What are your fashion goals for this month? Are you planning to fill the gaps in your wardrobe? Trying to integrate more color to your daily wear? Experimenting with new styles/silhouettes that you haven't before? Making an effort to wear much neglected items? Making environmentally-conscious style decisions? Thrifting for the first time?
I'll start. Last week, I rotated my fall wardrobe. I have limited closet space so this is unfortunately a must. In the process (thanks also in part to Mac's challenge a few weeks ago), I sorted out and donated everything (including shoes, bags, accessories) that I no longer like/wear. My plan for this month is to have everything in my closet in the most perfect, ready-to-wear condition. This includes things like shortening hems, missing replacing buttons, taking dry clean only items to the cleaners, ironing/dryelling (yup, I made up the word) clothes, etc.
So far, I have:
- made a trip to the cobbler: my grey knee high boots have new heels and they have been polished as well. The guy also fixed one of my crossbody bags that was coming apart at the seams near the zipper.
- fixed a white tuxedo shirt: This one had a peculiar gaping problem at the chest. The shirt is the right size, so it wasn't pulling across the chest but more like due to the weird spacing of the buttons, it was gaping when I sit down. I fixed this by using a bit of stich witchery tape between third and fourth buttons. Now, I need to put on and take off this shirt from above my head like a sweater but it was totally worth it!
- made 3 wardrobe hacks that I will reveal in the upcoming weeks as I wear them.
- cleaned my silver jewelry with special cleaning solution.
Still to do:
- I have an appointment with an tailor to fix: one dress, one pair of pants, 2 skirts, and anything else I can think of until the appointment. Yes, apparently, my tailor is so fancy that I need an appointment to see her! Maybe I should call back and ask for pricing to make sure that I can afford her.
- I would like to overdye a pair of jeans. I am still looking for a place that can do this since I am too lazy to do it myself.
Additionally, I am going to be participating in Sveta's challenge for the week of November 4-8. I am also planning to do the capsule wardrobe challenge again this year between October 18-22. (http://fashiondailyinsanity.bl.....lenge.html)
