This week has started off as an ok week. I’m still umming and arring over the future of my life!!
So flicking through the tv channels and Office Space is on. Oh my god its a typlical office.
All I am going to say is watch it!! or buy it if you havent got it.
Office Space buy it now.
I had one of those rare moments at the weekend. I decided to sort my wardrobe out. I say wardobe, when what I mean is wardrobe, hall closet, chest of drawers and any other space that I can squeeze some clothes into.
The main reason for my cleanse was because I didn’t have anything to wear.
Well 19 vest tops, 13 cardigans, 6 jumpers, 16 tops, 17 skirts, 6 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of trouses, 7 pairs of shorts, 4 gym bottms, 2, gym jumpers, 3, gym tops, 3 pairs of tracksuit bottoms, 4, pj bottoms, 2 pj tops, 1 football top, 16 coats, 3 legginga and 46 dresses later I realised I had plenty to wear.
That is 171 items of clothing and looks somthing like this
And this
Having established that I had plenty to wear, but not a lot that I actually wanted to wear, I went through my piles of clothes. I ruthlessly got rid of everything that I had not worn (and still had labels in them), was not going to wear again and had holes in. This turned out to be 5 bin bags of unwanted clothes.
What I ended up with was this
And this
That is 7 vest tops, 5 cardigans, 0 jumpers, 5 tops, 2 skirts, 2 pairs of jeans, 0 pairs of trousers, 2 pairs of shorts, 2 gym bottms, 1, gym jumpers, 2, gym tops, 2 pairs of tracksuit bottoms, 1, pj bottoms, 1 pj tops, 1 football top, 11 coats, 1 leggings and 19 dresses.
Could have probaly got rid of a bit more but it is much better.
I know what clothes I have and what I need to replace. Note how I said replace and not buy more of.
It really is a wonderful feeling not needing to buy random items of clothing. All I need to do is replace my skinny jeans and my blazer jacket.
Next I need to tackle my shoes!?!
icklekaskas.co.uk has arrived!
As much as I love to read all the fashion blogs, many of them leave me feeling a little depressed. I can’t afford all the lovely clothes they parade in front of me, which led me to start looking elsewhere.
I started spending far to much money on the fashion / celebrity magazines, looking for my fix! This failed so I went back online looking for the equivalent of a weekly magazine online. Don’t get me wrong they are there, but don’t excatly have the feel I was looking for. Look magazine online doesn’t have the same feel as the magazine and so I find myself leaving dissapointed. asos is great for my browse fix but if I want to see what the other shops are selling I have to go looking.
So this in short is what has left me to write my own blog about fashion, clothes, brands and anything else that takes my fancy.
I should say that I very rarely go shopping on the high street, for a couple of reaons, I hate queues, I hate it when I find something I like and then can’t find my size and I hate the changing rooms and I always over spend! Shopping online is so much nicer. I don’t over spend as I always check what I have added to basket and get rid of a few items. Lastly I love the feeling I get when I have a parcel delivered to my door. The new problem I have with shopping online is that it’s so easy!
This blog will be dedicated to shopping online and I will give you my opinion on the best places to shop and the expeirence I have had from purchase to delivery.
I will only be buying the affordable and when I say affordable I mean on average one item will not cost more than £30 because in my head most clothes are not worth that much more, unless (and yes there is an exception) it’s one of those items that you look at everyday and stop yourself from buying it and then leave it to late to discover its gone.
Lastly enjoy and if you find any sites worth taking a look at along the way let me know.
