Today is the start of a massive wardrobe clear out for me (she says, sat typing on her blog instead of doing what she actually should – the clear out). It’s been long overdue and as I have much of the day free today, I thought that I best go ahead and do it. It’s going to be an arduous task but as each of the items in my wardrobe are at least triple hung, the rail is starting to bend and I’m running out of shelf and draw (and loft!) space, I know it cannot be put off any longer!
It’s time for me to majorly downsize and start afresh but there are some items of clothing that I shan’t be getting rid of, including this here outfit.
I bought these high waisted denim shorts only a couple of months ago from Primark. It’s been years since I bought denim from Primark but after trying on these I was pleasantly surprised and since purchasing I have been wearing them loads. This fit isn’t perfect on me but I think this is more due to my body shape as opposed to the cut, as I have a small waist and larger bottom but it’s nothing that a good old belt can’t solve. So I’ve teamed them with this brown chunky vintage waist belt that I love.
On the top half, another basic, yet wardrobe staple: The tank top, also purchased from Primark. I have loads of these and they happen to be multi purpose tops for me, whether it’s day to day, for bed or for the gym, I couldn’t go without my black tank tops. So I’ll be keeping those.
The shall is a fairly new-ish purchase. It’s by Glamorous but I actually purchased it from TUK (I think it’s called) in The Northern Quarter for just £10 on sale. I love it because it looks so cute thrown with jeans and a vest and instantly livens up an outfit. So I’ll be keeping key pieces like this, that are unique and add a bit of something to an otherwise plain outfit. Unless of course I’ve had it forever and its time in my wardrobe is done.
Finally my Underground wedge creepers. Obviously I’ll be keeping these as they are my wedge of choice when it comes to comfort and they have served me well over the past three years of ownership. That’s right, three years and they are still going strong. They were definitely a good investment. Some may say three years is too long and it’s time to get red (and I would agree with most things) but no, na ah, not going to happen. Theses babies are here to stay.
Anyway, enough rambling from me. Time for me to begin my massive clear out. Wish me luck!

Thanks you! I’m so glad I did it, even though at the time it was such a chore. I can actually find what I’m looking for now.

Your hair is amazing! You look so stunning. I had a huge wardrobe clear out a while ago but I think I’m overdue. I never get rid of staples like denim or tank tops though, they just get used time and time again!

Thank you India!
I often try to have regular clear outs but this time I was a lot more brutal and tried to get rid of as many things as possible. There were things I’d been holding on to an not even wearing. It was hard work but I feel much better for it now. I can actually get to things and find the clothes I want to wear. =D

Love this outfit! I always struggle to find demin that fits me too (hips disproportionately bigger than waist, arggghh), but may check out Primark for this summer! xx Sophie/ http://www.prettyandpolished.co.uk
Thank you Sophie. Yes, it can be such a nightmare can’t it. I get away with this most of the time with belts.
