Love # 1!
I'm not that good at honing someone else's style direction.
But I can relate to editing and being careful what add back.
Not buying is a good approach , and next best is, 3 words: DON'T CUT TAGS!
Meaning, you're trying to create a new look, but also may be in a bit of limbo as to what you really want. Sometimes then I find I'll " need" to bring something home or order online-- size sells out or sales fever or can't see in person, whatever-- and I may think it works but may not be using my highest " bar" for judgement. Or for me, I'll be really busy at work and just don't have time to sort it out. Then in a week I'll do some tryons and reflect. My biggest pitfall is items that are " good"- good neckline, or sleeves, or something--but UPON REFLECTION lack that super- " comfortable( meaning feel good wearing in every respect) , versatile,
want to wear every day quality that I am learning is the key to good items for me.
Since I DO have lot of things I love, I was able to take a little time to create a group of outfits that fit that bill and use them to keep reminding myself see, if it can be as good or better than THIS , then that's what will work.
If not, then it's likely an item will get worn once or twice but then take a backseat.
So I used a big holding zone to start, because I still didn't trust whether item A of item B were better, and wanted to put some through their paces and see what pattern emerged- was comfort? Confidence? Color?
