So I have been doing a monthly challenge of decluttering, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com and so I have been sorting my clothes out and I thought I didn’t own a pair of jeans and I do, two pairs.
Editing my wardrobe has helped find pieces that I knew I had but forgotten where I had put them and so put them into my wardrobe in my bedroom and not stuffed in a draw doing nothing.
Check out my Pinterest of my fashion vision board for 2023:
This helps with saving money on laundry because I have enough clothes in my wardrobe that I can wear for the week or month and do laundry around once a week, not that I like my clothes to smell, but do it in batches so anything I need to wear in the week to be washed first and anything that can wait, I will do just that and wash other clothes in the next batch.
I like to have plenty of bottoms and today find a pair of trousers for £10 in H&M so going to go back to see if they are still there and have them taken up, and get me out of wearing leggins and are smart or wear casually with a set of pumps.
I love mix and match, because I always having something to wear and anything that for me no longer goes they get donated or if worn then recycled, unless it is underwear because of hygiene. I don’t like waste and it helps me to donate to others. Thank you to those who created Charity shops because I often shop from them, if I feel the item will go with the clothes I have already got. I am still trying not to buy anymore clothes, and being strict with myself when it comes to buying clothes.
I do have my mind on some new summer clothes, but kept them in my basket and waiting because the prices can change on clothes. It often is good to wait.
I want to easy wearing clothes but with style included and I bought new pair of shoes this weekend as I may have a bit of work outside, I will find out tomorrow but its because it is a nursery they have to have a pair of just inside and not a pair that you have been outdoors and worn.
These will be great to have as they are soft wearing and can be worn with leggings, trousers, with skirts, so not wasted money and was only £8 from ASDA. I like shopping from big stores, but have to be careful because I have before got carried away, and just because it low price doesn’t mean I should have it, but what purpose will it serve.
I see fleeces on sale, and I look them say, “I have enough” and want different items and not have thousands of fleeces, and ready for the season to change and wear less.
I like buying clothes and finding different items but if I don’t have the money and I need my money for other things, then I don’t, and seeing my savings go up is more of a buzz.
I do like new items though and so going to concentrate on saving to wait for the warmer weather to see what I have for that season and if I have the space.
So more blogs to come and I hope you are liking these blogs, remember press like below if you do, and if you wish to share this post, then you are more than welcome to do so.
