The Wardrobe Crisis

What a lovely photo, you must be thinking. So artistically presented, and well organised you may say. Yes I am totally aware that I just grabbed a bunch of clothes, piled them up and snapped away. Nothing special here, what I was trying to depict was the moment that I had a wardrobe meltdown and covered my entire room in little piles of clothes, to keep, sell, bin, charity shop, stash away just incase. I had a wardrobe meltdown, and although slightly humours at the time it has really made me think.
My style is pretty simple, I have a few outfits that I tend to rotate and then the rest of the clothes which I own are just left sitting in the drawers. Clothes which I haven't worn for years, but for some reason or another cannot bring myself to chuck out. I have clothes which I distinctively remember buying over three years ago, surely my style has changed since then.

I have an interest in fashion, and I know the style I want to wear. The type of clothes, but I just don't own a huge amount of these ideal clothes. My wardrobe is an odd combination of clothes, which I like and will happily wear but they do not express the style I want at all. does this even make sense?

So one day, I just did it. Ruthlessly chucked and emptied my drawers. Anything which hadn't been worn for ages, is a bit old, or just isn't me anymore is gone. Leaving me with a very minimal selection of clothes, and I could in fact chuck more but I do need something to wear. I am left with the skeleton of a wardrobe, and from here I am aiming to develop my style how I want. Keep it more to a capsule style of wardrobe, as I like simplistic looks.

I haven't bought anything as of yet, partly because I am on this fitness mission so I am going to reward myself with new clothes, and because of Australia I basically need to buy clothes for that as currently I own no shorts, one skirt and a lot of jeans and thick jumpers.

I am currently selling a lot of clothes over on depop my username is @sandfordtwins please go check it out, make me offers- I want everything gone so now is the perfect time to grab a bargain.

So apart from a lot of waffle, what I am trying to say is that sometimes you need to have a clear out. Ruthlessly chuck away everything and start again, its refreshing and trust me you don't miss the clothes you chucked because you never wore them anyway.
