Following up my previous advice to wear your stuff until you hate it, I've been trying different methods of making myself wear seldom used items.
I started with jewelry, sorting it all out and separating jewelry I liked and couldn't seem to give up but never wore.
I put some of said items in a bowl front and center in my closet. (The bowl is a recent thrift find, btw.)
And I did indeed wear this blue-beaded necklace. For about 10 minutes. A strand broke, scattering dozens of little beads.
See how easy that was?
Wear it. Break it. Problem solved.
How do you make yourself wear things?
haha- I don't ever make myself wear anything but I guess the universe spoke to you!
ReplyDeleteBut now there's the problem of what do do with the blue beads. Maybe embellish a hat with them to wear with those lovely red shoes?
ReplyDeleteHmm...I basically don't. I wear like the same three things all the time, but my closet is expoding. My fashion challenges are a sad state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteI make myself wear old things, but I have to decide to do it the night before and hang the piece in question on my dresser to make myself build an outfit around it the next day. I can't be creative in a hurry. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, how I wish I could also have a closets like these... Love the way you organized your things...:)
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find a way to do the same without much success. I like the idea of setting a few things apart so they grab my attention - only if I weren't so lazy .....
ReplyDeleteI never make myself wear anything. I tend to wear a boring ''uniform'' everyday (jeans/capris, fitted T&camisole, with jacket/short sweater) and to make it interesting I have to be inspired. I really want to start wearing my real jewelry more though. I have so much more costume than real, so odds are one of the costume pieces is bound to be perfect. I have been trying to find ways to mix the real in with the costume lately (a la Coco Chanel) with limited success. I showed a friend of mine one of my neglected pieces and she said that she would wear it everyday for a month to get it back in the action. Laying it out to wear might be an easier way to go though!
ReplyDeleteI seem to wear the same things over and over too
