I’ve never even worn this but could never imagine getting rid of it

This is the 5th post out of the 30 Posts Challenge. To be honest I forgot a bit about this challenge but now I’m back on track again… For those new to this it’s bascially 30 headlines on the themes fashion, style and my wardrobe and I’m doing the best that I can to create posts under each headline. Click the link above to see all of the headlines in the challenge.

This post I’ve thought a lot about and finally come to the conclusion that I don’t think I own anything that I haven’t worn at least once. Hypothetically I could have a bunch of things laying around unused because often I do see some vintage treasures that I just know I need to have… but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to use it. Maybe it’s too extravagant.. too weird (but in a fun way) or too delicate. But no… it was quite a pleasant surprise to realize that I do use all of my clothes and shoes and if I don’t I usually end up selling it. 

I guess I’m not as attached to the items in my wardrobe as I thought myself to be. Also, there’s limited space and why keep things that are never used, anyway? Do you keep things you never wear (and probably never will wear) or do you get rid of it like me?

    i have a tunic of Louis Vuitton that i never wear because of the tacky color and fabric! so i have to style it perfectly or it will look cheap! Nathalie from the Merrymakers.be gave me the perfect advice! wear it with mint! so i bought myself a mint acne pants and the combination is divine! i have a lot of items that are very hard to style! but i always wait for the perfect moment

    That tunic is genius!! I do have stuff I never wear, unfortunately. Some stuff I’ve gotten rid of, some I can’t see myself getting rid of it because I love it. For example, I have this silky blouse with bell/pirate sleeves in a flowery print that, maybe ridiculous to some people, but I still love it even though I don’t wear it, yikes.
