<\/a><\/p>\nI have been experiencing some sort of style crisis for quite some time now, like I wrote in last post. The Minimalism challenge has only made it worse. I have been a bit irritated and weirdly disturbed by my wardrobe. I do have nice clothes in my wardrobe, but they are not perfect. Not the kind of garments you might call your favourites. Also, as I have mentioned before, I don’t really have that much chances to wear other than work clothes, which are totally different animal. What to do?<\/p>\n
I have been going through old outfit photos and studied my own style. When looking at them, I get the strong feeling that I don’t want to settle any “almost perfect but quite”-items anymore. That only leads into stuffed wardrobe and still nothing to wear. I would like to swap those “almost perfects” into “favourites”. In other words, swapping three quite good cardigans into one perfect one. Two quite nice blouses into one perfect one and so on. Now I just have to find the perfect ones so I can get rid of the “almost but quites”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yll\u00e4 olevista asukokonaisuuksista en ole j\u00e4\u00e4nyt kaipaamaan juuri mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Kuvissa on vain muutama sellaista setti\u00e4 jotka n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t omaan silm\u00e4\u00e4ni kivoilta edelleen, eniten noissa viimeisiss\u00e4. Siin\u00e4 miss\u00e4 2000-luvun alussa k\u00e4ytin paljon mustaa, nyt kaipaan v\u00e4ri\u00e4. Mustat vaatteet j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t aiempaa useammin kaapin pohjalle. Nyt olenkin alkanut pohtia ett\u00e4 mit\u00e4 t\u00e4ydennyst\u00e4 vaatekaappini vaatisi. Niit\u00e4 vaatekappaleita joilla korvaan “ihan ok”-juttuja. Ja niit\u00e4 joita sielt\u00e4 viel\u00e4 kokonaan puuttuu. Osa on ollut hankintalistalla jo pidemp\u00e4\u00e4n, osa tarpeista on ilmennyt l\u00e4hiaikoina. Vaatevalikoimani kaipaa erityisesti tavallista talvisempaa ja v\u00e4likauden arkivaatetta. Sellaista jonka voi kiskaista p\u00e4\u00e4lle kun kaipaa jotaikin erityisen mukavaa asua, mutta ei halua hengailla verkkareissa. Minulla on yksi t\u00e4llainen mekko, mutta olisi kiva saada vaihtelua. Kes\u00e4kaudeksi vastaavia juttuja l\u00f6ytyykin paremmin. Huomaan lis\u00e4ksi ett\u00e4 olen kasvanut ulos muutamista hameistani, joten sellaistakin t\u00e4ydennyst\u00e4 olisi tarve saada. Hankintalistalla olisi ainakin seuraavia: Kaivelin viel\u00e4 Instagramista ja Pinterestist\u00e4 joitakin inspiroivia asuja ja kuvia. Jotakin sellaista joka t\u00e4ydent\u00e4isi vaatekaappiani kivasti. Pinterest-kansion l\u00f6yd\u00e4t t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4<\/a>. K\u00e4y toki kurkkaamassa my\u00f6s n\u00e4m\u00e4 Instagram-k\u00e4ytt\u00e4j\u00e4t, heill\u00e4 on upeita tyylej\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t miss many of those outfits seen above. Only couple of them still look nice to me, mostly in the last photos. I used mostly black in the early 2000’s, now I long for colour. Black garments are more and more often left at the bottom of the wardrobe. So now I have started to think what I need to include to my wardrobe. Things to replace the “quite ok”-stuff. And those which are completely missing. Some of them have been on my list for quite some time now, some are new requirements. My wardrobe is lacking ordinary everyday garments for Winter and Spring\/Autumn. The kind that can be worn when comfortability is top priority, but don’t want to hang out in leggings. I have one dress like that, but it would be nice to have variety. I seem to have more of that kind of stuff for Summer season. I also have noticed that I have outgrown some of my skirts, so atleast one larger size skirt would be nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Atleast following items are on my shopping list: I also searched Instagram and Pinterest for inspirational outfits and photos, for items that I would like to add to my wardrobe. You can find my Pinterest folder in here<\/a>. Make sure to check out these Instagram users, they got awesome styles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>
