So according to the brainy statisticians, we only wear 20 percent of our wardrobes 80 percentof the time. No way, I thought, I have got rid of the clothes I don’t like so don’t wear and all I’m left with are items that I love and wear all the time. So to be organised, I catalogued my clothes, so that I can see exactly what I have and hence resist the urge to keep acquiring new things. In the midst of doing that, also thought I’d highlight the things I live in all the time and what a shock!!!!!. I have over 100 items of clothing yet I only ever really wear about 20 of them all the time. Wowsers!!! So those pesky statisticians were right and I really need to stop buying clothes. Well I have stopped but the items highlighted in yellow are those that I covet to finalise my perfect wardrobe. If I had done this little exercise prior to finalising the 30before30 list, I would have included ‘wear all clothes in wardrobe all the time’, but given that I didn’t, just gonna have to do it without it being part of the challenge. This is no way going to evolve into a style ‘look what I wear everyday’ blog, so I won’t be taking pictures, but I will endeavour to be more adventurous with my clothes and wear them more often cos I do have a pretty amazers set of clothes. It’s just that I never seem to have anywhere nice enough to wear my ‘nice clothes’ to, but just going to have to start finding places. I will also start tallying each time I wear an item and see if we can get more blues and I’m able to disprove the statisticians.
Items in blue are those I wear all the time, green are those I haven’t worn yet and yellow are items I want to acquire.
