I really love colour and texture too, but find it a bit hard to put into practice! Part of that is not seeing it around me every day. On the weekend I took your advice from a few posts ago and went browsing in some more expensive shops. It was alarming to me to that even though I’m drawn to colour and pattern in theory, that’s not what I pick up. Perhaps I’d be happy if everyone around me was wearing pattern and colour and I was head to toe grey. It’s hard to know if breaking habit is more important than easy comfort. Today I have struck a good balance – a hand made grey dress with a colourful pattern that is cheerful without screaming. Baby steps. I love your mood board – so fun.

Yes, I know about Alabama Chanin. Love their stuff. Haven’t made any of it though. Maybe I should work on a project this summer.

Your pinterest board is great! I imagine that you know about Alabama Chanin, but in case you don’t, you may want to check her out.

Thanks Malin, I’m finding it really helpful to think about my wardrobe in this way.

Thanks for this post. I love the notion of architecting my wardrobe and need all the help I can get. For 8.5 of the last ten years I worked in a place where I wore their logo tee shirt and jeans. During that time my body changed and of course fashion changed and I am now almost sixty (another story) nod the short version is that I am struggling still to find and make clothes that I love. But it is a fun journey to be on and I love seeing what others are doing.
