5 Piece Wardrobe

I am pretty sick of fast fashion. Trends come and go, style go out, clothes falls into a bad state – all from buying fast fashion at “cheap” prices. I have so many items of clothing it’s ridiculous and yet I still constantly have this feeling of, “I have nothing to wear” and for the most part, find myself going back to only a very select few garments that are tried and true and never fail to put an outfit together. I’d consider those select few items as my staple wardrobe items. My goal now, having established a style, coming to realize which pieces flatter me, what color palette I like, etc, I feel it’s time to buy quality pieces at a higher price (an investment), and to equalize that, buy in lesser quantity.

At the moment I just want a few things here and there (mainly shoes) so my list isn’t so concrete as of yet. The five piece wardrobe is seasonal, so that every season I am allowed another 5 quality pieces to invest in. On my mind right now:

  1. Acne Pistol boots, black
  2. Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo, suede black or black
  3. Giuseppe Zanotti glitter boots
  4. Perfect V-neck Pima Cotton Tee in grey
  5. (not sure yet)

A lot of shoes… typical of me.

Quarter Down

A week has passed and I have not made any unnecessary purchases. This is getting serious. It’s like this… boiling pot of water trying to burst out from under the top. I desperately wanted the Marc by Marc Jacobs moleskine that came out for Barney’s Co-Op 25th anniversary or some such thing. It’s $30… priced significantly higher than a regular moleskine. Now, I did lose my precious red one and have since lost much hope in finding it. Yet, what knocked me into my senses was the $5 shipping. Lmao, I’m one of those people that will refuse to pay for shipping because if the item does not fit… and I return the item, I have still lost out on money with NOTHING to show for it. Anyway, $35 for an item that I can get for about half the price… is a rip-off no matter whose name is on the cover. And then I looked at the moleskine again and the “scribbles” look so careless and are not of any particular design. Much more classic is a plain ol’ moleskine. Ugh, now if only I could find my red one!!

I already know I’m bound to fail this no-buy thing because I plan on purchasing one little thing soon. It’s sort of special, even though it’s used… and small. But I’m very excited about it. I still have about 4 days to think about it… hah!
