Wardrobe Awakening
Wardrobe Over Haul
What I need is a wardrobe over haul. But my closet is such a mess! I need help figuring a few things out. I’m somewhere between stay at home and live in sweats and working girl wardrobe. I hate sweats! I love pajamas, but it’s awkward to answer the door in the middle of the day in pajamas, isn’t it? I want a soft, warm, comfortable yet presentable wardrobe. The key is to purchase the right fabric. The really soft knit, I buy from an online company, Girl Charlee. I also purchase soft cotton poplin online, here I love the way it moves with me and looks great when I use it for my skinnies. I always get compliments. See, I wear lounge clothing everywhere, it’s just sometimes it looks a little more dressed up.
I was reading about a base wardrobe, with 10 in each category that remain the same year round. I love this idea!
- Workout (pants and tops)
- Lounge (pajamas, yoga pants, big comfy sweatshirts)
- Layering (tanks and tees)
- Outerwear (jackets, swimwear, hats and mittens)
- Formal / Accessories (necklaces, scarves, earrings)
This isn’t a capsule wardrobe, it’s separate. YAY! Clothing I can wear and not feel guilty it doesn’t mesh with my capsule, the perfect formula for a wardrobe. 😉
The latest blog I read, over at a pinchofyum.com, suggests figuring out why your style is or what types of things you do so you can build your own formula. I love that idea, like I said I don’t have a wardrobe for work anymore.
- Active: gym, kids, on the go, etc.
- Work: office, meetings, etc.
- Dressy: formal events, concerts, etc.
- Fun: restaurants, date night, etc.
- Lounge: movies at home, baking, etc.
- Daily: groceries, errands, work-from-home, etc.
- Doctor appointments: rehab, physical therapy, counseling, etc.
My wardrobe falls between lounge and fun. YES my lounge clothes are worn for doctor appointments. LOL But, when I’m not going to doctor appointments, I have FUN clothing I wear.
