Having bought so many clothes and yet still not knowing what to wear in the morning makes me think of what the hell is wrong with me... I think i found the answers to some of it... Well, apart that my favorite pieces are apparently worn out due to frequent spin in the washing machine, here are the mistakes I made:
1. I don't buy enough black while that is the safest color to go for. That is actually my favorite color, and I didn't even notice it. I picked black most of the time, and by the time I realize this, I feel I don't have enough clothes even with 4 full hanging rails in my other room that we have converted into our wardrobe. I need more black in all sorts of style. They'll look different if I know how to pair em with various scarves and bottoms.
2. I am a cheapskate. Well, nothing wrong with that. Everyone loves bargain, who could deny that. But there is a fine line between frugality and being smart. I have 4 tops that I tot were chic from Pasar Baru in Jakarta that I have never worn (each time I tried it on, i feel the cutting is a bit off and it accentuates the wrong part of my body, in other words - they made me look fat). Here's the best part - in total, they cost more than a shirt that I wore almost weekly from Zara. So there you go. I should have just bought another Zara top and think twice everytime I got enticed with chic ness or whatever.
3. I eat too much and all my favorite clothes are now all fit or showing my bulges. Oh well, the mistake is really buying sizes that are a tad too small hahaha.. Next time I'll go for M instead of S. Well it has it's pros and cons, but for now, let's stick with a size looser with some air for the skin to breathe.
4. Not buying enough of the same style when I already fall in love with it. Oh wait a minute, this is not entirely my fault. The style that I love doesn't come in more colors, that's more like it. I always buy more when I know it really suits me. Don't believe me? I have almost 8 cotton blazer coats from Uniqlo and so far, my only mistake was buying the salmon and white ones.. the rest, my saviours of all time :)
5. Last but not least - I don't organize my clothes enough. I can't find the right pair whenever I need them. And I don't even know I already have the same piece and bought it twice. So really, getting organize is the key to it all. Jun, jgn malas!
