Why I'm investing in my wardrobe (for the first time ever)

Read or Comment HereIn a previous life… my world was: fashion.I was a:* wardrobe stylist* mobile boutique owner* personal shopper* and closet cleansing maniacAnd my closet reflected that (in my own way.)But one thing I didn’t focus on at the time was longevity.I bought well but I didn’t invest. I didn’t think about how many years I could take care of a piece. How it would support me long term. I just thought about what matched my style at that moment.And then I met this little silk dress… and everything changed. I’d never felt so good in something. I put it on and was like “woah….” I looked at myself differently. And it got me thinking about investing… in pieces that last longer than a season or one event.It shifted the way I looked at my wardrobe… and left me with an urge to fully invest in it.To stop buying fast fashion that works just for this season and start thinking “like a Parisian.” Like someone who sees wardrobe-building as a lifelong curation, not a constant sport of shopping.So here’s what I did about it:- Want to see the 32 things I recently got rid of?
