Creating my ultimate wardrobe: Accessories

Hi lovelies,

This is the third post in the series: after lingerie and very basics, please welcome accessories. They are small but impressive part of every wardobe: they can change your whole appearance instantly.

My aim is not to share a lot of luxury items, I rather stay realistic to be able to follow and some of the items still exist in my closet, others are on my wishlist.

Please note what is affordable to me, might not to everyone, I want to educate and do not want to judge you.

Tote bag: can be a leather or faux leather, but if you take my advice try this Longchamp Le Pliage bag- I have it for a few years and it was worst every penny: huge but you can store it floded, even can use it as an extra bag.

Mid-Sized Black Bag: I do suggest to have a work bag- I am budgeting for this Polene one as it is seamlike the perfect for me: mid-size, leather and crossbody…

Bucket bag: I used to own a green one, every I loved its size, I cannot made a great use out of it as the color was not the best to use in my everyday life, so after the Polene one, this is the next.

Black evening bag: I have one from a local designer, but that is the one if you have the budget you can go for more high-end like a classic Chanel flap.

Light summer bag: when you wear lighter colors it is a great otpion to go for a lighter mid or small size bag- mine is also from an other local designer.

Backpack: more sport days it is ideal to have a one, even you can charge it with your loved ones. Kankens are so great , 16 l size backpacks for leisure or city walks too.

Belts: it is a great idea to have a two colored classics belt, like this Kazar one, but my eyes on this Isabel Marant waist belt for a while to wear it with dresses, coats ect.

Leather gloves: also a must have during winter- classy, elegant and keep you warm- try to find a great local option. Best if the color is match with your winter coat or you can not go wrong with a classic black.

Scarf: Twilly is great as a hair, bag accessorie or using it traditionaly arround your neck, a nice silk one elevates your style. Silk scarf for the transitional seasons with demin or lether jacket or with a trench coat, while a thicker wool or cashmere is so great for the winter.

Hats: I thikif you have these 4 you have everything for the whole year.

Sunglasses: find just one perfect for you- I do not think I have to expalin why.

How to have a great wardrobe?

Hi lovelies,

Today post I want to talk about how to update your wardrobe, how to achieve to have a cohesive style on a budget. I was always jealous to a lot of women how chic, femine and beautiful they are and I always looked at myself as a grey mouse: I can not afford it, I cannot do it.

I was totally wrong…

I was stuggled to dress up, when I saw myself in the mirror in my 50 EUR Zara dresses I was pissed off . So I have started to read, to watch and to search for a solution: I have read Anushka Reiss The curated closet book and she teach a lot to me:

1. LESS IS MORE: I do ot need a lot a clothes,they have to be carefully selected and quality.
2. IDENTIFY YOUR OWN STYLE: I do not need to follow trends to look stylish, know what I feel good in is a way more important.
3. DRESS TO MY LIFESTYLE: have several capsule wardrobes according to the daily activities and spend the most on, which I am doing the most.
4. KNOW YOUR COLORS: select a few, which fits to your own personality, you can not look good in everything.
5. ACCESSORIES: having a great bag or jellews can elevate your style.
6. TAILOR: fit your clothes.

So I have started to write my closet inventory and I figure out a few things so far:

1. I hate polyester close to my skin, so I want to get ride off any polyester tops and dresses.
2. My favourite materials are the naturals like silk, linen or wool, but I also love viscose.
3. Oversized cut is cheap looking, do not really flatters me, so I will get ride of most of them.
4. I need to invest in silk scarves, fine jewels and quality leather bags
5. I would love to declutter most of my fast fashion items as I can not make a use of.
6. Upgrading my wardrobe will take a long time so I have to be patient and do not get into the fast fashion trap again.
7. Secondhand is pretty cool, I can find gems on Facebook market place and Vestiaire for a fraction of price.

I might need to start from scratch….
