Choosing Wardrobe That is Nice and Simple to Maintain

Choosing a wardrobe shouldn't be that hard. I saw my friends do it effortlessly all the time. And yet..

Start rant --- I hate my wardrobe. I have too much clothes. I prefer simplicity and don't mind to wear same cloth over and over again everyday or every week. But right now, I have wayyyyy too much clothes than I care to wear. Mom won't let me throw it away either. And she keeps buying me more clothes! What to do? --- Stop rant

Heh, my mom said I'm an entirely different species. I don't like shopping and unlike most people, I feel like I have too much clothes instead of not enough. I have no idea how and why I got this problem. It's not like I'm super rich to have an overflowing wardrobe but my wardrobe is overflowing right now.

So I visited some how-to guides on how to choose a wardrobe. I didn't realize that I've really missed the basic. No wonder my wardrobe is such a nightmare to maintain. Okay so how to choose wardrobe essentials?

First, look at your Lifestyle

• seldom go out
• prefer to hang indoor
• rarely need to change clothes
• Malaysia don't have 4 seasons

Second, what is your Fashion Preferences?

• no ironing
• long black slacks always
• blazer for formal outing
• jacket for casual outing
• smart look
• khakis
• absorbent

Third, what is your Favorite Color?

• rainbows
• any bright color

Lastly, remember the Basic Wardrobe
Tim Gunn's basic wardrobe includes:

1. Basic Black Dress
2. Trench Coat (Note: Beautiful Rain Coat?)
3. Dress Pants (Love them!)
4. Classic Shirt (Looking forward to look for colorful ones!)
5. Jeans (Haha, no.. I don't wear Jeans)
6. Any Occasion Top (Huh?)
7. Skirt (Don't wear any outside)
8. Day Dress
9. Jacket (Love them!)
10. Sweatsuit Alternative (Cool, I don't wear sweatsuit anyway.)

Not exactly Malaysian's wardrobe so some got crossed out. I think this is enough for a guide right now. We'll see how it goes next week.

After that... what do I do with the extra clothes? If I want to donate them, where do I go? Would anyone would even want them?
