As we are now in March and we have had a few days of sunshine I decided it was time to give my wardrobe a spring clean and get rid of any clothes that are old or worn, anything I really shouldn’t be wearing anymore and also put away my really thick winter clothing (although knowing British weather the last one may not be a good idea).
The best part of doing this means I will have room to buy more clothes but it will also give my wardrobe and style a bit of an update. The main problem I find when I am shopping is that fashion seems to change so frequently I don’t know where I stand half of the time with what I have already got. The best way to combat this is to by good quality basics, (things that will always be in fashion or things that can be worn with everything) such as jeans, trousers, t-shirts, vest tops, cardigans and plain and simple dresses, these items are great no matter what fashion dictates.
If you also buy good quality you will know that they will last a couple of seasons so you can spend your money instead on the things that may only be fashionable for one season, who knows if Parisian chic, lace clothing or wearing your underwear as outerwear will be in fashion next year, and I don’t want to spend too much money on styles like that if they are not going to be in! So I am going to buy the basics like a good pair of skinny jeans, some nice vest tops and t-shirts and I’d better buy some cardigans as it’s not that warm yet!
