do you plan your wardrobe?
I really am quite disorganized in many ways, but I'm trying to be better. I normally shop as a I need things and/or if I see something I like I've been grabbing it. Recently, I've actually been trying to predict what I'll need for the winter ahead and I've already got a decent number of well made and affordable casual and work clothes and shoes. Since I'm actually doing it ahead of time, the selection is really good, plus I can afford to wait for deals.
I have pants and shoes done, I need to look at tops next and buy 1-2 new dresses and possibly a new bag. I feel like a dummy that I haven't done this before.
Re: do you plan your wardrobe?
I try to do this, but I get stuck on the well-made and afforadble part. I really need a new bag, a few new pairs of pants and some shirts, oh and a pair of boots and shoes.
I really don't know where to shop that I can find things to actually fit me...
I don't "plan" it really, but I tend to buy things in batches. I was just thinking that I need some new clothes for Fall so I'll probably buy a couple tops. Then whenever I can figure out where to buy a new pair of jeans that's not Old Navy, I'll get new jeans.
I only buy a handful of items a year. Most of my clothes are really old which sucks, I just hate buying clothes.

This is me. I feel like I am really bad at choosing clothing and my wardrobe lacks style. I am very comfortable in some of my older clothes, even though I know they don't look great. I think I need a personal shopper to go with me
Seriously, my wardrobe definitely lacks style!

Decorate This
I generally hate shopping in stores - everything I've bought has been online - except a few things at Target.
I'm trying to do a better job of planning what items I need in my wardrobe in order to maximize what I have. I recently found a list of 50 classic pieces on Pinterest and I'm trying to slowly buy the rest of the "classics" I need.
This is a great idea. I have been trying to do this, but my weight has been really uneven for the past few years (I was pregnant and while I lost my post-baby weight, my body is in a bit different shape.) Needless to say, it's made clothes shopping a hassle.
This is me too, I do 75% of my shopping online. My size doesnt vary much so I dont usually have to try things on, but I only order from websites with free return shipping or actual stores where I can return, just in case. I try to combine free shipping with online sales or specials and coupon codes. I definitely plan out my clothes a season in advance, Ive already bought several things for this fall and winter, just need some new dresses and a new pair of pumps, then I think Im set.
