and this.....
Things I buy but dont wear or get enough wear out of;
earrings
heeled boots
patterned dresses
winter coats-this one is due to the fact that for the last 5 years I have driven to work,I used to love buying and wearing a new winter coat!
Things I always wear;
jeans
vest tops
t-shirts
ballet flats
Havaianas
boyfriend cardigans
All Saints drape cardigans
long scarves
big bags
so I was wondering if I should buy the best of those items and give up on the things I love but dont wear?I think plainer items suit me rather than frilly floaty things and my good male shopping friend (yes they exist!)says I look better in bright colours,although I prefer neutrals generally-all my dresses are quite loud though-leopard prints,bold B+W prints,pink and purple etc.I love Lauren Conrads look-she wears quite basic items accessorised well with gorgeous bags and big sunnies and beautiful hair,these photos some up the look I like.
I have in the past worn a quite 'rock chick' look,vintage looks,but the one look that I always like is the well groomed feminine look like LC wears and I love my bags/sunnies/jeans so what do you think?

Its a really good idea and I think you'd feel great wearing a nicer version of your basics if your not spending cash on unwearable bits. I am a sucker for a party frock though despite not having the occasion all that often! x
The doll on fashion
Interesting thoughts. And yes, I think it's a good idea as well; luxury basics are great things to wear.
I suspect it may be age-related, since I did something quite similar not very long ago!
I'd like to think I wear little dresses with opaques and boots or bare legs but I tend not to as I have to get changed when I get to work anyway and go by car so whats the point?My legs are never brown enough to do the bare leg thing either!
I have always been mad on fashion but less so over the last 5-6 years as I get older and no longer work in a fashion environment,where I work noone would bat an eye if I turned up in a tracksuit!Its just hard to get your head round purposefully NOT buying certain items iyswim?
I think it's a good idea too. If you know you're going to wear things a lot it's worth buying the best you can. It's quite nice to have a change and wear something a bit unexpected every now and then too though I think!
