RENSKE BUYS ONLY CLOTHING WITH HANGER APPEAL AND THAT IS…

…the death of every wardrobe

Yesterday I saw the light. Yesterday I realized that I only buy clothing with hanger appeal. You know: clothing that looks absolutely amazing on the hanger because you can immediately see how great and sublime you will shine in it. As a result, you just grab it off the rack without thinking twice, hatseflats no one stops me.

Clothing without hanger appeal, I supposedly leave to the left. We call a (so it seems) simple blue sweater, a neat striped blouse, or a black dress. I tell you: there's a good chance I walk past it rolling my eyes. Like: listen, I'm not going to spend money on this boring shit. Then no one notices that I have something new, and that is beneath my dignity. But that has proven to be a mega serious mistake. Because with this setup/setting, I now have a wardrobe that is very difficult to get any movement out of. Unless you understand what I mean. No? You don't understand what I mean? MY GOD I really have to explain everything here. But because it's you: I have no basic pieces hanging in my closet. Pieces that are the ‘glue’ of your wardrobe. A simple luxury wool sweater? A nice black top? A pair of fine chic socks? A decent simple black bra? A regular simple jeans? A simple white T-shirt? No way. Renske doesn't have that. No.

And that's why I've decided that in the new year I will try on a boring blouse more often. In the new year, I will dash to (let's say a side street) All Saints and COS, where I will challenge myself to try on the things I would normally just walk past. Both stores have the most amazing items in their collection, but… you only discover that when you try them on. Only then do you discover the unique fit, the beautiful collar, and the cool slit on the side of the blouse. And besides the fact that you can combine these kinds of items with a thousand and one things, you also look incredibly chic in luxury simple items. Which means you finally get a wardrobe that you can use every day of the week, and not just on Saturday night. That's what I say. Bam! No thanks!
