It should be an all year long resolution. And those LBD's, they are indeed supposed to be "classic" and "never out of style", that's probably why I own five. That I never wear. Or feel boring when I do wear them. Anyway, great post and I will definitely try out your boxing tip! I too build my outfit around one or two pieces I love (could be shoes, could be a dress, could be a blazer, ...) and go one from there. Cool to see other people do that too! :-)<br />http://becausefashionthatswhy.blogspot.comIsabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970389044854306649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-50658753078371289002012-02-12T19:11:15.276+01:002012-02-12T19:11:15.276+01:00You made a few good points there.

I've been trying to create the kind of wardrobe where I love each piece, whereas a few years ago I didn't like anything enough to store it. Some day I may have enough stuff that will be box-diveable items instead of getting rid of it all. I love the photos of your box dived stuff! I want a pair of brown sandals like yours!korihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732512779058556034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-25604619198362894382012-01-28T08:50:31.040+01:002012-01-28T08:50:31.040+01:00well I certainly don't need to tell you what I...well I certainly don't need to tell you what I've prioritized for my style. since then I've def noticed that I do stay away from say, crazy patterned shoes that I may have wanted before, and even super glued brown suede on some blue plaid ones haha. But def important that you say if you ever loved it, I def try to get rid of things I was always neutral about. I always love how you go against the grain on things and your fun dresses! <br />http://dusanabotswana.com/Dus of Cuddly Cactihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047861346315488105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-56977219128395840252012-01-27T22:20:56.915+01:002012-01-27T22:20:56.915+01:00great post, love itgreat post, love itZanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130629036543966813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-13153383390474254442012-01-26T22:41:18.886+01:002012-01-26T22:41:18.886+01:00For me, basic cardigans are typically items I love...For me, basic cardigans are typically items I love and my wardrobe staples.

Guess that means I'm a shoe girl. :-) <br /><br />I'm currently on a purging streak - not just in the closet, but throughout the whole house. For too long I have thought, "But what if I need it someday" and my home (and closet) have become cluttered. <br /><br />When it comes to clothing, specifically, if I have a question about something, I DO have a box in my closet where the questionable item goes. If it sits there for a year (or longer) and I never once think about it to pull it down, then it goes out. Someone else might love it a whole lot more than I do. I also know that my style has changed a bit over the years, so when I put on clothes that I wore 10 years ago, it's just not ME anymore. <br /><br />For the record, I don't own a LBD. {GASP} :-)C.G.

Even just having a crazy patterned shirt collar peaking out from under the jumper improves my mood. I won't lie though, on days when I have no motivation I definitely reach for jeans and a grey sweater... Sometimes clothes definitely have to take a back seat!Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-53473061112272306722012-01-25T10:02:50.414+01:002012-01-25T10:02:50.414+01:00Great post Emily!

I am trying to play around a lot more with colour and mixing patterns but that generally only happens in summer. As a current student I stick to jeans and neutral jumpers. I saw a quote on pinterest a while ago "life is too short to wear boring clothes" and I am slowly (very slowly) working towards that.<br /><br />Good luck with your one item focus this year. I look forward to see what you add to the wardrobe.Michellehttp://www.iripple.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-74660206925669191272012-01-25T08:39:20.699+01:002012-01-25T08:39:20.699+01:00@Ashley: I'm glad I'm not the only one who...@Ashley: I'm glad I'm not the only one who's happy to part with vast sums of money for the right dress! ; )<br /><br />@Laura: Yellow forever!<br /><br />@Georgia Rose: Damn!

I may join you in that venture. I use to be afraid of prints and then I went a bit too crazy with prints now adding basics to my closet has set up a sort of equilibrium. I also thing it's just wear one is mentally. I use to wear colors to cheer me up but now I'm overwhelmed by the young energy around me and the darker more solid colors are quite grounding.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282687047933057842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-2375778679964639872012-01-25T05:31:10.380+01:002012-01-25T05:31:10.380+01:00And for posts like this is exactly why I love your...And for posts like this is exactly why I love your blog and style so much, it really shows you have fun with what you wear, I'm part of that group of people that lives off basics, so I admire your style so much!<br /><br />Cess O. <3 <a href="http://blog.cessoviedo.com/" rel="nofollow">The Outfit Diaries</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-19190592317474941302012-01-25T04:12:38.781+01:002012-01-25T04:12:38.781+01:00Thank you SO MUCH for this post!

I have made way too many mistakes by selling awesome things I temporarily got bored of, and will now never get back- my yellow 1950s kitten skirt, my green balloon-print dress, my perfect black lace-up boots, and a myriad of other amazing stuff that now resides in other people's wardrobes. I've now learned to pack things in boxes and put them in storage/the linen closet/under my bed. This week I put 15 dresses into our family's storage units- things like my white lace 1960s wedding dress that I never wear, but I just can't give up. I know I'll be overjoyed to open it up some day!Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-17295608076015626122012-01-25T04:01:41.985+01:002012-01-25T04:01:41.985+01:00that parasol is amazing!
