building a wardrobe 101

Hell, I’m tired of writing way too thoughtful blogs. My brain needs a rest. So, this blog will only be about shopping. This is your guide to build your wardrobe for winter. 

Clothes are important. It is the way you express yourself. It is the thing that makes you feel happy when you look at yourself in the mirror. It makes you feel excited for the season to arrive. But if you are someone who struggles each season to find things to wear even though your closet hardly closes, you need to buy savior pieces. I use the capsule wardrobe method. I am a basic clothes lover myself, so it is not hard for me to adapt to it. I just buy plain clothes with certain colors and add some accessories which enriches the outfit. Here is how to achieve it;

1. always buy the basic one

If  I’ve learned anything after all those countless shoppings, it is that buying the most preferred one or the most plain one is the safest. I am not recommending you to be the most basic person in the world but this may be very useful while shopping for luxury clothes. For instance every one knows that they are creating clothes or accessories that you can buy luxury and the ones that you can’t because it would be stupid. It’s how you can buy a jacket for 5 thousand dollars but not give that money to a single piece of clothing. The pieces that can go with most of your outfits is the thing that deserves that money. So while buying that piece, going with the basic one is safe. Let's say you are getting a luxury shoe. There is the leopard one that is extremely cute but also one with white or black. Get the white or black. No matter what you can fit it with an outfit, but the leopard one, no. 

2. buy special accessories 

So in the previous point I told you to buy basic things. But it is not enough. You have to have a couple pieces that can make a 0 to a 100. For example, let's imagine that I wore a coat and inside I have a gray sweater and under black jeans. It is quite a boring outfit right? Well if i wear my burgundy scarf with gold earrings and a chic necklace, the outfit is saved. Everyone should have a simple accessory that can  save their look. 

3. find what suits you

Finding your color palette, your neck type (in clothes), and your jewelry color is very important. While finding out you have to make sure they suit your skin color, your eyes, and your undertone. For instance, I have green eyes and wearing khaki highlights my eyes, but not bright green. It makes me look like Shrek. 

4. find the perfect jeans  

I hate jean shopping. If someone came up to me and offered me the best jeans that fit me for eternity but asked for 10 years of my life I would accept it in a second. Yes, I am that desperate. But finding the pants that make you look good and fit you the best is extremely crucial and hard. Color matters too. Some colors make some people look pale and some colors do not go well with many different colors. Some pants’ materials are extremely uncomfortable too. Some need to be tailored. It is impossible to find easily. And trying them all… God I hate it. I pray every second that I am not a person who shops for jeans whenever I am not. But when I am, there's nothing left but to pray…
