It’s better to be a trendsetter than a follower- experiment! - JOSIE LIM.

My full wardrobe is located at home in Iloilo, and due to such I am limited to checking the wardrobe I have here in Quezon City.

So now, when I opened my cabinet…. Taran! I am very obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my closet. I want everything organized, so I have lots of clothing organizers and I make sure that every piece of clothing is folded or hanged well.

Too bad I don’t have my digital camera with me right now, so I can’t show the pictures… Boo hoo.

My wardrobe contains mostly retro, vintage and classic outfits. I have a thing for dresses and skirts – a symbol of my kikay-ness. And adding to my love for retro stuff are colorful clothes. The range of my clothing color is highly varied; there is no concentration on one color alone. I love being colorful and combining/mixing them; whether monochromatic, analogous or complementary. I don’t have a particular favorite color, but I dislike brown – you’ll never find it in my wardrobe. I’m lucky to have a skin color wherein bright clothes like neon pink or dark colors like royal violet will look good on me. Haha.

Most of my dresses are printed and colorful, only a few are plain. My skirts are mostly those preppy plaid types. I have the basic, classic tops – basic white top, plain black polo shirts and turtlenecks.

Then I also noticed I have a lot of vests, scarves and jackets that I can use to mix and match, or to layer my clothes. I usually wear these as cover ups, since I’m quite conservative. I’m fond of mixing and matching – they give an illusion that you have a lot of clothes, when in fact, you have only a few. It’s also a very creative thing to do.

I believe my wardrobe is timeless. No matter what era, the basics I own will be fashionable. The mixing and matching will be varied, of course, according to the trend and season.

If I had to add something to my wardrobe it’s… A LITTLE BLACK DRESS! How come I don’t have one? If I have to subtract something, it’s this:

I mean, how come I’m wearing brown! Brown is not me. Really not me.

Tantararan! *Drum roll*

And my style philosophy is…………….

It’s better to be a trendsetter than a follower - experiment!

Experiment! A true fashionable person takes risks. There are a lot of risks, but then you never know unless you try. It’s fun to mix and match, and enjoy the challenge of fashion.

XOXO, JOSIE.
