Hello, Hi!
As you know from my About this Space page, I recently got my heart broken. And with heartbreak, some people cave into themselves (which I definitely did) and some people flourish (which I think I’m in the process of doing).
As a part of my entering my flourish era, I decided to re-do my entire wardrobe. Usually, I am a super colourful and loud person with my wardrobe. It’s probably a subconscious way to make up for the fact that I am an introvert and I refuse to start conversations with other people, so I used my clothing to get them to come to me. However, I found myself getting stuck when I looked in my wardrobe. I hadn’t really gotten dressed in months. And every time I did get dressed, it was the same pair of pants and the same hoodie. Literally.
So, I gave myself a challenge: get rid of all the colourful stuff you know you’re not wearing and stick to the basics. Maybe this will help you get dressed more often. Maybe it will help to get the creative juices flowing and give you a little more confidence.
Fashion was usually a fail-safe way for me to feel better about myself. And since I’m low in the confidence department, a reset was exactly what I needed.
Here are the items that I’ve found myself reaching for the past 2 weeks that I’ve decided to get dressed. I kept the list of stores small just so I wouldn’t overwhelm you. But really, you could get these from anywhere. Some of mine, I even got from the thrift store.
1. Oversized white T-Shirt
2. Dark Washed Skinny Jeans
3. Light Washed Mom Jeans
4. Oversized Zip-Up Hoodie
5. White Sneakers
6. Denim Jacket
7. Button Down
8. Trench Coat
