Re: How to wardrobe?

[(Anonymous)]

Figure out your seasonal colour. I know this might sound flakey, like lol that's that thing my aunt did in the 80s. But... it's true. It is so, so true. I look like the corpse bride in cream, but if I wear pure white, it instantly livens me up. TBH I'm not sure if I'm True Winter or Deep Winter but I know enough to wear the colours I look good in. (Remember: not everyone may neatly fit into a seasonal colour category. It's also NOT true that darker skin tones = winter, b/c the 80s were still pretty racist at times. It's more dependant on cool vs warm undertones.)

Figure out your body type, what the rules are for that. But don't adhere too religiously to it; and remember that if something doesn't fit, the clothes are usually to blame. What Not To Wear is great, but it also has some issues. Later on, you might want to break some of those rules for fun! (Also, guys totally have body types too, just not as dramatic/obvious as girls, and I wish there was more info on this.)

If you're trying stuff on and nothing seems to fit and everything's awful and you just can't deal, stop. Go shopping some other day.

Op shops/thrift stores/secondhand stores are amazing. Sometimes it can be difficult or time consuming, but you can also find some great stuff there. 90% of my wardrobe is from op shops. Pro tip: Figure out where all the rich people live and go visit their op shops. That's the way you find expensive and well-made clothing for $5.

The Into Mind blog is great! Also, a serious capsule wardrobe may not work for everyone, but it's great to start thinking about what stuff you really want to wear, and what's just taking up space.

Dress for the climate and occasion. Some things are formal, some things are informal. Some fabrics are great for summer, others will leave you a sweaty mess.

Pinterest is great for creating a 'mood board' and refining your style.

Seconding all of this.

Especially finding your 'season' and body type, which sounds so, so 80's but it's actually really helpful. Especially if you're just starting out with fashion. It can be trial and error process though!

Seconding HARD the Into Mind blog. It's brilliant.

Good luck, OP. :)

Thirding this. Saved me endless time, effort and money. Also I don't look like someone who's just stepped off a twenty-hour flight any more.
