Dear Readers,
I've completed two weeks and a couple of days of dressing with my chosen 33 fashion items.
The biggest surprise is that I'm not suffering from feeling like I don't have enough clothes. That used to be a big theme song of my life. No matter how much I shopped, it was never enough and never ending.
Thank Goddess for that old feeling being removed from my heart! This is a really big milestone for me!
OK. Now, onto some Week 2 report & learnings.
My First & Foremost Learning is that I put on weight around my waist, and despite wanting to don my beige belted skirt for work, I could not fit into it. Sadly the 2 blouses I had selected could not be matched to the skirt, leaving me with 2 less outfits for work!
So, I'm learning that for this project, I can't just assume I'll lose my belly fat... Every single piece has to fit me comfortably for the body I inhabit RIGHT NOW. No more future dressing myself!
Over the weekend, I went over to my fashion office to bring back a black belted skirt that fits me to switch out the too-small beige skirt.
My 2nd Learning is that 4 jewelry sets were not enough to meet my accessories needs. Partly, this IS one of my personality issues.
If I went for real simplicity and chose only 1 metal color for all my outfits, eg Light Gold Only or Chrome Silver or Pewter Only, then having my 3 Levels of Refinement would have been covered fully.
Dailywear / Feminine and Elegant / Dressy and Dramatic. These are the most simplified categories every woman needs.
This season, I had light gold, chrome silver, and silver and pearls. Three different metal colors!
Partly my problem was that my favorite daily bag is a Balenciaga Le City bag white in leather with chrome silver grommets. And during the Summer, I was testing out my Zodiac based system with pearls for Pisces styling.
I think Light gold has been my preferred choice so far though, if I want to dress by the seasons. As it is Autumn in Seoul, right now.
But if I want fo dress aligned to my Moon Goddess Hekate, it would be silver or pewter. So, that's something to think through.
I have planned on switching out 8 items mid-way. So, I'll do a verification & plan accordingly. I'll also do my 3 Complete Outfits properly too.
My 3rd Learning is that my hairstyle and makeup routine really needs to be more consistent. I took some selfies for other days and the ones I looked awful in were when my hair wasn't coiffed better, or I was wearing glasses with no eyebrow definition or lash curling.
I'm attaching the outfits from Week 2 below.
