Knee deep in wardrobe angst

Iso faceriser.jpgI've had my eye on the fashion magazines and trend websites for quite a while, taking notes and planning what I want to add to my wardrobe this season but it seems like all this mental preparation was for nothing.

Winter has taken me completely by surprise, I suddenly find myself sifting through my dozen-odd coats and none of them will do anymore. I can't find any socks and my skirts all feel the wrong shape and length. I'm suffering from a severe case of wardrobe angst...

I've reverted to my teenage self when faced with my open cupboards, whinging tantrums and a good dash of foot-stomping have become part of my morning routine.

My winter clothes, stashed away sometime in April have been quietly minding their own business at the top of my wardrobe while fashion marches on. Fast forward to a month ago and my old favourites no longer cut the mustard. The knee length tweed skirt I wore constantly two years ago is on the brink of going to the charity shop and my once-cherished berets feel a little out of date.

No matter how individual your personal style is being affected by passing trends is near impossible, and all in all rather desirable. Rather than swaying elegantly like a bullrush in the breeze I currently feel like I'm caught in the middle of a trend tug o' war!

Am I alone in this wardrobe angst or are you also feeling similar levels of fashion blues?

I agree, i've found that lately i've just been wearing skinnyish jeans with flannel shirts all the time.

I have an issue that all my clothes are currently clean but unfolded in my living room... sigh I need to do that at some point.

Yes I'm in a bit of a rut too N, I think it's the beginning of a style change and Angel, I share your pain!

I was just thinking this exact thing while looking at my closet this morning. I hate all my shirts. While I once dressed in vintage glamour, all I want to wear right now are jeans and a button down.

I'm so with you Jael! Vintage glam just feels a bit archaic and museum-y. There's no way I'm chucking out all my old clothes but I need a seriosu wardrobe rethink!

If you feel you dont like anything in your wardrobe, try picking a colour (helps if its a trendy one e.g. tomato red for A/W 08) and stick to that colour when you shop.
Buy the odd accessory in your chosen colour and make sure what you puchase goes with what you already have.
You'll feel more confident about your wardrobe as your clothes will have a fresher look.
