The first lesson is that I must choose a neutral color and the obvious color is black, I don't care if it suits me, we European wear a lot of black and for me it's a conforting color. I feel good in black. I'll add some good jackets (I love and it's a piece I wear a lot, but I'll choose colors like black, white, navy, red or army green)&nbsp;because these are the colors I wear the most, I have others that I bought because the were trendy and now I don't like it), simple t-shirts, skinny jeans, black sandals and black booties.</p> <p>I'm testing the concept and I'm feeling great. I feel confortable in my skin, I have not shopped meanwhile (which is liberating) but It will be much easier in the future &nbsp;because&nbsp;I can focus on buying fewer&nbsp;quality pieces that I know I'll wear a lot. It's budgeting friendly!<br />Some will find this boring, but I feel great (for now).</p> <p>Do you want to see some outfits?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
