Four quick and easy tips on culling your wardrobe and getting rid of excess

Four quick and easy tips on culling your wardrobe and getting rid of excess

I’m no stranger to the wardrobe cull – I’ve pared back my wardrobe more times than I can count, only to go back several months later and find that I’m not 100% happy with what I see in my closet. If I’m feeling particularly ruthless, I’ll work my way through my wardrobe with a fine-tooth comb at least once a week, just to make sure that I’m not hoarding anything that I know I’m unlikely to wear. For most, I’d recommend doing a quick audit of your wardrobe at the start of each season (every three or six months –…

Lady in grey

Lady in grey

Dion Lee loop back knit, Dion Lee Line II skirt, Alexander McQueen leather jacket Fashion Week isn’t always about standing out from the crowd; sometimes, blending in has an even bigger impact. It’s little surprise that I’m pretty big on neutrals, and truth be told, this was one of my favourite looks of the day. Pared back enough to be worn in the office, but sexy enough to be worn out for drinks, once you take into account the deep exposed back of her knit sweater – from Dion Lee, of course.

Not quite Susie

Not quite Susie

Leaf Greener, MBFWA day one On first glance, and in those oversized bug-eyed sunglasses, Leaf Greener could so easily be mistaken for Susie Bubble (as I, and a few other photographers I saw that day would attest to). The sharply cut fringe, jet black hair and innate nonchalance is enough to give you a double take. I’ve been scrolling through the streetstyle blog feeds and one thing I’ll say about Leaf; she wears what she likes, because she likes it – which if you ask me, is the best way to approach fashion. And if you’re wondering what it was…

5PFW Challenge Update and some thoughts on wishlisting

5PFW Challenge Update and some thoughts on wishlisting

Mansur Gavriel bucket bag (in black/ballerina), Acne Studios jensen boots (in grain leather) So I’m three months into the Five Piece French Wardrobe Challenge, and as difficult as I’m finding it to stay away from the shops, I’ve found that actually sticking to my wishlist has really been helping to keep me in check. You may recall that I made a quick list of my five back in January and so far I’ve snagged 2 items from the list (and a couple of everyday basics, but those don’t count, remember?), and one which was a calculated impulse buy (I’m pretty…
