Notes on getting dressed / 06
Practical thoughts on using what you own, shopping with intention, and keeping a wardrobe working for real life.
Before adding something new, pull out the pieces you reach for most. Notice the fit, colors, and combinations they have in common. That is a useful starting point for a closet edit and a much clearer shopping list.
Choose a favorite jacket, trouser, or shoe and make three different outfits around it. Change the layers and proportions before deciding you need another version of the same item.
Separate pieces to resell, donate, repair, or pass along. A simple destination for each item makes a wardrobe refresh easier to finish and keeps useful clothing in circulation.
