So I don’t know about you, but I buy probably more than I need. I always seem to stick to a few old faithfuls in my wardrobe and it really does make me feel a bit silly at times. I’ve just embarked on a ridiculous clear out and I’ve actually been ruthless this time! I’m in the process of converting my spare bedroom into a sort of walk in wardrobe/dressing room type thing and I’m determined that I’m not going to fill it with junk (again!)
So after looking through almost everything I own, I narrowed down to a few of my absolute favourite things that I seem to be wearing to death (if you follow me on Instagram then you’ll know what I mean!)
So I thought I’d share some of these old faithfuls with the big bad internet!
Aside from the standard basic tshirts, vests etc, these are my current “wear til they fall apart” items
My trusty chunky knit jumper and denim shorts. Because sometimes a big chunky jumper is the great big wooly hug you need to convince you that going out into the cold is a good idea. The one pictured is from trusty Matalan.
My denim shorts are from a Scottish company called Honour Over Glory that I’ve been buying from for a few years and always found their clothing to be good quality.
Sheer shirts! I actually have a drawer dedicated to these things. Every colour/style I could have occasion to wear. I find shirts to be so versatile, wether they’re buttoned all the way up or just left open a bit, you can achieve so any different looks even with the same shirt. The one pictured is from New Look.
I’m a bit of a skinny jeans fiend. They’re the only cut of jeans I’ll wear, more personal preference I suppose but I’m always searching for the perfect pair! (Any suggestions are definitely welcome!) the ones pictured are from new look, but my current favourites are actually Florence and Fred at Tesco! Soft and comfy, ideal.
I’m pretty much always in heels. I find them more comfortable than flats, I think it might just be how my legs are made! So these boots are great for wearing out casually. I can wear them with dresses, shorts, jeans, whatever I fancy and I think they give a bit of edge. These are from New Look and aren’t real leather. They have a zip inside and are pretty darn comfy!
So apart from my wardrobe staples, I’m almost always wearing red lipstick. I’ve tried so many different brands and so far my favourite has to be No7 Stay Perfect in shade Love Red. After a recent trip to Boots I managed to accidentally spend £30 on a few treats for myself!
This included 3 lipsticks in pretty much the same colour. I know, I have a problem.
The furthest away is the No7, the middle is Collection 2000 Deluxe in 01 and the end is Kate Moss for Rimmel in 107. I think the No7 is the only one with real staying power, but the other 2 do look nice!
So I’ll be putting on my red lippy and getting back to my Spring clearout in the hope to make room for the new!
