I am at the stage now where I am absolutely sick of having nothing to wear yet my wardrobe is overflowing. I have pieces that no longer fit me but I am clinging onto which I need to stop doing, I have clothes that I am close to fitting into but my body is up and down at the moment and then I have clothes I bought just for the sake of it. Clothes are just sat there not being worn and are probably never going to be worn as I have realised as much as I try to change I am in more of a tomboy style and it is when I am wearing those kind of outfits I am more confident and comfortable so I am no longer going to conform for others I am going to wear what I want and feel comfortable doing so.
When I am looking it I am better suited to a more relaxed and street wear sort of style so this is what I am going to be leaning into. This sort of style will work for every direction I am heading in life as I put more effort into my football site and content creation so it will flow for those, then it will also work for the day to day and work life as this is much more casual and relaxed especially in the office environment I am in, I may have a few dressy pieces for work meetings etc however, overall it is going to be more street and casual just to make me feel as good as possible especially whilst my weight is still changing due to my weight loss journey.
Now that I know the direction I want to take my wardrobe in I am going to be starting a new series on here. I will be doing a 'Wardrobe Rebuild Series' weekly on this site where I am going to focus on making my wardrobe the very best it can be for the life I will be living going forward. This may include wish lists or items I have purchased to build the perfect wardrobe and will also focus on how I am making the most of the clothing I have to get the most use out of it unlike I do with current pieces I own. As I am on a weight loss journey still the purchase are going to be on the budget side of things to start with and then it will get a bit more nieched down when I start fitting into better brands and better quality clothing as I don't want to spend a fortune on something that may only last a few months as my body size changes.
So here is how I ideally want my wardrobe to look going forward...
> More of a street wear & casual vibe.
> Good trainer variation not just boring silhouettes - I want to try different style to mix outfits up.
> For football days no tracksuit bottoms - Make an effort and represent myself well if reporting.
> Make sure the wardrobe is weather appropriate as it is going to get wet and cold at the football.
> Start adding accessories to outfits to make them look better.
> Add bags that will work for the life I am heading for (full post on that is incoming)
I am really looking forward to rebuilding my wardrobe to make it exactly how I want it to be going forward and expressing myself through the clothes I wear. I have so many ideas for where to go with this so let's see how it goes. Be prepared to get sick of these rebuild posts though as this perfect wardrobe is going to be a big focus going forward.
See you soon
