Rewear day 17

My Diane Von Furstenberg slinky silk dress worn usually for very special occasions without strap tops underneath - but it was just too cold not too. As I can only dry clean this - I nearly gave up the bet at this point but I hate losing.



Rewear day 18
You might be wondering Polka Dots? Talia? And you would be right as usually I am impartial to the trend. I have worn this dress 4 times in 3 years but I can't get rid of it because sometimes it is just what is needed for the occasion - a kind of smart, a bit funky occasion.

 Rewear day 19
I am sleeveless in Winter! But dont worry - my cashmere cardigan is just behind me. This is a Fever boutique dress - hand me down from my mum. I love it and wear it all the time usually with a white silk shirt underneath (when it is not in the wash).

Rewear - getting to the dresses section of my wardrobe...

Rewear day 13

Luckily for me this is my favourite winter purchase - which I coincidentally bought at House of Beth. An Armani cardigan/jacket/poncho type item with cowgirl tassels draped diagonally and made of a few different types of blues - what could possibly be warmer. And the arms are fleece! Armani think of everything!

Rewear day 14

This is a nearly sheer, silver, glittery party dress which though I would never wear for work, looks pretty winter wonderland so at least it is winteryish- especially with my Anna Karenina headband. 

Rewear day 15

This is a purple/maroon/black velvet dress which I usually wear with high heels and a load of necklaces out on the town but I tried to make it somewhat suitable with my long sleeve underneath look. 

Rewear day 16

Nothing I can do with this lovely All Saints number from a couple of years ago other than embrace it. I have worn it probably 3 times at most and wearing it today makes me remember that I love it. 

REWEAR - STILL ON TOPS AND JUMPERS

Rewear Day 12

Definitely one of my top 3 items. My black Biba shirt with the awesome collar which you cant quite see here bought from Mary Portas' living and giving in Primrose Hill. My second favourite shop after House of Beth.

Rewear Day 11

A present from my very good friend and business partner Sarah. Beyond cool from Beyond retro crop top and bought to wear with my non charity shop purchase this year - my Karl Lagerfield leather. This takes out two items that were hanging next to each other (bypassing the rewear rules)

Rewear Day 10 

My vintage light floral jacket with shoulder pads from my favourite Hospice shop. Usually only appropriate for summer when you aren't trying to win a 'wear all your clothes left to right' bet.

Rewear Day 9 

Love this all (faux) fur gillet from one of Marylebone's charity shops even though the boyfriend asked why I was dressed like a Viking. I wore it with my woollen smart dress and lots of necklaces. I was warm all day and have pledged to wear it more than just to firework's night (which is why I bought it two years ago). 

Rewear day 6, 7 and 8 

Rewear day 8 

Instagram is amazing in every way - except for showing the lace detail on this absolutely gorgeous DKNY high neck, short sleeve vintage lace top which was a hand me down from my mum. I haven't worn it in at least three years so thanks Rewear!! More black coming up...


Rewear day 7 

Completely inappropriate work wear. You can't tell from the picture but this thinner than thin black cotton top has a racer back (so no bra if you're me) and black chains which hold in all the cold and are freezing against your skin. Nonetheless it is a really cool glamour rock top which I claim I wear all the time (in the summer)!



Rewear day 6

My favourite shirt - a gold massively oversized shirt from the North London Hospice of course. I obviously wear it as a dress with winter thick tights. Check out Sarah's cow in the background. Luckily I didn't have a smart meeting but for fun times/work times in the living room it is perfect.

REWEAR days 4 and 5

Day 4
Luckily for me I am at the white shirts are of my wardrobe - this cost me £2.75 from the Local Hospice Charity shop and I love it because I look like a Chef (which I am most certainly not but can pretend to be now) 

Day 5 

Ahhh my preloved Betty Jackson from the one and only Living and Giving in Primrose Hill. I wish I had endless white shirts but I am edging into the black section of my wardrobe. (I am wearing it with a red wool skirt which Boyfriend found in his house)

REWEAR 
I recently moved to a new flat and am for the first time sharing my closet (and room) with my boyfriend. As I was unpacking my clothes and hanging them all up in order of shirts, skirts and dresses, the boyfriend exclaimed he had "never seen any of them". I was horrified! I went through all the clothes and argued I wear them all the time, I then went through and explained where I had worn each item. 

Me: "I wore this to that special night in Rome! AND to that dinner a few months ago!" 

Him: "When did you buy it?"

Me: "Two years ago..."

Him: "wearing it twice in two years does not count as wearing it all the time"

Maybe he had a point but I love all my clothes and even if I haven't worn that dress for a while I know there will be an occasion at some point in the future where I will wear it, love it and nothing else will do - wont I? Or maybe it will sit in my cupboard for another two years waiting for that 'perfect' event. I started questioning why I was saving my clothes especially as I dont actually believe in keeping things for special occasion. So I have made a decision: To wear all my clothes hanging in my wardrobe from left to right. 

Day one: My fake furry jacket I bought at 15 from a boutique in Covent Garden. I haven't worn in it a few years but have now rediscovered why I love it! So far not only am I rewearing my clothes, I am rediscovering why I should wear them more! 

Day two: One of my favourite work shirts I bought from Zara before I went ethical a couple of years ago. I had no problem rocking up to work in this. 

Day three: So today was a little inappropriate - or very inappropriate. This white backless, braless holterneck that looks initially like a sheet (the boyfriend says) but then turns into a 'top' wonderful for a beach club. Not for a rainy day in Watford Junction.... 

What will tomorrow be like?
