OMG, I HAVE NOTHING I WANT TO WEAR…

Lately, I’ve found myself feeling disenchanted with the contents of my wardrobe. But this weekend it reached an all time low…

Running 10 minutes late already, I was standing in my towel staring blankly inside my closet. I had to pull together every morsel of maturity because what I wanted to do was hurl myself onto the floor and launch into a psychotic fit. I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR, I kept whimpering in pathetic desperation until my husband finally walked over and started pulling things out, ‘What about this?’ He went through tons of stuff. Each item he suggested received an immediate response: too tight, too loose, too itchy, too low, too high, too sheer, too thick, too long, too short…

‘You’re right,’ he finally said. ‘You have nothing to wear.’

Umm… what? Other people aren’t meant to agree! The ‘I have nothing to wear’ dilemma is an age-old problem between a girl and her wardrobe. Of course, there is stuff to wear. It’s just a matter of whether you want to wear any of it. Clearly I don’t. I’m not entirely sure how I’ve reached this point of absolute disenchantment. Maybe it’s a passing phase? But, I’m thinking of making a pile of the things I love (I swear it will be like 10 items) and getting rid of the rest. I’ve done so many closet clear outs over the past year but it still feels like there is too much of what I don’t like. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just massively wardrobely challenged? I’ve started scouring online shops for pieces that would make my life easier when getting dressed – starting with tops. They aren’t anything revolutionary but I’ve always thought that getting your basics right is the first step.
