has re-invented and spiced up the classic flat sneaker and how! Since then, many other fashion brands like Marc Jacobs, Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Lanvin, Michael Kors, Chloe and Ash to name a few, have come up with their own version of a high top sneaker. Sneakers have always been known for "comfort over fashion" but not anymore! These high top sneakers are as comfortable as they're trendy. Pair them with your favorite pair of jeans or shorts and elevate your outfit to several notches! 

So go grab a pair of your very own wedge sneakers which are available in affordable prices at your favorite high street stores like Zara, Mango, Topshop, River Island, Steve Madden. Target too has come up with Isabel Marant imitations.
