I'm definitely on the no weekend clothes rule - all my skirts I can wear to work as well (except for a faux vinyl one) and my evening look is just a few cut shirts that I'm rotating between for gothy looks and a ton of fishnets and jewelry. Because of my feet problem I no longer have high heels or weekend shoes, I just wear the same shoes all the time.<br />I find it great to diy old stuff or use your diys for other things in the future. Will have to try some of your tips!Maria Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472843818105697984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374940737527468599.post-24371482692733692482017-08-19T04:57:03.606-07:002017-08-19T04:57:03.606-07:00I also want the spikey bra!(have been wanting one ...I also want the spikey bra!(have been wanting one for ages!) I could totally justify that as a grocery getting outfit! My kids daycare and school already give me enough of the side eye when i go to events.

I do agree with you about the cost and quality thing. I am starting to pay more attention to the quality thing.....I would like to move towards a smaller wardrobe that consists of nicely made pieces with longevity and versatility.

I stick to cotton or cotton blends because I get overheated in synthetics.

During my last purge I got rid of a blue skirt I never even wore. I'd held onto it for too long, feeling guilty and finally just donated it. I have nothing that will match...

Since DIYing is at the top of my own list, and its what I do 9/10, it comes with its own set of rules I try and follow to prevent being overwhelmed with fabric and patterns... and by extension, tons of handmade clothes.<br /><br />One thing I would add to the list is black. Keep it black, or at the most have minor color accents but nothing that overwhelms the black itself. I don't do color, and there are times I try to convince myself that I need more color in my life... I wear the item once maybe twice and never see it again. It has to be black or its doomed to the storage bin, and inevitably the chopping block. <br /><br />On that note, stop letting people influence purchases... I had at one point 4 dresses that I just couldn't even wear to the event they were purchased for, all because my in-laws didn't want me to wear all black.Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.com
