The Lazy Wardrobe

Last night, I sorted through the clothes in my closet, and thought I might need to seriously revamp my wardrobe. I had two big meetings this week and I couldn't seem to find any suitable business suits. My two favorite business suits are quite old; the other one I even used during my interview to get my current job. With the new year (even if we're already two months into 2010) and the seeming belief that a new year beckons the arrival of a new life is making me want to make some changes most especially with the way I present or dress myself. I am not the most fashion conscious person in the world, and majority of the time, I put comfort over fashion, but with the college t-shirts, old sweats and unsightly stained jeans still hanging in my closet, I think it's about time to make room for new wardrobe.

Could this be another stage of maturity I am going through? Perhaps this process could be considered as a wardrobe detox like taking Acai Detox Xtreme or some sort of wardrobe revival? It would really help put things in perspective in reevaluating who I am. The complacent or more appropriately defined as lazy wardrobe needs to be spruced up with clothes that represent my current state of mind, clothes that truly represent who I am and what I feel, and most of all, a wardrobe that is truly me. There is nothing wrong with complacency, but for me, it has come to a point where dressing myself has become a chore or one might even consider a struggle. I definitely want dressing up to be fun again.

  3. My clothes are all over 10 years old; luckily I work in a place where I really don't have to dress up - it's an anything but short and tees dress code.

  5. kayni, i think you described well my kind of wardrobe. perhaps it's also my work and school environment, where dressing up would already classify one as overdressed. but i'd love to dress up once in a while.
