If you read my lifestyle posts you will more than likely be aware of the fact that I started college this year. Along with the excitement of finishing my GCSE'S I realised that the fact that I wear about 5% of my wardrobe and that I'm not going to have the safety net of my uniform it was time I cleared out my wardrobe. After watching Vivianna does makeup's latest wardrobe related video I decided that it was time I got my bum in gear and did it.
I started off by having a massive clear out which just made me realise how many of my clothes didn't actually fit me anymore. I was pretty harsh and anything I've not worn in the past couple of months went in a big pile for charity. I also cleared out my shoes while I was at it throwing away any that were uncomfortable or I hadn't worn in the past couple of months.
I then went through everything that was left and I made a list of things I felt my wardrobe was missing. Most of it was pretty basic like jeans and a pair of flat boots but I also thought about looks that I've seen floating around the blogosphere that I loved (the white shirt trend and dungarees)
Obviously I haven't bought everything off my list yet. I actually really enjoyed this process and I would seriously suggest that if you fancy a wardrobe clear out you do it in this way as it stops you buying things that you will never wear to replace the things you've just taken out.

I love clearing out my wardrobe! I usually do this twice a year when the seasons change because my actual wardrobe is so tiny that I can only fit in summer or winter clothes. It feels just great to get rid of things you don´t like anymore.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the shopping list! I have one myself for this season and I can´t seem to get my hands on some items.

I can't quite believe how hard it is to get a nice white shirt! xx
DeleteI really want to do this next year (I just have too many things to do this month and I want to clean it properly once I start :D). I'm currently building a list of clothes that I want to have in my wardrobe and I already know that there's so many things I don't have and so many things I don't need or can only use with other certain pieces...
ReplyDeleteFor example I've been looking for a black dress that I can wear anywhere, parties and at home if I want but I just can't seem to find one anywhere... The struggle... :D
