revamp my wardrobe

Okay, so I’m reading a bunch of books on fashion, downloading a bunch of magazine issues – from GBL to Fruits to Vogue… okay, overall looking for inspiration. Even though I was always the ‘punky kid’, I’ve always had a thing for fashion and looking at runway photos was always my ‘guilty pleasure’. I think combining knowledge with my sense of individuality should have good results. I mean… this isn’t just ‘omg this goes good with that’. I got a lot of info about different fabrics, textures and all… it’s more than what people think it is.

OMG I can’t believe I’m saying this xDDDD

And I really have to learn to sew. It would be sooooo cool if I could design my own clothes for my performances! I mean not ‘become a designer’, but just to create clothes for me. JUST for me. It would be so fantastic.

Okay, so the first thing I need is money.
Second thing I need is… money.

But alright, so I went through my wardrobe and decided what clothes I would keep. So, basically… My whole wardrobe has to GO, but I’d still have a few things left until I’ll buy a bunch of decent clothes. I decided what clothes look good on me and what I should invest in.

I heard that the year you graduate college, you keep that fashion forever. I don’t want to be a statistic.

my recent purchase:
1. skinny jeans
2. yellow puffed-sleeves shirt

And I’m not sure what exactly I need to do before I can check it off.
I guess my style has improved overall.
Back in the day, I used to wear a lot of tshirts, with zip-ups, and jeans, and sneakers.
Now I wear more dresses, skirts, shoes, and blouses.

But I still think I need:
Winter boots (for warmth!)
Dressy tops (just two or so)
Classy sunglasses (one pair)
A scarf! (or two)
More jewelry, unique jewelry (bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings)
A belt for pants, and another belt to use for shirts or dresses
A vest maybe?
Oh and a stylish jacket :) leather? denim?

i’ve recently purchase my very first shorty shorts at a surplus shop near my workplace. i sooo love it. its american eagle and its made of jeans and its tattered… perfect outfit when strolling.

and the best part of it is that i got very, very, very, very cheap.. it really is a steal!!!

the next thing that i bought was an off white kashieca polo shirt. it has an ornament, the one that you use to hold a skirt up… sorry i forgot the detail… and of course the best part of it is that i got it on SALE… heheheheh

also on that same day, i bought my very first havaianas. its metalic white and slim. its quite expensive here in our country and so its not easy to buy one that easy.

but if theres one category in fashion that i invest, and that is the shoe department. i invest in branded shoes because of the quality… and they really do go a long way…

Most of my clothes are so boring. Solid colors. Plain styles. Blah, blah, blah.

I’ve already started on this goal; got some new pieces with actual designs on them and stuff. I bought a few dresses that are more daring than I usually wear, and by daring I don’t mean sexy or that kind of thing, I mean stylish/current/interesting.

I have a long way to go, though. I’ve had some of my clothes since High School, and my 10-year High School reunion was a few years ago so . . . that’s pretty bad.

I’m trying to convince myself it is okay to, every coupla decades, spend some money on myself. I still feel a bit twitchy about it.

i’m doing this! :) i’ve brought some wardrobe essentials, yay. 1 grey cardigan and a black one too from Dot, perkins. A long sleeved white top is coming from ebay. I have already got some nice boots & trainers and jeans. Some strappy tops/vests would be nice.
Some of my old clothes are going to the charity shop.

i would like to change my style from a dorky, rag style (sounds funny but true!) to a more modern laid back casual chic…

i’d like to revamp almost all department of my wardrobe

i’m going to start with my casual clothes… i noticed that there’s a scarcity of tees in my closet. i only got a handful. tees are a staple here in my location where the climate is very humid and cotton fabric are in demand.

Every time I have a chance to purchase a new shirt, or skirt, I do. My financial situation is getting better so soon I will be able to buy more ‘high quality’ items to round out my wardrobe. I would like to vary what I wear especially now that I have more people to impress and wow. :) My body (aka weight) has stabilized as well so buying clothes that will last should be worth the investment.
