i’ve made grocery lists and to do lists and even packing lists but how i have come this far in life without making a WARDROBE list is like, so dumb.
as i was making said list i was thinking that my lack of list in this department is the reason i shop for the occasion and subsequently have very little for every day dressing. it’s why i look like an edgy homeless hooker when i go to the grocery store.
so now i have to be very strict with myself. only from the list only from the list only from the list because i DO love a sequin.
i don’t need another party dress. or trendy sweater. or anything with sequins.
and no, i’m not buying 6 coats tomorrow. it’s just apparent to me now that i need well made basics/staples in my closet to make getting dressed easier. making this list helped me see the bigger picture.
it’s also helped me to put together some every day inspiration looks onto a pinterest board and subsequently find the pieces and pin those too. so when i’m ready to purchase i am basically purchasing an entire outfit.
here’s my fall/winter vibe…
this…
these steve madden boots are an affordable version of my beloved but stupid expensive chloe rylee boot.
under $100 chunky sweater. comes in 7 colors. i like the brown but i might snag the red too.
i’ll be purchasing 3 of these everlane ovesized fleece hoodies. white, black and grey. i love the side slit.
these rupert sanderson tiptoe suede boots are on my long list. as in i will continue to long for them and wait til they pop up used on the real real or vestiaire collective.
gimme all the blazers too. i am happy to be blazer girl. this one from mango, this one from everlane, this one from ganni, this one from & other stories, ok all of these.
7. i like the wash on these skinny jeans.
8. aritzia has basic chunky hoodies in every color under the sun.
9. this max mara sweater is pricey but not crazy and it’s really just perfect in every way. it is the exact sweater that claudia is wearing up there.
10. love the wash and the price of these washed out black jeans.
not pictured but no less important: give me 10 of these basic layering tees.
it’s a start.
