It’s cold outside the past few days, and that means cold weather style! After buying cute sweaters for the honeymoon, I have a decently sized closet to keep warm and look polished. That said, last year around this time I decided I wanted to seriously update my wardrobe with more choices. I figured I’d take inventory of the items that I have now compared to the literal laundry list of items I wanted to add to my closet. Let’s take a look!
- Grey Skinny Jeans – Check! They still bunch a little bit when I wear jeans, but I attribute that to me being petite and most pants go all the way to the arch of my foot.
- Blue Rinse High Rise Jeans – Check! I have two now, one light rinse and one dark rinse.
- White loose-flowing button down or casual blouse – No dice here. I ended up putting the one I already had in the donate pile, so I’m definitely going to need to cash this one out this year.
- 2 Longer cardigans (I have four cute jackets now, I don’t need to buy another) – Done and done! I have a black, grey, and pink long cardigan. They’ve been staples this winter!
- White Sneakers (Sooner Rather than Later) – Better late than never: bought new Adidas right before the honeymoon and they are great!
- Black Sneakers (A luxury at this point) – I have a pair of Black Vans, but they’ve seen better days! I would like to replace these this year.
- Pair of well-fitted joggers – I own three pairs of joggers now. They’re both a bit too big, but it’s a step!
- 2 A-Line Skirts – Did NOT get these. On the docket for this year!
- 1 Pair of Culottes – Not even close. I don’t know if I still want these in my wardrobe, but I’m anticipating another closet overhaul later this year. I’ll address it then.
- 1 Loose White Tee Shirt – Yes!
- 1 Loose Black Tee Shirt – Yes!
- 1 Loose Grey Tee Shirt – No. Dangit!
- 1 Loose Light Blue Shirt – I have a light blue sweater blouse. Does that qualify?
- 1 Loose Pale Pink Shirt – Nope.
- 1 Fitted White Tee Shirt – Yes!
- 1 Fitted Black Tee Shirt – Yes!
- 1 Fitted Grey Tee Shirt – Maybe? I feel like I own a lot of grey. I don’t remember buying one, but I’m 99 percent sure I have this.
- 1 Fitted Light Blue Shirt – Nope.
- 1 Fitted Pale Pink Shirt – Ish? I got a pale pink long sleeve shirt. It’s quite fitted.
- 1 Black Blouse – Nada.
- 1 Pink Blouse – Nope.
- 1 Light Blue Blouse – This stings.
I’m a little bummed! I thought I did a bit better than I really did on this goal. I’m not one to spend money just to spend money, so I don’t want to go buy these items just to say I did this. I really do want to update my closet later this year (I think a good cleansing twice a year is good for the soul); hopefully at the same time I can get this list completed. Maybe a try on of each item in a future post? I love that idea! See you, let’s say… in July.
