Cleaning Out My Closet

What's this? A jumble sale in my bedroom.. and someone's selling a cat?

Not quite. After a gin or two one night I decided to have a mad wardrobe sort-out.

I like to think that I am a clothes lover, but amongst all my stuff I found a Diane von Furstenberg top screwed up in a ball, a Lanvin ♥ H&M dress the cat had been sleeping on, and lots of gorgeous pieces that I'd been "meaning to mend" for a long time. Not giving them the respect they deserve, really.

Over the coming weeks there will be an influx on eBay, plus I will be taking a few bags full to the next Stitched Up Swap Shop at the Chorlton Big Green Festival. I am clinging onto a few things, however, that I think I will maybe regret giving away: these leather dungarees, which I hope to wake up one morning and suddenly be able to pull off Miroslava Duma-style, are staying with me.

These are H&M samples which, unsurprisingly, never went to retail.

Sadly for you lot the cat is not up for swapping. Sorry!

  5. I adore your Miroslava Duma overall look, it looks fabulous! I just sorted out my clothes yesterday although I didn't get rid of so much, I think I have an emotional attachment to my clothes ;) <3

  8. Damn it, I had my eye on the cat! I try to have a wardrobe rule of, one in one out - it doesn't always work out quite like that though.

  9. Oh I do like a wardrobe clearout! Its like finding buried treasure! Plus I find it helps me streamline my style- generally what I want to keep are the kind of shapes and colours I like. Meaning hopefully I won't buy so much tat in the future?!
    Good luck with it

  10. When the wardrobe is groaning, it is time to have a good sort out... it's amazing what you can find in the deep dark depths! Anything like me it's quite a few dodgy fashion disasters!
