Oh yes then count me in. I've halved my summer wardrobe in the last 6 weeks which has helped

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/06/2021 10:04

@Sooverthemill want to come and do mine?!

Shannith · 25/06/2021 10:32

@obliettebravo that's a great idea. I am I delegate. Red and keep putting it off. I e already half inched most of DD's wardrobe- to her disgust

Shannith · 25/06/2021 10:35

Today -

Filthy rain jacket - Lucy and Yak
Jodhpurs- Dublin

We're currently waiting for a PCR test to come back for DS who has a cough, hopefully we'll get the result soon, I hate the waiting, not knowing when it will arrive.

So sorry to hear the appointment didn't go well @Sooverthemill

@OublietteBravo I had a big wardrobe sort out last weekend. I've been reading blogs and watching videos by wardrobe minimalists. Not something I'm aspiring to be, but an approach I found interesting was thinking about how many of an item you need (or want) and then only keeping your favourite ones in your wardrobe, as those are the ones you'll always reach for and wear. So if you need/want 5 t-shirts, choose your favourite 5 and keep those. Usually when I sort through my wardrobe I can find a reason to keep almost everything, this helped me shift my mindset a bit to let more things go. So now I've got a bag of clothes I'll put away for 6 months and then get them out and decide what to keep and what to donate, and I do feel a bit lighter for it and it's easier to see what I have in my wardrobe.

This jumper was something I found during the process and realised the reason I never wore it was that I didn't like the colour so I dyed it (it used to be cream Grin)

Jumper - mango
Jeans - M&S

@Sickoffamilydrama I hope you get good news.

Instinctively that's what I'm going to do with my "main" wardrobe. Just keep things it it I will wear all the time - plus a few nicer bits that I am going to wear because I should. I like the idea of a bag (s) of clothes to put away for 6 months.

Good call in the top dying. I dyed a load of tops earlier in the year - blue because I like blue.

Unfortunately they are the exact same shade as hospital scrubs. And I've spent too much time in hospital in recent years to be happy about that Grin

Good luck @Sickoffamilydrama

A wardrobe management thread (all puns intended, lol) sounds awesome!
Another game of two halves today. Top half of white tee (ASOS sale) with cream jacket (Pal Offner), with Jaki combats! Amuses me no end to know, no one sees the fashion crimes going on below the computer screen!

@Purplecatshopaholic love it. I'd be entirely fooled. Though the combats are very funky! Maybe not with the shoes Smile

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/06/2021 16:06

@Sooverthemill I'd have to hire a lorry to get it all to you!
Off out for waffles
Shirt Warehouse
Jeans Levi's
Cowhide sandals Fairfax and Favor (my boycott didn't last long, the obsession is strong)

Ps am imagining @EllaPaella roller skating around center parcs!

Justonedayatatime11 · 26/06/2021 12:05

Thank you @Sooverthemill but I have to admit I just lack the motivation and energy!

OublietteBravo · 26/06/2021 13:40

Overcast and humid here today. I keep taking the jumper off and putting it back on again.

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: Gap
Shoes: Moda in Pelle

I’ll start a wardrobe management thread shortly since there seems to be some interest. My plan is to get DS to sell stuff over the summer in exchange for a cut of the proceeds.

@PawsQueen I especially love the trainers!

@Sooverthemill love those jeans - what Gap style are they? They keep emailing me their sale

Shannith · 27/06/2021 11:09

@Sickoffamilydrama have a lovely time!

@obliettebravo I've been inspired and am sorting through and - get this - ironing the definite keepers so that when I rehang them they will look crisp and pleasing and I will feel like a grown up.

Can you link to the thread.
