This has inspired me to have a proper, serious look at my wardrobe. I keep finding myself standing in my bedroom thinking that I have nothing to wear, when what I mean is that nothing feels right or makes me feel good. I have SO many clothes, but they're obviously not serving me anymore. Time to be brutal I think...
This season I’ve been doing project 333 (33 items, including shoes, accessories etc for 3 months) and it’s been a game changer. No shopping, I love all 33 items I’ve chosen and my wardrobe looks so neat and tidy. Ok, pretty much everything is black but getting dressed is a breeze and I love the lack of thought involved. Next season will be harder with layers/outerwear etc but currently I feel triumphant!
This is amazing! I did that in 2018 as part of #26habits on the podcast and I absolutely adored it. It felt terrifying only having 33 items but it’s such a good way to figure out what you really need/want. I just refilled my wardrobe afterwards with lots of the same thing, which is why I know spend a little more a great quality t-shirt rather than buying 10 cheapy ones.
So relate to this, and the longing to crush the capsule wardrobe dream (and yes, seasonal black jumper woes, inevitable bobbling..). What's honestly stood the test of time for me are the £££ pieces from moons ago - and many I wish I'd still got but ruined by not caring for them properly. 😬 Trying harder now!). Not done Vinted yet, but know so many who do and love!!! I have an account (and even been looking at 👓 frames, keep eying a Chloe pair with tags 🫣). Love this. XXX
I actually don’t think a capsule wardrobe is for me but leaning down has been incredible. You’re so right! Investment pieces are the way forward and I’ve also started altering things (late to the party much?) I love Zara jeans and the pure cotton ones are great quality and if I spend on them to get them altered, they are perfect.
