FRENCH WARDROBE/ MY 5 PIECES
02:54 - 30/12/2010, all, wardrobe

As I told you guys earlier, I want to stick to the 5 Piece French Wardrobe clothing diet. Here’s the 5 pieces I want to get (apart from basics) from January to June.

  1. Alexander Wang Natasha leopard pumps
  2. Ann Sophie Back zip jacket
  3. Celine Boston or Cabas bag
  4. -
  5. -

These are my three most wanted items at the moment (they can ofcourse always change, but a good list probably doesn’t change much). I think it’s good to keep some empty space left for some extra’s, so I left number four and five blank. Those will for sure get filled up by shoes later…

I already got myself the Ann Sophie Back zip jacket, which will probably arrive tomorrow as I may believe the email I just got from my friends over at UPS. The picture is from Asos (though I didn’t get it there, since it was sold out in my size) but doesn’t do the jacket any justice.

I will make a list with basics to start with the French Wardrobe thingy later, so you can maybe use it and I can too. Now who’s with me?

WISHLIST/ PERFECT LBD
12:46 - 27/12/2010, all, wishlist

I can’t really wish for a lot right after Christmas, but I would love to see this gorgeous Rag & Bone hat and that perfect little black dress from Acne hanging/laying in my closet.

I’m strongly thinking about sticking to a French wardrobe secret called the ’5 Piece French Wardrobe’ from January on. It’s something that a lot of you might have already heard of before, but I’m going to explain anyway. The idea is to buy just 5 new (on trend) items each season. Since there’s just two seasons in fashion, that’s about 10 pieces a year. Now this may seem very hard and highly impossible to do, but basics don’t count and I would only recommend to do this when you’re already having a nice basic wardrobe.

I think the key is to only buy stuff you really really want, so you won’t get tired of them very easily. You have to make your own rules, depending on your budget. My rules:

  1. Basics, like that Acne dress don’t count.
  2. Shoes do count, cause I kinda have an expensive taste in shoes.
  3. Accessories don’t count, but that Rag & Bone hat would, since it’s over 100 euro’s.
  4. Underwear and socks don’t count.
  5. The rest does…

I will keep you up to date.
