Step 2: Make a List {Part 1, Part 2}
Step 3: Shop
Step 4: Mix and Match
Step 5: Accessorize
Above are all the clothes I have purchased since starting my wardrobe overhaul almost nine months ago (minus my shoes and accessories). I was pretty much starting from ground zero since half of my wardrobe didn’t fit. In total I have spent about $400 over the last nine months building my wardrobe and have got 18 different pieces (not counting shoes). Disregarding the articles of clothing I kept from my previous wardrobe, with the 18 pieces I have bought alone, I can create over 50 different outfits! That is almost 2 months worth of outfits!
In this step of Wardrobe basics I hope to show you how to mix and match your wardrobe for maximum wear and versatility. I am still working on getting pictures of all the different outfits…because 50 really is a lot of outfits to photograph… but for now, here is a small example.
In this example, I’ve taken 2 pieces from my wardrobe (my black skinny jeans and striped tee) and created 4 different outfits. I could even create 4 more outfits with these pieces if I was to replace the striped tee with my white button-up shirt. Get the idea?
