I have too many clothes (not a news flash – I have been aware of this for many years now), my one tiny closet and two dressers are filled to overflowing with shoes, jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, skirts, coats and more. While I do purge on a semi regular basis there’s more there than any of my friends. That’s a challenge!
So why when the weather hit a lovely 13 degrees today was I still looking in my closet and not liking any of the spring jacket options? Sure I still have the double breasted pink flowered number from a few years ago (a great statement piece) but it feels slightly dated this spring. There’s the denim jacket from 4 years ago that has a nipped in waist but is fairly long over the hips… but it never looks good actually done up properly. I also have my green suede and light purple leather blazers… but they’re looking a little worn around the edges. There’s nothing wrong with the last three options but there’s also nothing all that interesting or fun about them.
Everything I’ve seen in stores recently has been focusing on volume – which never works on me! So I may be stuck with what I have… unless I spring for a trench coat. I always agonize over decisions like this though, the last thing I want is to be slavishly following the trend – I will not be a fashion victim. Repeat after me… not a fashion victim, not a fashion victim, not a fashion victim. (If I say it enough times it will magically become true)
I’ve been seeing some great scarves too… maybe that’s a route I need to explore further.
