I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was growing up. I sewed a lot of my own clothes and spent my first year after high school studying a Certificate of Fashion where we sketched designs, drew up our own patterns and constructed them, I loved fashion!
Although my more recent past has strayed from the fashion industry, I’ve continued to follow the trends of how we put our wardrobes together and how we use the clothes we have. I talk to working Mums about consciously creating a wardrobe they love.
Of course the underlying theme of a great wardrobe is having less and loving what you have (a great theory to apply to almost everything!). When you consciously create a collection, you know it all goes together, so you don’t need to try it on to see if it works. You can grab your outfit, get dressed and get on with your day.
The more of our life that we can plan beforehand, like what we’re going to wear, and then just do on autopilot frees us up to deal with all the other stuff that life throws at us.

I was recently gifted my Grandmothers wedding dress from 4 April 1940 (see pic below of Grandma standing on a box beside my Grandpa).
I asked my followers where they store their wedding dress. Claire said "someone has perhaps used my 3/4 length white leather and tulle wedding dress which was sent to an op shop some 10yrs ago when it turned 21. Coming of age and a new chapter."
I love the idea of a celebration to let go of something you no longer need.
Have you thrown a party to honour something you have let go? …
