Preparing for a Clothes Revamp

September 15, 2008 — casual wear, clothes, H&M, office wear

It took me only one (1) hour to decide that I needed to say “goodbye, thank you for your dedicated service” to approximately 35 shirts (mix of both casual and office clothes). I wanted to create some space in the two closets I use — one dedicated to weekend wear, another for office wear. Sadly, letting go of clothes means rendering a lot of hangers jobless.

I have this habit of deciding every yearend what color to buy for the coming year. Unfortunately, I was not able to do this over the past two years due to time constraints, or shall I say due to all the activities happening before the New Year crossover.

So which ones were spared from my wrath?

Office Wear

Casual Wear

Analysis:

1. I have a lot of blue so I should avoid buying such color until yearend. I hope H&M doesn’t have much of this color; otherwise, I will be tempted to buy again.

2. I only have one pink shirt. I should buy one or two more.

3. I should go for fewer shirts with horizontal stripes. They make me look wide. Only exception would be if they are thin stripes or if the color combination is nice.

4. I should buy more shirts without collar, preferably white, green, orange with good prints.

5. I should further classify my casual wear on whether they are better off worn with shorts or jeans.

6. I need to look for more plain colors for my office wear.

Quite a nerdy approach but it works for me!
