the other day i was reading a rather thought provoking article “the master cleanse” by annette tapert in the wall street journal…the top caption caught my attention…
If you lost your entire wardrobe, how would you rebuild it? Annette Tapert ponders the minimalist’s ultimate fantasy with designers and style arbiters
we have all had the occasional blurting of “i have nothing to wear” while staring into a closet jam packed with clothes…ok…most of us have…if we are really honest…but for me that changed…when i started taking a serious look at my closet…and getting rid of the items that i knew i didn’t wear…and most likely wouldn’t wear…that is when you start looking at your clothes differently…loving the pieces that are in your closet…
and then there are the few people that i’ve met…when they hear what it is i do…have this vision that hiring me is going to be some real life episode of “what not to wear”…where i will come in…throw every piece of clothing out that they own…(for the record…that has never happened…and most likely won’t…)
this article however made me think about…a “what if” situation…what if..for whatever reason…my clothes were all gone? how would i start rebuilding my clothing? would i buy a lot of what i had before? would i stick to a more classic approach? what would be the first ten pieces that i buy?
this article has several designers answering some of these very questions…
do you think that you would shop differently to replace your current items?
