Looking in my wardrobe I have many staples and one is trousers, sports bottoms, a few jumpers, some can be for summer but I like to rotate my wardrobe and have a white suitcase of clothes so I wear them all and I suppose could be known as winter but actually with the British Weather, even in summer it can be cold.
I had on the trousers I have that I have on now and are Chocolate Brown Trousers from M&S, one of my favourite places to buy trousers and they are elasticated but I also love the style. They were taken up at the bottom by my mum and I have a black pair and the top underneath I think that was from a charity shop and the cardigan is from Amazon.
With Amazon some aren’t always good condition and can become bubbly and not wash well. Not all, I like to order packs of white vest tops and shoes but had to throw a lot of the clothes from Amazon, which is a shame.
I like items that last. I am curvy and have big hips. I love a cardigan. The one in the picture was from a charity shop. The blue top underneath I have had for ages and have got compliments on it, not sure where from and a pair which I need a new set, denim shorts.
However I do like a pair of jeans and jackets and so will invest in a pair of Denim Shorts but not yet and thinking of a Denim skirt as a lot more versatile then shorts.
I’ve got my passion for TKMaxx again and bought some new bits as I want to be more feminine. I will take pictures but need a bra for the dress I bought and they have some real treasures and I bought a really nice sets of shorts and I like their range as I can wear them as nightwear or day wear. They can be worn in the winter and breathable.
I have been creating collages on Pinterest and the fashion along with journals, as I love journals, sort of my style now. I wanted to stop wearing leggings and wear trousers, now dresses and Pinterest is great for inspiration to build a wardrobe. I like to add a bit of colour as well as black and just have a fun interesting wardrobe that I can wear all year and nothing is not worn.
I like shopping my wardrobe and am cutting down. I go by good material, I have a cardigan from H&M and I wear it all the time. I always have a cardigans that can be worn as jackets and shirts.
T-Shirts never will go out of fashion. My main ones I have are from TKMaxx and H&M and Concert T-Shirts, of concerts I have been to and very versatile. One of my friends when ever she goes to a concert she will always get one and she and my other friend bought me one when we saw Bon Jovi in Hyde Park and love them too.
The one thing I don’t wear are belts. I always find them too long but can help an outfit. I feel good underwear is essential and I bought some chaffing shorts to wear under shorts if they are short short or when wearing a skirt or a dress.
I like to buy vest tops as layers and in the summer with them worn on their own with a bra underneath and again as PJs rather than a set. I love to mix and match.
