Ok, so doesn´t Style manifesto have a much nicer ring to it than "rules"? (Note how I didn´t feel the need to put citation marks around Style manifesto!)
I have spent a lot of time purging my wardrobe (also known as The Great Purge of ´10). This has led to a sparse wardrobe, containing only the pieces that I absolutely love, and some space. The space will be, to some extent, filled with stuff that is now on The List, but some of the space will have to stay. I love the space. The space calms me.
There is something about an overstuffed wardrobe, or an overstuffed anything for that matter, that stresses me out. And also, I seem to be a rather narrow minded person, in a way, when clothes are concerned. It doesn´t matter how much clothes I have, I still only use about 30 items. When I realised that, I decided to try to make do with less. I don´t have only 30 pieces of clothing, that wouldn´t cover the different seasons or situations I need to dress for, but I have significantly less than I did a year or so ago.
It is soothing not to have to many choices, having to many choices overwhelms me. And I kept only my favourites, so I love all my clothes. All in all, I am very happy with the result.
I know that I am possibly one of the worlds worst photographers, but I did try my best.
My tiny wardrobe contains:
2 pairs of jeans, one grey and one black.
1 pair of cigarette trousers, brown check.
2 pleated wool skirts, one red and one grey.
1 cashmere wrap skirt, grey.
1 pencil skirt, grey.
1 grey wool blend, sleeveless dress.
1 black longarmed wool dress.
4 silk dresses, one black, one purple and two green.
6 cardigans.
8 jumpers.
1 silk blouse.
This does not of course include t-shirts or summer clothes. Shoes and bags will have to wait for an other post, I think.
To me now, this is a lot. It is certainly enough for easily 50 different outfits, because almost everything matches everything. And that, dear readers (hello mum!), is what the next post will be about!
