It took a tremendous effort, but I have managed to drastically reduce my wardrobe. I have two trash bags full of clothing ready to go to charity, and I'm still not through. There is so much crap in my closet and dresser that I just bought on a whim because of a serious problem I've developed called " Oooooh! It's on sale!?!" disorder or " Oh! Shiiiiny" syndrome. I'm sure that there are a few ladies out there who can sympathize. I ran through a bunch more laundry last night, so after I sort through all of that junk, I can begin actually cleaning out all of the other stuff that's clogging up my closet.I wish my closet could look like this pic! I want a wardrobe that's simple yet highly functional. It's amazing the combinations you can create from a few tops and bottoms and a whole lot of accessories. If I could donate all of my current clothing and go on a crazy shopping spree, but only for building a functional wardrobe, this is what I would get: WORKOUT CLOTHING= 3 quality sports bras, 3 pairs of running shorts, Underarmour long sleeve shirt, 3 pair sweat pants. ESSENTIALS= 2 sets of pajamas ( 1 sexy, 1 comfy) 7 Adorable matching underwear sets ( One for each day !) , 3 swim suits (2 bikini, 1 one piece), socks, 3 camisols ( black,white,grey), 3 tank tops (black, white, grey), 3 plain t-shirts (black, white grey) BOTTOMS: 2 pair Skinny Jeans( dark,light) , 3 Leggings ( black,grey,jean), 2 pair nice pants ( black, fun color) 3 Shorts ( 1 blue jean, 1 tan, 1 black). TOPS= 2 button down silk blouses and 2 cotton ( White, Blue) 3 Pullover sweaters ( Black, Cream, Navy, Grey) 4 Cardigans (grey, black, tan, fun color ) OUTERWEAR: 1 beige trench coat, 1 wool peacoat, 2 hoodies, 1 northface jacket. ACCESSORIES= Tights ( nude, black, white, polka dots :), pink), Scarves ( light ones, heavy ones, I'll take them all :), 1 pearls set( long strand, bracelet, and earings), 1 locket necklace, 1 gold bracelet, 1 opal ring, 1 bird necklace, 1 pair killer sunglasses BAGS: 1 brown leather satchel, 1 cute clutch, 1 neutral dainty bag with chain strap. SHOES= 3 pair Classic heels (black, white,nude), 3 Ballet flats ( black, white, metallic), 2 pair Knee high leather boots ( black, brown), 1 pair dark ankle boots, 2 pair Sandals ( sporty Adidas, gladiator) , 2 flip flops (black, white), 1 pair Uggs, 2 pair running shoes, 1 pair loafers (brown), 1 pair rain boots, 1 pair neutral canvas flats. FANCY CLOTHES=2 blazers (black, navy) 1 LBD, 3 sundresses ( light and airy), 1 black skirt, 2 kneeish length floaty skirts (light colors) 2 floaty shorter skirts. I know this may seem like a lot, but for me, the essentials and workout clothes don't really count. Without those, it's 10 bottoms, 11 tops, 5 outerwear, 19 pairs of shoes, 11 fancy clothes, and as many accessories as I damn well please :) The ones I have crossed out are things I already own. I think I am going to do individual posts on each category detailing the actual items that I would buy. I'm planning on doing an almost complete wardrobe overhaul for my 21st birthday, on April 28, so this is going to take some serious planning and saving and shopping!. The good thing is, I only have to shop for the more Spring/Summer stuff and I can worry about the other clothing in the Fall. I want to organize this for myself, so the highlighted will be stuff I'm getting for my birthday while the other stuff is what I will get in the fall. I want my wardrobe to be more grown up and sophisticated, so I'm trying to avoid neon colors, fads, loud prints and patterns, sloppiness. Even if I'm just going to class, I want to look good ;) Well, I am off to hunt these items down online <3 Give me your opinion! Am I missing anything? Should anything be removed? All positive input is welcome
