what I wore – week 5
Taking a photo of my daily outfit has really made me work my wardrobe! I am taking more effort over what I wear, trying out some different accessories, and paying more attention to what is in the cupboard. Yes, I do have a lot of clothes. I acknowledge that. And yes, I’ve made a large proportion of them myself. And others have been in the wardrobe for years. I have a fair number of hand-me-downs, and a fair number of clothes bought at substantial discount. I’m finding this an interesting exercise!
Details of each day’s outfit are in my flickr stream on the individual photos.
It’s nice seeing how you love colour, texture, shape etc. I am not great at clothes- probably because I haven’t been great at looking at/ after me- I think I am getting better at that, and when I get to sewing for me- well, that will be cool- cause I am hoping to find my colour, texture, style…can it all be linen, cotton and dark?! Your clothes seem pretty diverse to me, I like that!
I had a textile expert collegue who was hit by a car and killed on her last day of long service leave overseas. I had always admired her style, she made most of her own clothes and always looked fantastic. Since her sudden demise I have made a concious effort with my wardrobe dressing well even if I am staying home for the day. Simple and stylish, colour co-ordinated….no more old holey t shirts, if they are only suitable for the paddock, then take a shovel and plant them in the paddock. I am impressed that you are observing through the camera as this does give a different perspective to the mirror.Well done.
