Everlane cotton poplin shirt dress, 3.1 by Phillip Lim mini ‘pashli’ bag, Isabel Marant heels (these are a cute option and I also love these), Paul Hewitt watch A balanced wardrobe is always founded on the basics, those essential workhorses which never really go out of style. So, whenever I’m looking at making a new wardrobe addition, there’s a few questions that typically come to mind; is this a classic piece? will this work with the rest of my wardrobe? can it do double duty for work and for play? and will I get my cost-per-wear from this purchase?

‘Beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost’. In many ways, much of our lives these last few years have changed. We’ve moved country, started new jobs, gotten engaged, suffered the enormity of losing someone very dear to me, moved house, brought two wonderful animals into our lives, travelled overseas, gotten married, and most recently, celebrated the start of a new year.

As much as I love stepping out of my comfort zone, this year, I’d rather stay true to myself, and watch my style grow with – rather than against – me. I’ve spoken about this often, but in my early twenties my wardrobe was a…
image source; noa noir A new year is like a fresh start in so many ways, and as much as I try to avoid making resolutions, it’s a great opportunity to give your wardrobe a declutter, and begin the year with a clean slate.
