Why is it that although the closet is so packed with clothes that it is hard to close, I often feel I have nothing to wear? Most likely, I haven't taken the time to see what goes with what and have fallen behind in the latest styles. So to gain inspiration and understand the new proportions and how to accessorize current fashions, I usually buy the September issues of fashion magazines, especially Vogue. They are so thick and heavy this month of the year. I then thumb through them and tear out anything that I think will work for me, what I am drawn to and what may work with what I already have. Assembling all the pages, I look for common themes... colour, shapes, materials. This year for example I notice that tweeds and browns are big, as well as classic leather accessories, and that works for me. Once I feel I have a pulse on what is in style, I am able to go through my wardrobe and assemble some outfits and take note of what I might need to buy that will prove to be the most useful.
Not everyone is into fashion, but I know that when I feel I look put together, I feel better. So for me it is something that I enjoy doing and something that increases my sense of well being.
