Simply..a lockdown wardrobe....

19/7/2020

After the first few weeks of lockdown when I never got out of my gardeining clothes, I had a little online shop and got nearer to a 'capsule wardrobe' than ever before. It's an idea that has always quite appealed to me.

I bought three pairs of chinos and two new T shirts and teamed them up with two summery scarfs which I love. I only wore the necklace once but it made me feel good when I did.

I would have liked two new pairs of coloured sandshoes, but buying shoes online is tricky and returning them even trickier, so I wore my old very faded but comfortable purple ones.

Simple.

Nice.

Clothes are still my fun.

my 'pandemic' outfits have whittled down to just a few tops & either jeans or shorts. I'm going nowhere, except trails to walk, seeing no one, except j. simplicity at its best.

Speaking as one who was once told by a good friend that my personal style was “Rumpled Academic” and who loves to see jewellery on others but forgets to wear it herself, I can only admire and applaud!

That conjures up a nice picture! There are quite a few posts under Simply Stylish...if you feel like browsing.

Yes, clothes are definitely still my fun too. All part of this 'self care' we're hearing about. What a good plan.

Self Care is I find, a very good plan also.

One (at least) for every occasion and with memories of travels to interesting places to boot!

Lockdown wardrobes have been quite a topic recently - a colleague is talking on the radio tomorrow.about her research on what people are doing. It seems as if most are pleasing themselves - which for some means old t-shirts or even pyjamas, but for others is a chance to wear extravagant outfits that are too impractical for normal life. I'm sure you look stylish in all circumstances, Freda - I remember when you gave.me a wardrobe makeover and I'm still following your advice!

I’ve always like the idea of having a capsule wardrobe, but haven’t quite managed it as yet (even after Marie Kondoing!) I do love your necklace Freda - it’s very joy-sparking!

I might have another go at the capsule wardrobe...Joy-sparking is a lovely phrase Judi.
