RE: My undefined wardrobe challenge
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Well, first of all, I love your bravura style! I hope you keep it alive and flourishing and it is not dimmed by trying to fit yourself into a small narrow space. I have really enjoyed reading your posts and learning from your experiments (I think to myself, "I would never [add those buttons/put bobbles there/play with colours that way]", followed by, "why not?").
I love Audrey Coyne, as you know, but sometimes I long to scream at her, "Put on a red dress, for goodness' sake!" Anything bright and fun and just because! I know it is not her personal style, so it is about me, not her, but while I like the idea of a curated wardrobe and all the benefits (well-being, finances, environment), I am also thrilled by the just-do-it approach as well.
I did, last year, go through my wardrobe and discovered that it is already curated! I have my everyday wear, a smart outfit in a cover for weddings and interviews, another for funerals and court appearances, coats, jackets, shoes, bags, jewellery (about six pieces), lots of layers to meet hot, cold and wet weather. All by accident.
But .... dun-de-dun-dun ... I have made a dramatic change to my appearance, just two days ago actually ... so ... we may be on the same journey ... hahaha :D
Ohhhh blushing!!!! Such a wonderful and flattering comment. You really know what to write to get my face like a tomato (and I mean a very ripe tomato, not such a green things like the ones growing in our garden :-DDD)
And no fear, the only narrow space is my wardrobe and honestly its not narrow, ist too full ... My motivation to plan a bit more is that I so often like the single garments when I look at them, but then I do not feel good while wearing. I know this has a lot do with my mindset, but the garment choice can enhance or better it. I have some outfits which I really love and many more which are more practical/boring.... As I have perhaps written too often, I still want to dare more fashionwise:-D
But more than anything your comment made me extremely curious about your dramatic appearance change: you do know that you are torturing me?
(Oh and yes to the red dress for Audrey Coyne, I even would opt for a neon pink one :-D)
Something completely different, have you made something from/with Tailornova? Or did you got feedback on the YouTube comment? I still read about others projects on the Tailornova facebook group and so far they often have problems with shoulders and sleeves (too narrow sleeves and to high armholes).
😁 I am still getting used to it myself. I have been talking about it for two years and now I have done it and I don't know yet how I feel about it (other than: is it me)? But I will reveal all soon!
Neon pink - she would look beautiful in that!
I understand completely about why you want to plan your wardrobe more; it does enhance how you feel, and also, I really like the "tidy" feeling - everything in order. I imagine that I have some control over something hahaha, as if we ever do. Inspired by you, I have started preparing a post for Monday with my journey, such as it is (I have bought one or two things this morning in the sales as well).
I read the other day that Tailornova had changed something and that had affected the fit of the sleeve at the shoulder, but that they had now righted it. I haven't tried anything yet myself, but it is useful to know in advance that it may be difficult around the sleeves and armholes.
Meanwhile, you may enjoy this (I really like her). The problems with the armholes on the top come in about 17:30 minutes:
This was in July, so maybe things have improved?
