Making the decision to undertake the five piece French wardrobe challenge for 2019 has made me seriously shift my shopping mindset. I’m limited to five key pieces per season, and I want to make each one count. What doesn’t help? I have a basics/holy grail wish list that’s 25-items strong. Logic would tell me that I should focus my energy into investing in higher quality versions of wardrobe staples I love, but I’m also keen to inject some personality into my purchases along the way. I know I recently shared some shopping rules that I keep in mind when buying…
I often like to joke that I’ve got champagne taste on a beer budget. Where I can, I love to invest a bit more in my wardrobe; timeless, quality staples are the backbone of my style.
