At this moment in time, several aspects come together that make thinking about further wardrobe planning almost a necessity. First of, I lost quite a bit of weight over the last year and I'm planning to keep it down. This means that many things in my wardrobe are now too big. I did alter my two plaid skirts for example, but that won't be possible for all items. Additionally a lot of my things have simply come to the end of their natural lifespan - they are just plain worn out. Other than that I'm also feeling the desire for a more grown up look overall, I've posted about that a few months ago. So all in all there's a lot going on.

I would call my wardrobe moderate, but so far that was mostly due to a small budget and not because of a conscious decision. That said, I feel good about repeating outfits I do like and I like to wear my favourites again and again. So thinking of a small curated wardrobe isn't a leap. Dare I say minimal? Going forward I want to work on being more deliberate about my choices. I want to create a small cohesive wardrobe that really reflects my style aspirations and the more grown up look I want to go for. I don't have a number in mind, I guess I'll just see what works and what doesn't as I go along.

The other decision I made (that in my mind goes fairly well together with a small wardrobe) is that I want to shop "green" brands as often as possible going forwards. I have certain things that I won't change (bras for example) but if there's an alternative I want to use it. I won't create too many rules about this because I want shopping to still be fun. But I want this to be a rough guideline in wardrobe building. Higher quality, but less pieces. Responsible shopping. Finding places in my wardrobe for old favourites and saying goodbye to the pieces that won't work anymore.

I'm looking forward to where this will take me! And I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
