So! As I told you before, I've been cleaning out my closet (literally) over the last week. I've got bags of stuff lined up to be donated - seriously, like 8 trash bags at least. Lots of things european shoe size I wasn't ready to get rid of last year, but I am now. I'm pretty sure I've thrown out more than half of my stuff this time around european shoe size and I totally love it. Yeah, I like shopping, but tons of random crap that doesn't speak to you anymore just really weighs you down, you know? I need space and - yes, even though I'm not the neatest person out there - I need order. So! I've cleaned out, eliminated and organized, and this is the end result. european shoe size (btw I apologize in advance for the font, I thought it was fun at first but after doing a gazillion pictures with it I am SO SICK OF THE STUPID CUTESY FONT but the editing took me ages so I'm keeping it like this, sorry) (btw2 interior photography is hard yo)
This is two IKEA Portis clothes racks lined up in our bedroom for the hanging part of my wardrobe, featuring the pieces I wear frequently (there's another small batch in a closed closet - party dresses and winter coats etcetera, items I don't need that often). There's european shoe size two rows of shoes at the bottom european shoe size which is where I put the footwear european shoe size I don't wear every day. First you've got my business tops : blouses and the like. Blazers after that, and then there's my work appropriate skirts and dresses . In the back I put my casual gear : tops, dresses, skirts. I've chosen to organize my wardrobe based on occasions in a way. That's european shoe size how my mind and my style work. I take occasion and weather in consideration and then I assess what sort of look I'm feeling for the day: pants or dresses? Sexy or fuck-off? Understated or bold? Etcetera etcetera. This way of organizing makes getting dressed a lot easier, for one because I know where to find everything now!
And then you've got the new IKEA Mandal six drawer block I'm completely in love with. Before I bought this, I had my bras stuffed in shoe boxes at the side of my closet and my swimwear in a plastic bag at the bottom. My panties are still in shoeboxes, but that's just to keep them organized european shoe size in the drawer so I can make the most use of the available space. I feel so accomplished now. Everything is so easy to find, yay!
And here's the folded part of my closet. The top shelf looks so neat because I refolded everything, it's usually a lot messier but let's pretend it isn't, european shoe size OK. And yeah, I have a lot of sweaters. I think sweaters are my favourite garments yo. I should european shoe size totally refold those too though. They look kinda shabby compared to the top shelf. Let's move on to the list of essential pieces that make up my wardrobe now. Can't-live-without's. You'll notice that I don't mention any jeans except for my denim cut-offs. This is not because jeans aren't a necessity for me, but because they're a bit boring to photograph, you know. Also not featured: mini skirts. This post is long enough as is!
This piece is from COS, I acquired it in the sales. One of the few things that actually have me excited for cooler weather because this dress is seriously the bee's knees. The cat's meow. Haven't worn it for outfit pictures yet so you'll have to take my word on this one though. Great for both work and chilling. The swing dress/t-shirt dress silhouette is great for versatility in general, especially if you're not a huge girly-girl yourself and still want to look refined without the hassle of picking out tops and bottoms. european shoe size
 If you really like a piece and it is comfortable, flattering and versatile (a word I'm using way too often): don't be afraid to just get it in two colours. I like this particular silhouette because it's as basic as a pencil skirt, but just a tad more fun. You don't have to add accessories and shit to look special thanks to the peplum hem. See me wearing it here and here .
Don't need to explain this, do I? A beautiful white shirt really is essential to basically any wardrobe. Just find a cut and fabric that works for you. Oversized is a total must for me, and I don't like classic shirt collars on myself so this Mao-esque collar is just perf. See it in an outfit here .
Another piece I've yet to wear in an outfit european shoe size are these fancy jogging trousers by Selected Femme . I snapped them up in the ASOS sales and they have this sort of skinny-slouchy fit. The combination of the thick, dirty grey knit and the peachy side panels european shoe size makes these casual as well as chic. Just imagine them with that blouse from earlier and some pumps. NICE, right?
Because some days, you're just not into quiet minimalism, right? The leopard Zara blouse has been a favourite of mine for a few years now (you can see it featured in an outfit here and here ), and the gem-printed pencil skirt is from the ASOS sales. european shoe size
Oversized, cotton t-shirts are indispensable. I like the tiny flecks of white in the navy-grey fabric. Details like that really make a garment look more expensive than it really is.
