make it mine

It's the middle of the summer and I'm already wishing that fall were closer. This happens to me every season, for example once it is fall I will wish that it is winter. But I can't help but love fall/winter clothes more. To me it is so much more creative than summer weather but I love wearing coats, blazer, leather boots and thick scarves. During the summertime I'm usually too lazy to put together a decent outfit due to the heat. What really made me miss the colder weather were these photos:

winter staples according to people in the fashion industry: dark colors, statement jacket, faux fur, and tons of layers.
which brings me to....

things that are missing in my closet:


I, like most people, am going through that phase that we will go through at least once a year. The I-hate-everything-in-my-closet phase. I've gone through so many styles that about half of the clothes I have I don't wear. This fall I am sticking to my new list of items to purchase which consist of:

• Faux fur coats
• Sneaker wedges
• Leather boots
• Colorful sneakers for casual days
• Leather gloves
• More scarves, preferably with bold colors
• Oxfords of various colors
• Leather pants/leggings
• Oversized clutches
• Military-inspired parkas
  
• and, once again, blazers

I feel like I'm at this point where I finally understand what I like and don't like. Usually I just try out a certain trend or style and then get sick of it but now I'm focusing on more timeless pieces so that I don't have to re-building my wardrobe.

I'm also thinking about starting up a shop where I can finally get rid of some things that have been sitting in my closet. About two ago I shoved as much clothes that I don't wear as I could into this huge box that has been sitting in my room and everytime I see it I get this urge to sell it all on a blog.
