Probably 90% of my existence is covered by casual/smart casual outfits if not more. But a few times a year I will have something that bit smarter to go to - a work social/client entertaining event, a more fancy night out etc. every time I am caught short and panic and end up buying something I wear once that looks a bit off and I fidget in.
last year I thought I’d cracked it. I had a fitted top/wide legged trouser outfit that wasn’t cutting edge fashion but it was quietly stylish, versatile and I always got compliments. Basically it was my version of a little black dress.
i have lost quite a bit of timber so it no longer fits. I am doing a post weight loss wardrobe reset and I just don’t have anything to fill the gap.
so just a musing - are others ‘smart event ready’ or do you buy per event (and yes I know you can hire but I’m not talking that fancy, just slightly posher). And what is your go too. I did read an article that ‘jeans and a nice top’ was coming back which was basically what I had but with slightly waftier trousers
also shoes. I live in boots/trainers and rarely wear shoes (I have funeral shoes and two pairs of ballet flats). Maybe throw them into the mix too
