spring dresses
i do have a goal to wear more dresses this summer
because i'm a girl and honestly dresses are made for girls. i love these two from ASOS, definitely thinking about buying the one on the right
the uniform
this is a compilation list of things i think will be essential to the wardrobe...
- black blazer-simple but interesting cut or detail
- perfect white shirt
- 3 different styles of jean
- trouser pant/alternative pant to jeans
- trench coat
- black dress
- black flats
- black bag
- black/brown belt-jean belt, thin belt, wide belt
- shorts-black/gray
- black tights
The Basic Wardrobe
i realized today that i haven't really made any New Years resolutions and perhaps i am due since usually i don't give much thought to them. number one is to work more on myself. it's time i get serious about a career, about being more satisfied with my life. there are too many mornings i have spend on morning walks, looking up at buildings, watching people walking by, busying to start their days as i continuously question why that isn't me. another aspect of myself is to speak up more. i'm a fairly quiet, passive person perhaps to a fault. there has been multiple times where i should have said something but i've either been too afraid or care too less but i've come to the realization that to have an opinion is better than none and to speak is better to be silent.
number two is to rework the wardrobe. i keep opening my closet doors to find clothes hanging that i never wear. and it seems to be increasingly growing so i've decided to rework it to build a wardrobe with standard basics that i can always wear. the more i read blogs and articles the more i want to make this a reality and see that it is an investment and necessity.
i came across this fitting passage by Kathleen Tessaro:
One of the most striking differences between a well-dressed Englishwoman and a well-dressed Parisian is in the size of their respective wardrobes. The Englishwoman would probably be astonished by the very limited number of garments hanging in the French woman's wardrobe but she would also be bound to observe that each one is of excellent quality, expensive perhaps by British standards, and perfectly adapted to the life a Frenchwoman leads. She wears them over and over again, discarding them only when they are worn or outmoded, and she considers it a compliment (as it is meant to be) when her best friend says, "I'm so glad you decided to wear your red dress-I've always loved it!"
Foreign visitors are often shocked by the high prices in Paris shops and they wonder how a young career girl, for example, who earns no more than her British counterpart, can afford to carry an alligator handbag and to wear a suit from the Balmain boutique. The answer is that she buys very few garments: her goal is to possess a single perfect ensemble for each of the different occasions in her life, rather than a wide choice of clothes to suit every passing mood."
words of wisdom.
