I’m not
going to pretend to be a fashion guru, (even though I do love me some fierce
fashions), but I told ya’ll last month that I wanted to start including some
fashion posts on the site (maybe like once a month or so).
For me,
expressing myself through my clothing is something that I really enjoy doing, so I felt like
that was a part of me that was missing from this site. (Even though I may come
across as a bit serious in some of the things that I write, I’m really a kid at
heart…who loves laughing, playing dress up, and having a good time)!
I think I
might have mentioned this before as well, but I'm also a BIG saver. I would rather put money away for emergencies, savings,
or those moments when I need to treat myself to something extra special, than I
would enjoy making random purchases or buying a bunch of stuff just because.
That said, recently I decided that my wardrobe is in SERIOUS
NEED of an update. Not in the ‘I’m
still wearing stuff from the 90’s and early 00’s’, not that anything is wrong with that, but more so in the ‘I want to buy more classic
pieces that I may have to spend a little more money on but will last longer and
I will get more use out of’.
So in
classic me form, I've been trying to save money on the side for my
anticipated upcoming shopping extravaganza (I’m thinking this will happen
sometime around July or August).
In the
meantime, I have been creating a list of everything that I'm going to need.
(I’m literally going to get rid of EVERYTHING
that is in my closet at the moment. Me and thrift shops, or trash cans, are
going to become the best of buddies). I've also been eyeing several of the
styles/pieces below for inspiration and created this lookbook via Polyvore to get a feel for what I'll be searching for. (I'm really into skirts and dresses at the moment). What do you think? What is your own style
like???
***P.S. I’m
working on next month’s fashion post with the working title “Essential Items
That Every Woman Should Have In Her Wardrobe” and for March, “How Short Is
TOO Short???”
Let me know
if you like these sort of posts. And if you’re wondering what does clothing and
appearance have to do with dating, self-esteem, or knowing one’s worth, when
you look good you feel better. Plus I just enjoy being girly! ©
I know what you mean. I feel like I need to update my style. I love zara for their classic pieces. I want to dress more sophisticated and better. Everyone always things I'm 18 or younger and I'm 26. lol Look forward to your fashion posts.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, thanks for reminding me about Zara. I had completely forgot about checking them out. I have been looking at Asos, Topshop and Miss Selfridges. (Thank God for international shipping)! Over to Zara now. Thanks again :)
