It seems like I go trough phases where I feel like I have nothing to wear despite the fact that my closet is full of clothes. I am all for changing up my look from time to time, because dispositions, lifestyles, and moods change. Sometimes we simply mature beyond what we once loved. In today’s post, I wanted to share four steps to take if you’re feeling bored with your look.
Out with the old
The first step might be the most painful for some, but lots of us have trouble holding onto old outfits that we don’t wear any longer. It can be genuinely refreshing to take each item out of the wardrobe one by one and to itemize it, splitting them into piles that you wear regularly, that you wear for certain occasions, and ones that haven’t been worn in a long time (or even once). The wardrobe purge can help you clear a lot of space and see the gaps for outfits that you need.
Find new places to look
One of the biggest issues for those bored of their fashion tastes is that we keep looking in the same places, expecting something different. Brands update, but that might not be the change you’re looking for. Instead of stopping by your usual stores, look at the top online boutiques for a fresh change of pace. I personally prefer online shopping because it makes it so much easier to explore so many different brands and designers. Pinterest is also a great tool to pin different pieces you find across the internet and crafting outfits ideas.
Think function
As mentioned, when you purge your wardrobe, you might notice that you’re missing specific outfits, such as a cold weather look, a lazy Sunday look, or something for a night on the town. Think of the different practical needs you have, whether it’s something comfy and casual or something a little edgier. If you have an objective or a particular outfit you’re aiming for, it’s much easier for the right pieces to catch your eye while you’re browsing.
Make a statement
If you want something that really puts the “you” in your outfits, then it’s time to look back to those trusty accessories. A statement accessory is something that can be worn across outfits and is versatile. Again, online boutiques offer some of the most distinct items and you reduce the change of running into someone wearing the exact same thing.
A new look can signify a new you and be the perfect opportunity to draw some heads your way. You don’t have to start entirely from scratch, but it’s a good idea to start fishing for inspiration outside your typical avenues.
