Hi everyone,
Do you have a sense of style and clear expression of your identity and tastes in your clothing? I really struggle to form a clear style and I end up feeling scruffy instead of purposefully put together. I've been looking at capsule wardrobes to see if I can fix this and find a bit of fashion sense. Curious if anyone else struggles with this? It doesn't help that I have to go into shops and feel everything, try the fit etc and can't just shop online like a lot of people do these days.
This has stemmed from me wanting to make a good impression in my new job, which has a bit more of a formal dress code than my last one.
I'm practical when choosing what to wear. What matters to me is that my clothes are clean and don't smell.
I don't care about brands or the shops where I buy clothes.
I think this attitude comes as a reaction to people in my past. I have a cousin who is obsessed about brand names and stores. For her everything has to be an exclusive brand from a luxury store. Then, my late father was very unhygienic, he could go for weeks or even months wearing the same clothes every day. The smell was indescribable.
I just wear what ever. Although I have a system of rotation for shirts, underwear, trousers, socks. Where the cleaned clothes go into the back of the queue. A first in first out system.
