It is finally time for me to start upgrading my wardrobe...

The time for less talking and more action taking has finally arrived and it is time for me to finally start upgrading my wardrobe. The plan going forward is to really knuckle down for those big purchase when I hit my goal weight but also to knuckle down and start building the wardrobe I want rather than buying items for the sake of it that I am never going to wear. The step of upgrading the wardrobe is going to be getting on top of all the washing and dragging all my clothing out to sort through, I will be getting rid of those items that don't fit and that I no longer wear. To be honest though it isn't just the clothing I will be sorting through I will also be doing the same with all my footwear and accessories, so I will basically be starting a fresh in many areas which is what I have been hoping for.

Once everything is cleared out I need to make sure that what I am adding to my wardrobe is made from quality materials as I am sick of having to replace items over and over after buying them cheap. I also need to make sure that the items I am buying are going to fit the more elegant/luxury style I am opting for going forward. I am not going to be buying items just to sit gathering dust anymore I only plan on buying what I am going to get my wear out of. The clothing also needs to suit a variety of things such as the lifestyle I am opting for with trips out, long walks with the dog and also my day to day at work where I really want to elevate my style rather than looking like a slob as I currently do. 

As I upgrade my wardrobe I am going to changing my habits when it comes to shopping which is certainly going to take some work but will stop me wasting money and make sure I am only picking up items I really want. The plan is to make a list on my phone with the items I really want on it and try to stick to that list when I shop. This list will be made up of products I know will work well with the style I am opting for and that are better quality than I usually buy. I will also be buying seasonally too rather than buying something that isn't suitable for the months ahead. With my weight loss journey I don't need to buy jumpers in April as by the time it comes to wearing them they may not fit, this should really help with keeping the clothing I own to a minimum too and I can easily swap items around as the seasons change. At the moment I am pretty bad at just nipping out on small trips and ending up wasting money however, going forward I am planning on cutting back on shopping trips curating that shopping list over time and then going out on one big shopping trip armed with the shopping list and hopefully plenty of money that I have saved up. 

I am really looking forward to seeing where this wardrobe upgrade is going to head as we finally start to change things up rather than just sitting on the idea. I will be posting all about the journey on here and on social media going forward with the bits I am getting rid of and the bits I am adding into my wardrobe. There will be try ons, mini hauls, unboxings and so much more coming to social media if things go to plan. On here I will be sharing what I pick up monthly and styling pieces so be prepared for more fashion content on here too at long last.

Now let's get that huge declutter done and make a start on upgrading the wardrobe including the footwear and accessories... it is time to level up and start showing the real me fashion wise. Let's get ready for much more fashion content...

See you soon,
