CLOSET CLEAN OUT: WHAT GOES AND WHAT COMES IN!
Normally Easter period means to me going through my closet and do a big closet clean out to decide what to toss from the previous seasons. Obviously to make space for new summer clothes!
It can be difficult to let go of pretty things that once made our heart flutter.. Am I right?!
Let’s be realistic, this is not always an exciting task. There are better ways of spending a spring day off than being overwhelmed by our closet clean out. First step for a ‘successful operation’? Having clear in mind what we want to be wearing the coming season. Especially what we don’t want to be wearing any longer!
The main thing I will be tossing this season is skinny jeans! As a jeans obsessed person as I am – I wear jeans 7 days a week! – denim is literally my life partner. At the moment I am all about high waisted, straight and wide fits like these white denim culottes from Opus. I’ve been wearing culottes since they first came out and it was one of those love-at-first-sight trend which became part of my personal style, especially over the warm months.
My current passion for loose shapes extends to the tops too! Besides a big passion for statement t-shirts, I am going to make space in my closet for light coloured off and cold shoulders, bell sleeves, ruffles and loose shirts like this one, also from Opus, I am wearing today. Specifically this is very versatile and I wear it both boat neck and off shoulder. It’s the perfect piece to pack for summer holidays!
Finally, the verdict of my seasonal closet clean out is going to be all about ‘out’ the tight and skinny shapes to make room for soft and loose pieces. I just find them much more chic and flattering.
What about you? I am curious to hear what’s going to be your favourite summer style.. Leave me your comments!

I’m also a totally denim obsessive, never thought I’d grow tired of Skinnies but I must admit I’m definitely favouring flared, boyfriend or straight leg at the mo! x

I have to clean out my closet as well! But I don’t know if I can give up skinny jeans just yet.

I totally agree with you! I feel so weird wearing skinny jeans now…I’ve always been obsessed with high waisted jeans, but I am in loooove with the large crop trend! I got a white pair of jeans similar to yours from the Parisian designer Rouje, I love it!
