What Shall I Wear?

A question that haunts all fashion aficionados, causes sleepless nights amongst womankind and generally makes life difficult, can finally be answered with four easy steps.

Step One
You have plenty to wear, but you hate it, are sick of it, feel fat in it or cannot comprehend why you bought it in the first place. Any item of clothing that falls into this category must go on a pile of clothes marked ‘for charity’. The Salvation Army is at hand to help the ‘recessionista’ movement of fashion on a budget and is campaigning for women to toss out their old clothes. Find your nearest Salvation Army drop off point now and donate your old LBDs for a clearer conscience (and wardrobe).

Step Two
Out with the old: now to re-assess what you have. Try to look at your newly detoxed wardrobe in a fresh light and consider new outfits – can that pencil skirt look different if you added a patent waist belt? Grab a glass of wine, stare at your closet and get creative.

Step Three
Make choice new season investments. We love shopping: it’s a cardio workout (of sorts) and will help the economy. Justifications aside, only buy things that will uplift your current wardrobe, like accessories that are trend-led. When shopping, try to assimilate outfits in your head with old clothes in mind. This is productive shopping and will open new style doors.

Step Four
Create three style characters for yourself to lend variation to your look – ‘Me looking fabulous at work’ might equal cute pussy-bow blouses and tatty satchels, ‘Me off-duty’ might mean Converse and red lippy, while ‘Me on a date’ could be LBDs and faux-fur stoles etc. By dissecting your style, you are less likely to grow bored of your reflection.
