Lack of identity

I feel a little like I’m going through an identity crisis; that constant feeling of having nothing to wear (and a wardrobe full of clothing). My journey towards a more minimal wardrobe has been both rewarding and not without its hurdles, and if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that you don’t need a wardrobe bursting at the seams to feel well dressed. And while I feel confident in the fact that I’ve found my personal style – along with discovery what I do and don’t like – I can’t help but feel like there’s something lacking.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a question of it being the odd trend missing – there’s no shortage of fun silhouettes in my closet – but perhaps more a perceived lack of variety. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I’ve spent the past week browsing in-store and online, to try and spice things up a little bit.

Virtually nothing has been out of bounds (except for extremely full skirts); I’ve been hunting high and low for technicolour prints, peplum tops, and silk trousers that just graze the ankles in the hopes of trying to fill that sweet spot.

Coming from the girl who has spent the year in favor of quality over quantity, this last month of the year has really had me stumped, and wondering, is it something in the Christmas air? While I might have given in to temptation (and have a couple of exciting new buys winging their way to me), I’m still firmly of the school of thought that less is best. Sometimes, a little summer wardrobe refresh is all that’s needed.
