The start of the year is always a good prompt to reflect on where you’re at in life and make plans to change things you’re not satisfied with. One area of our lives that may seem superficial to reflect on is the state of our wardrobes. And I don’t mean how organised they are and what they look like (although this is helpful so you can find things when you need them). I’m talking about having a wardrobe that serves the purposes of your life. Whether it’s having clothes for all occasions or creating a capsule wardrobe so you have less clothes or acquiring new brands that you love but may not be able to afford.
Fashion Intentions – Some Ideas to Create Your Own
I think everyone should have a fashion intention they can focus on throughout the year.
Some examples are:
Only buy new clothes from Op Shops
No new clothes for the year
Create a collection of designer pieces
Buy investment pieces that will last more than a year
Create a capsule wardrobe
Declutter your wardrobe
Book a one-on-one session with a stylist to develop your style
Do courses or read blogs to discover or evolve your style
Only buy Australian made clothes
Only buy ethically made clothes
Not buying clothes over the price of $100
Set up a fashion splurge account
Work on body confidence and wear bolder pieces that show off your figure
And etc
There are many more intentions you may be able to think of when it comes to your personal wardrobe and fashion choices.
Maybe you may know one or two you might like to focus on during the year.
So how can you make your fashion intention a success for 2018?
To make your fashion intention a success, you need to read the right blogs and interact with these fashionistas, so you can gleam inspiration and motivation to stay on course with your intentions. Here are some fashion blogs I recommend for some of the intentions I listed above.

If you want to own a certain designer piece, why not do a search on Facebook for groups that share their outfits from this brand or have a swap and buy group? I am a part of the Gorman Outfit of the Day group and love seeing everyone’s outfits. One of my intentions this year is to own 1 Gorman dress. I’ve got a few more intentions, but I might share them in another post.
