A few months ago, as the year 2015 turned into 2016 in a flash, I decided to organise through my wardrobe and make space for things that I love wearing everyday. It was as I like to call, the Marie Kondo
After all, my personal favourite style at the moment is defined by simplicity, elegance, minimalist, and neutral colours. With the passing of time, I felt that my style have shifted in a new direction since my early 20’s and I comfortably settled into it now because it just felt right. It makes me happy to look and feel the best I can be everyday, and bringing this joy to those who are around me daily.
With that in mind, I decided to select and style the ideal pieces left in my wardrobe to make them timeless and using them to their full potential. I aspire to be able to able to dip in my collection and put together an outfit effortlessly, while at the same time achieving that ultimate minimalist elegance.
I wrote down a list of items that are essential for me to keep and invest in:
- Basic tees in grey, black, and white (great for layering and pairing up with prints/leathers)
- Crisp white boyfriend shirt, slightly oversized
- Black turtleneck soft cashmere jumper
- A well-tailored blazer in navy or black (Balmain creates a beautiful collection for these)
- LBD (little black dress for all occasions)
- A comfortable and flattering pair of ballerina pumps in nude/black
- Skinny black jeans/blue jeans
- Well fitted skirt in print (jazz it up a little)
- A quality pair of nude/black high heels
- 1 medium sized handbag (13″ Macbook size ideally)
- 1 small shoulder bag
- 1 watch
- 1 pair of diamond stud earrings
- Black ankle boots
Voila!
