Also, since men’s dress codes not only confuse but stress me, I had to share this 100% easy men’s style guide. It's no secret that I have always struggled with men’s fashion. Last week however, I got saved by the wonderful team at The Black Tux who created this super useful style guide of men’s dress codes that you can share with everyone you know! (let’s be honest, most of them are stupid) but an easy framework like this one definitely helps my strained brain cells when it comes to adorning the opposite sex.

The 6-month throw away rule will stare you in the face with a condescending smirk every time you open your wardrobe and the pressure of dressing with 33 items or less will haunt your dreams. My issue is that, much like a child, I get distracted by everything shiny and eclectic, like THIS , going against the whole purpose of a capsule wardrobe. However, I have found that I very much like to integrate the principles of a capsule wardrobe into my own to make myself feel less guilty when I buy yet another unnecessary pair of jeans. One of the main tenets of a capsule wardrobe is making sure that everything you buy can be built into 3 or more outfits using items you already own.

Personally, I am currently set on these Personally, I am currently set on these CelineShadow sunglasses that have riddled me with profuse deprivation syndrome. It’s not even that I don’t like the sunglasses I already own (in fact I like them very much), it’s just that similar to other humans I am more fascinated by what I can’t have than what I can. It could be that your meals don’t taste the same without a tiramisu to culminate with or that your house doesn’t seem that nice anymore without those curtains you saw in Homebase at the weekend. That being said, there’s no need to despair - I’m sure that in a week’s time we’ll all be lusting after something else because that’s the beauty of wanting what you don’t have - if it’s just a fad (and most times it is) you will forget about it and move on to the next thing.
