Recycling My Own Wardrobe

After I read the article about Asos.com creating a platform for its customers to trade their wardrobes, I have been thinking about what I have in my wardrobe that I can wear this summer. As a matter of fact I have items that I wear season after season. It is good to invest in clothes that are timeless and good quality so I can get its value worth by wearing it every season, simply by mixing and matching to create different looks that's relevant at the time.

There are a couple of things that I can recycle from my wardrobe for this summer.

1. Oversized t-shirts, jumpers, and boyfriend shirts are popular in London at the moment. I have this printed t-shirt from my own label 6 years ago that I can wear this summer with leggings.



2. I bought this Vanessa Bruno blazer a couple of years ago and I can still wear it this season, either with skinny jeans, denim skirt, or a printed dress. A classic blazer is a staple piece to have in the wardrobe for every season. I want to buy a black one as well!



3. The pleated front trousers are still big this summer. So I can recycle this look from last summer with the shoes I bought in March.



This is a way for me to accumulate a good wardrobe when I need to budget. Every season I would invest in a couple of signature pieces, then to utlilise my existing wardrobe by mixing it together with new items to create looks for each season!
