I like to rotate my clothes. Sort through and see statement pieces that I may have featured a year or two ago but didn’t want to “overexpose” them. If they are still relevant then I set them aside in a possible To Blog pile and see if anything works in with my recent purchases etc.

I’ve rediscovered several items that, after some forced experimentation, I decided were keepers.

I often found myself shopping like “This would look so nice styled in my blog” and it ended up being a piece that I only wore that one time for the pictures on my blog. I didn’t even go out with the outfit, it was just for the picture. Just too crazy! I’m smarter now

I have done my share of splurging and at this point I am realizing if I can just be patient, I can find something similar to what I really want at a great discount!

Now I get a couple packages every week, I’m out of control! I seriously cannot even fit any more clothes in my closet. So I think it’s time for a closet purge because there is no way I wear everything in there.

I go through my closets each season and find ways to make old pieces work for me- maybe I have the sleeves of a top removed or a skirt or dress hemmed to a different length. Let’s add the cobbler or a good shoe repair to the list too! I should have got rid of my favourite boots about 6 years ago but I have managed to take them into shoe repair yearly and they have had a great life full of blogging because of it.

Since I purged a lot of my wardrobe, I have so much more to wear. It sounds strange, but the outfits just keep coming. Otherwise you just drown in clothes. The do your laundry tip is hilarious and true!

I put together my looks with mainly my own clothes but once in a while I need something I don’t already own to freshen up an outfit so I go hunting for these pieces, wear them for shoots, then return then for full refunds… Sometimes I fall in love with the stuff and end up deciding to keep them but I try not to establish any emotional attachments. Just treat them like props. It’s better than wasting my hard earned money, and as the poster says, it will eventually lead to so many problems if you just keep buying clothes.

I still struggle of finding my own personal ‘style’ and being in this blogging world is hard to not be affected by it.
