I massively decluttered my wardrobe recently and kept roughly 40 pieces that I don't necessarily love, but do wear. There are a couple of nicer pieces like a Hush summer dress and a One Hundred Stars blouse, but otherwise it's all M&S Collection, Next, Uniqlo.
At the moment, my "uniform" is cotton t-shirt, long-line cardigan and mum/balloon jeans. I mean, it's okay, but 🥱
I'd love some pointers or inspiration on how to rebuild my wardrobe with things that I'd actually love to wear. In my head, it's all ethically sourced (read: not likely to have been made in a sweatshop), beautiful textures, quality materials (not something blended to look nice on a hanger that deteriorates after the first couple of washes).
I've got a 9mo old and I've been wearing pretty much the same clothes since my 6yo was born ðŸ˜
I'm 5'8" / 5'9". Wear a size 12 top, 10 bottom. Long torso, average legs. Feel the cold. 😅 I literally don't have a clue! I know what I like and don't like, but it's not necessarily a style I can chase. German/Scandi/probably not heels/might flash a collarbone/wrist/ankle/definitely not cleavage
😅 layers, simplicity, I do like colour, but don't really do prints.
The reason I'm starting to look now is that I only have 2 pairs of jeans that I am actively wearing atm and the situation is bad:
- 1 light blue pair of M&S balloon jeans (comfy, bit short in the leg, not particularly flattering)
- 1 dark blue pair of Liverpool Los Angeles mom jeans (comfy, bit short in the leg, falling off me as the lyocell/polyester/elastane blend is failing)
Also, I find shopping incredibly stressful, so tend to buy the first thing I see on a mannequin 😅
Help! 🤞🤞
