img source Every season I find myself flicking through the contents of my wardrobe, pulling out the old and unworn to make room for the new. Sometimes, it may even be a little more often than that. It’s a cathartic exercise which is cleansing in its own way, streamlining the contents of my wardrobe. While some tend to do their wardrobe cleanse before a season begins, I find myself committing to these efforts once I’ve added a few of these new season purchases to my wardrobe, so I can evaluate what still belongs, and what is no longer my style.…
Alexander Wang singlet, ASOS pleated midi skirt, Helmut Lang blazer, Diane von Furstenburg shoes, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker necklace, SGC ring Making the most of some lighter layers and finally caving into my recent flirtation with the midi skirt, pleats and all. Never have I been asked so many times why I am dressed so summery, or I suppose, feminine, than today – harking to the more gamine-esque qualities of my wardrobe.

My focus has undeniably turned to the classics, with more black, white, and every shade of grey in-between. And lest we forget,…
Bassike striped dress, Zara ivory trench, Diane von Furstenburg leopard heels, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel Not so long ago, I made big fuss about how I got by with only one coat, one trench, and one leather jacket. How quickly things change. Rather than remain stagnant, I managed to double my meager collection, the most recent addition of which has been this flowing trench from Zara.
