When I was younger, I had the popular phases: the preppy phase, the 2000s phase, the alternative phase.

Now, most of my time is spent working. My wardrobe has evolved to be:

  • 85% work wear - sheath dresses and tops from Calvin Klein, Reiss, or Hobbs. I'm always on the lookout for a nicely cut, structured wool or trench coat or statement heels.
  • 10% going out wear - jumpsuits, statement trousers, tailored high waisted shorts, statement tops, basic white t shirt, basic black t shirt.
  • 5% work out wear

I've gotten rid of a lot of pieces I thought I'd use. For example, I don't have very casual dresses because I don't have use for them. I used to buy a lot of wedges for days out but I now wear either heels for work, white sneakers for everyday, or running shoes for working out.

I've always been the goth-scene-grunge kid around, getting older, I slowly ditched some of the things that felt juvenile. I didn't wear a spiked bracelet with a band tshirt, I wore a leather harness with leather skirt, for example. I used to be a tattoo artist so work clothes weren't different than regular clothes. I began having some health issues last year so quit my job and started running in the opposite direction with the excuse. Heels and harleys replaced by sneakers, skinny leather pants no more, only baggy light pants,75% cotton with elastic waistbands! Baggy flowy tops, all cotton or linen, all light colors, light, breating fabrics. The difference is day and night. I went to the point of rocking a kimono & a hakama with flip flops everywhere, completed by a couple of huge hoops.

I'm more comfortable than I've ever been and never going back.
