Category 1: Elegant & Stylish

I would like to think of my wardrobe as a way to put across who I am and what I stand for. This being said, I have decided I would like to express elegancy and style with a fashionable twist. This means my wardrobe can be more or less divided in two types of garments:


1.Elegant & stylish

2.Fashionable

Although, luckily these categories sometimes overlap….

Last week I decided to invest in categorie 1.

As I have come to the respectable age of 27, it’s time to take elegancy seriously and invest in qualitative pieces. The time of ‘fast (cheap!) fashion only’ has gone along with my teenage years. The occasional H&M piece on the side as my shopping budget is not limitless, obviously.

But as I go through my closet I realize some pieces have been there for a while and it’s mostly the slightly more expensive, decent ones. So, if you want to make a case to splurge on clothes (let’s say, for your husband/ boyfriend, pure hypothetically?) pull out the ‘investment’ argument.

Luckily, there was a stock sale last week of ‘By Malene Birger’. So the ‘sales’ argument combined with the ‘investment’ argument inevitably led to several purchases …

My scores: a clean white shirt and a silk blouse, timeless indeed!
