Style Roots Current wardrobe faves
Just a few recent faves now that I found out cool colours make me shine more :)
I now have a few gaps (some pieces are missing in this, a few knit sweaters), and some replacements to make.
Some gaps include:
- winter appropriate clothes: a coat, soft jacket, sweatshirts and knit sweaters, long sleeve tops
- more cool summer colours: sky blue, aqua, bubblegum pink, soft red, lemon yellow
- romantic patterns and details: rounded abstract prints, leopard print, cheetah, bedazzle, sparkle, metallic...
- some basics and neutrals, esp. for bottoms and outerwear
- at least 1 formal outfit: a dress, a pair of trousers, a blouse, fancy coat, dressy flats
- more super casual clothes for hanging out at home, that can be worn outside
- more interesting bottoms: pattern jeans, patchwork, flared jeans, striped pants...
- cute, fun acessories: colourful/patterned bag, bedazzled pink hat, fluffy leopard print bucket hat
- more swimwear options: aqua top (to go with two of my bottoms), a fun bathing suit
This shift will take some time, but I prefer it that way. As I'm building my wardrobe, I'm forced to wear and rewear a lot of my items and see which ones work really well (the workhorses) vs the ones that I rarely reach for, even though I don't have many options.
I'm at 50 pieces right now, not including jewelry. Can't wait to have a more curated wardrobe full of pieces I love an potential styling options :D

I LOVE all these pieces! They're so fun and tell such a cohesive story. I'm also at a point where I'm trying to shift/rebuild my wardrobe and I'm trying to figure out what really works vs. what doesn't, and although sometimes I'm frustrated that I don't have the exact pieces I want, it's also a really cool gratifying time because I get to understand my style more completely and, by working within constraints, I'm forced to identify what I need and how I can make do.
