I’ve been thinking of ways of wearing more of my clothes. Did you know most of us wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time? I have lots of clothes, I’m a bargain hunter, op-shopper and a dress-maker. I fall in love with colours, patterns and textures all the time. Style and price are the two things that pull me back to reality! Only certain styles suit me and I won’t compromise on that and price, well I try to be wise with my money.
So I’m trying to come up with ways of wearing more of my own clothes and I thought of a rainbow as a good starting point. It has seven colours so I can do it for one week. So I’ll start on Monday 26th, wearing RED.
So in case you don’t know the colours of the rainbow are RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO & VIOLET. I need to wear at least one item of clothing that colour. I can also wear my neutrals and I want to not wear just accessories in the colour, like all in black with a red belt for example. If I do that I’m not really challenging myself to wear more of my clothes.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be the hardest as I don’t wear orange or yellow, that said I do have one thing in yellow but orange? I also don’t want to buy any new clothes, that would make the challenge pointless. I am allowing myself to sew something but only if I already have the fabric at home.
I will post what I wear each day and let you know how it goes. Keep blossoming!
