50 for 50 Project: Week 4

Sunset Goddess 50 for 50 Projects, Fashion Projects, Week 4

Week 4 of my 50 for 50 PROJECT is finished and I am halfway done! Woohoo! I am still amazed that at this point, I still have a couple of pieces that I haven’t worn even once and that I still have new outfit combinations from the 50 pieces of clothes for this project.  This just goes to show that you can really do A LOT from just 50 items in your closet—so imagine the possibilities if you whittle down your closet to just 100 or 150 pieces of clothes that you really, really love and would want to wear again and again…Think of the amount of closet space that will be freed up and the freedom from mindless shopping.

As I said before, my pencil skirts are really my no-brainer, no-fail office closet staple.  It’s the number one item in my closet from which I base the rest of my work outfit. In other words, my pencil skirts are really my work uniform.  Topped with blazers or cardigans, shirts or blouses, and of course my favorite belts, and I’m all set to go.  May look high maintenance and complicated at first but is actually easy and low maintenance—exactly like me 🙂 ha ha.

 

That said, for week 4, I also turned to the leggings and colored denim pants in my closet and proved that they can work for the office (and yes, even a sequin top too!).
Stay fabulous! Cheers!

  1. I would have to agree with you that pencil skirts are one of the most versatile piece of clothing that one can own. I used to have a lot when I was still working- ages ago… But nowadays I have skirt of all kinds and just one black pencil skirt. Still, for a full time mom/driver/tutor like me, my black skirt gets worn a lot, usually with a plain tight tee and flats.

    I love chambray button-downs, too.

  3. Hello, blondie! Your 50 for 50 Project inspired me to whittle my wardrobe down to the quality “I will love them forever” pieces vs. the “I bought this just because it costs $10 and not because I love it” pieces. Less is more! I realize I still have a lot of outfit inspirations to play around with. Thanks, dear!

  4. Congrats! I’m guessing it’s getting easier for you now to live with only 50 pairs of clothing. Plus I agree that pencil skirts talaga are so versatile and perfect for the office. =)

    Thank you for your well wishes! I’m still a little scared though since I will starting to rebuild my career again from scratch. Hay! The sacrifices you have to make for family. =)

    • Thanks Tin! Yup, it was harder to choose the 50 pieces than to come up with the outfit combinations actually 🙂

      I wish you all the best in Singapore. Here’s to new and fresh beginnings for you and your family!
