I am terrible at posting links, so if someone can help there that would be great, but I will mention a couple of bloggers who have given me some inspiration.
Both actually for less buying. I am continuing my very slow wardrobe editing and I need repeated reminders for focus, versatility, non- imaginary.
Most of it relates to work wardrobe because that gets over- expanded as I feel “ justified “, but in general having things that aren’t getting enough wears for the space they occupy.
So:
Jamie- Lee of Mademoiselle with her work wardrobe posts and videos. Sort of paradoxically, because she can be a walking advertisement for Everlane or other brands. For me it’s that she shows a lot of neutral basics( many of which I couldn’t actually wear in that exact iteration) and combinations that help me think about keeping my “ best” most loved gray sweaters, black pants etc and remixing, and seeing which things depart from the looks I want.
Next is Alyssa Beltempo who does examples of creating outfits based on an inspirational photo. These are much like the YLF challenges. I like how she reminds one to think about the outfit vibe as a whole and not whether she has the exact pieces. Angie also gives “ substitution” ideas. So this is another way to get inspiration re: wardrobe boredom, or allowing some “ imaginary lifestyle “ outfits from what I already have, or stopping to evaluate a photo that speaks to me - YLF, stock, catalog, Pinterest- and see if there is something about it that I want to “ look like” and may already have things that work better for me but in a new combination.
