Wardrobe renovation

Today I was walking around the shopping mall, searching for the perfect birthday presents for my mom and for my brother. I could not stop myself and I had to check a few stores.....

Then I figured it out: I have many many many clothes but I do not like half of it. Either I got bored of them or I just bought them in that period of my life when I could not care less and bought comfy but “nothing special” clothes. Comfort is a really important thing indeed, however, I think it is also essential that you can use one piece for various outfits. And that is the biggest disadvantage of my wardrobe.

For me it is also hard to keep track of the clothes as I live in thee places at once. Have some of my stuff at home, half of it in my flat-since I'm studying in a different city- and some of it at my boyfriend's.

So I decided. I'll make a list of the basic and essential clothing items which I need and I'll check the market and see if I like it and make a plan: I will buy it when I have the money for it, as it is important to treat yourself with new stuff but it is also important to have money for everything else that you need.

In my opinion it is a big big mistake that we often make: want to buy everything at once, then new items come out which you like better and bumm, you have a wardrobe full of unworn clothes.

So let's see.

I think a wardrobe needs:

- 3 jumpers (in different colors, 1 of them must be plain)

- 3 long sleeved t-shirts – as the weather can be between warm and cold

- 2 cardigans- again, one plain

- a skirt which you can wear with t-shirts and pullovers, too

- 2 jeans

- 3 shirts/blouses – these can be colorful or plain, you can wear them under the jumpers or they go well with almost everything.

- a blazer – black is always a good choice

- 2 dresses – which are amazing when you have no idea what to wear

- that little black/other color dress- which is just perfect when you're going out

so now, you just have to go and check your closet. There are some amazing sales out there right now, it is a good time to rethink and renew your autumn/winter/spring wardrobe

have a lovely day!

Love,
