"Lizzie McGuire, you are an outfit repeater!" - this line has stayed with me since my childhood and for a long-time I tried to live like this, never wanting to be seen in the same EXACT outfit more than once. You know unless I wore an outfit at home one day and no-one saw it, so it was wasted.. A few months ago, I wrote a little piece all about why I felt like a bad fashion blogger as I couldn't have access to new clothes constantly (read it here) and I felt as if my content wasn't going to be relevant if I didn't have the next best thing. Whilst this may be kind of true, in the sense that we all like to see the newest pieces for that season or different looks to add our own twist onto when scrolling through blogs/intagram/youtube {however you like to get your content); I realised that content is about more than just one aspect. I never actually wear the same outfit for a different blog post, but what's the harm in wearing it more than once in everyday life, even for the 'gram with a small tweak? So I; Hannah Louise Ryan, am embracing being an outfit repeater for these reasons! There are some outfits that I absolutely love, I am obsessed with how they look together and love to change up little subtle details. Maybe adding a different accessory, wearing a top a different way to how I did before or adding a different shoe. Who said even though we love and adore an outfit, we can't wear it twice?! I've been making a conscious effort to only buy pieces and keep pieces in my wardrobe that I absolutely love. I used to be that person, who would hoard things in their wardrobe as "you never know I might wear it in a few months" but now I'm that person who adores pretty much everything and knows that even on the days where I have nothing to wear I will most definitely have an outfit as my go-to. I'm also making a conscious effort to buy less, as less is more - I don't want to buy unnecessary purchases that look alright on me but I couldn't wear on an everyday occasion. I'm not afraid to be an outfit repeater anymore as pretty much every outfit I wear now I love, I'm finding my own style that is constantly evolving and I no longer want to be part of the throw-away society of wearing something once for it to sit in the back of my wardrobe for months and eventually get thrown out (meaning, donated). |
