Fashion blogging and sensible shopping!

I feel the time has finally come to start revamping my wardrobe. For the longest time (almost an year) I’ve refrained from buying any new pieces, except for one or two basics here and there which I needed. When I initially started with fashion blogging, I went into a shopping frenzy, buying things that I thought were needed, only to realize later that they were never really ‘investment pieces’. It took a while to get a hang of the whole remixing of clothes business and contrary to the popular belief that style blogging makes people blow off a lot of money and indulge in frequent retail therapy, it had the opposite effect on me. I learnt to make the best use of my existing clothes, by shopping very little (I’ve even tried my hand at designing and making my own clothes). The fact that I maintain my clothes well, and haven’t really changed in size since college days also helps!Since I had stuffed so many useless pieces into my closet, it rewarded me in the exact same way every time I wanted to dress up in something nice. In-spite of having so many clothes I never found anything appropriate for any occasion. More than half my clothes lay untouched, and the other half felt too boring and repetitive. After many self-imposed shopping bans, ridding my closet of some clothes, sorting the rest and a resolve to repair the damage done, I’ve finally arrived there! I am no longer interested in shopping. For the past two months, I’ve been trying so hard to shop but I don’t seem to find anything interesting. Even if I do, its just an initial rush which dies down in a couple of days.I guess I am truly happy with what I have already, even if it means re-using and re-styling the same old pieces. In fact that’s more challenging and exciting. This pair of trousers is one such piece that has stayed with me for almost four years and can you believe its non branded? (and it still fits like a glove yes! muhahaha!). But of course shopping is something that we girls can never live without, so I’m still on the lookout for something that will catch my eye and make it to my wishlist. Certainly looking forward to adding some exciting new pieces this year! 🙂
