Wear What’s There was a year long challenge to see if it’s possible to dress in a confidence boosting manner and with a nod to style using solely what was already in my wardrobe in 2018.

I’m no fashionista and don’t have a wardrobe full of high quality designer clothes. But I was a self confessed shopaholic – a habit driven by my need to be appropriately dressed, reasonably stylish and in no way ‘dressing like a mum’. But the shopaholic within regularly came to blows with my growing conscience about how destructive consumerism is.

So, I decided to ‘go big or go home’ and go cold turkey to see what happened.

In order to commit to the challenge, I went public and posted my outfits of the day on  Instagram over the whole year.

The whole experience totally changed my view of fast fashion and has so far transformed the way I shop. This year, I am going another year of no clothes shopping. This time with the exception that I can buy make up and have given myself the leeway of 5 items. So far, so good. You can pop on over to Insta if you fancy seeing what my wardrobe looked like in 2018 and to see snippets of how it is now, a year and a half later.
