When it comes to finding a new style most people have visions of credit card statements that look not entirely dissimilar to phone numbers, it can be terrifying. Which is why I think most people put it off and hope it will happen magically if they watch enough TV programs about Fashion Fixing and turning from Plain Jane to Princess, searching for the slice of inspiration that will take them from Humdrum to Style queen, the envy of all those they meet. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
It is difficult and expensive to buy an entirely new wardrobe, especially if you want to feel connected to it. I've known people in the past who spent a fortune and then kept nearly all the clothes, 'For Best' as they didn't associate the new clothes and style with themselves. Instead of using their clothes as an interchangeable Capsule wardrobe they kept to, maybe 10 tried and tested outfits, cutting their options to the bare minimum. Conversely I have clients who can change their entire wardrobe by the purchase of one correctly chosen piece and some new accessories. By being prepared to see the potential of the clothes you already own your options become limitless.
Sometimes it helps to have new eyes look at your clothes as they will not be restrained by the things you know to be true. So before you go shopping next time take a moment to look at your wardrobe and see if you can't rediscover an old gem. Saving you money and time!
