improve my wardrobe

Sorry for my crudeness, but I am so tired of the appearance that everyone is supposed to fit. And to be honest—the clothing choices that most of my peers make are not respectable, or do they improve their image and their own self expression. I’ve abandoned the brands, etc. No more. I think that my wardrobe will improve if I am not afraid to be outgoing.

i really truly do believe that I am getting there.
i just think that i need to finish stocking up on the basics (for example, getting a pair of high-waisted shorts, or a versatile pair of sandals)
i can tell the improvement, i just need to stop being lazy and grabbing the closest sweatshirt to me.
it’s not that i have bad style in any means, it’s just that i am lazy.

As of today, I received a lovely high-waisted skirt, a definite staple for my spring wardrobe. I am considering purchasing the skirt in another color since the black one I purchased is perfect. I am so excited. Definitely going to be looking for more things in this style.
(that picture doesn’t do it justice, I think you need to see it in real life.)

I am anticipating the arrival of this tunic. Beautiful form and not to mention the deep shades of purple in it. Will be great for a more casual day when I don’t feel like layering [although it could be layered I suppose]. Also, much to my dislike, I realized the lack of good denim in my closet [several pairs don’t fit well]. I am considering a pair of medium rise cheap monday skinny jeans, but am not for sure yet. For now I will have to make do.

I never really realized how much my wardrobe was lacking until the last year or so. Before I had bought more mainstream, stereotypical clothes. Now, I am working little by little to organize my closet (getting rid of things, trying on, etc.) Bought a pair of buckle boots, a black high-waisted skirt, plaid tunic, and vest from Urban Outfitters to compliment some of the items I already own. It will be difficult to leave old pieces behind, but it is for the better.
