At any rate, one of the first things that Anushka Rees suggests that you do is assess what you are wearing and what you like. So, I documented two weeks worth of outfits. Or I thought I did. When I went back to check, not all of the photos were there, or worth posting (there were a few awkward shots of my outfit lying on the bed, because I had already changed into PJ's when I remembered to take the photo).
So here is a sampling of mostly what I wore a few weeks ago:
I thought this exercise was very helpful, because it helped me look back and identify patterns of what I actually wear day to day. For example, skinny jeans are a daily norm (and have been for years). I also really like white tops (which I also discovered this past year). I love boots in the wintertime, and sweaters over a tee is great for the transitional winter/spring days that we are having. I realized that I like comfort, but it can't ever be at the expensive of style. I always want to look put together and nice. No sweat pants for me. I also don't like pulling off tennis shoes with normal clothes, although I think they look great on other people.
Next, I want to figure out what my 6 or 8 go-to outfits are from my closet.
I totally agree with you on the tennis shoes! I just can't pull them off no matter how hard I try, and I think they're cute on other people, but I much prefer wearing ankle boots, flats, or my rain boots on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love every outfit & scarf!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! I did wear a lot of scarves those weeks, didn't I!
ReplyDeleteI'm on hold for this book at the library, and I'm very excited to read it (I think I first heard about it on Janssen's blog actually :)). This looks like such a great first activity - to really see what your fashion sense is like!
