Transform your wardrobe using easy basic pieces:
“I have nothing to wear!” … How many times have you yelled that out to the universe as you thrash through your closet? If I’m being honest, it was almost an every-day occurrence for me until I shifted my focus and changed up my purchasing habits. In this post, I’ll give you insight and links to some of my favorite pieces and methods of thought to create a wardrobe that works for you!
How to Change Your Buying Habits
The biggest change I have made is focusing more on neutrals and basic pieces. These are pieces that I can wear multiple times with different types of outfits and wear in different seasons. Collecting a variety of neutrals will almost always ensure you have something easy and put-together ready for you!
Ask yourself the following when deciding on a purchase:
Can I create at least 3 looks with this?
How many seasons can I use this in?
Do I find this comfortable enough to wear multiple times for multiple hours?
Is this trendy, or will I reach for it a lot over the next year or longer?
Is this piece of clothing flattering on my body type or am I buying it because it is what’s “in”?
Why Does this Work?
These questions have really helped to guide my decision making and have really transitioned my style. I feel they can absolutely do the same for you! What was once a closet full of random outfits for specific occasions has now grown into a wardrobe full of classic pieces that are easily mixed and matched.
Why does this method work? It’s pretty simple – it forces you to dive deeper and really question your purchases. Why are you buying this? Can you truly get good use out of it or are you buying it for a one-time use? Do you feel it flatters your body or are you buying it because it’s the current style? One thing that is important to remember: when you feel good, you look good, and confidence never goes out of style.
Does this mean there is no room for trendy items or things that you just love? Absolutely not! What this does mean is that you will be able to create more looks with those unique and trendy pieces without having a daily meltdown!
