For many people fashion is a form of expression, it shows what music you listen to or what your interests are. When we open our wardrobe in the morning we ask ourselves what we want to be today. Majority of the time when a woman yells "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR, FUUUU" she just can't find anything that fits how she wants to appear that day. Or perhaps she can't find anything she looks nice or feels comfortable in.
Most of the time when I'm getting ready I have a picture in my head of how I want to look and how I want people to perceive me. Other days I just grab whatever matches because I'm late for college and who cares if my arse looks big? I've recently bagged up all the things in my wardrobe that I no longer love and I'm starting to develop a brand new wardrobe.
Occasionally I would come across an old top that still fits and look gorgeous but I can't stand the associations it brings. As soon as I see them I think of my old baby baby days, oh God I was so happy to open my wardrobe and no longer have a constant reminder of that awful stage. I'm currently 18 years old (19 in May) which means I've developed from a teenager into a woman, I don't want to wear tutus or skull print jeans any more.
You may hate your clothes simply because your dress sense has developed beyond your current wardrobe. If you want to express yourself through fashion you need the right clothes. If you don't have the wardrobe that matches your identity you will start to resent it, it's just trapping you in the past.
I developed but other people might simply change, they discover new sources of inspiration and grow bored of their old identity. It's perfectly normal and it doesn't mean you're fake, change is a part of life and we need to move on occasionally. People change inside and outside, personalities develop and bodies change.
Age is another reason to consider because what seemed suitable when you was 17 might not be now you're 27 with children and a husband. A new stage in your life should bring a new wardrobe you're proud to wear and show off.
If you're ready to embrace change and create a new wardrobe for yourself keep tuned.

Thanks for the thought provoking post and the great links.
I'm actually considering doing the 333 challenge now. Could be pretty fun, it's just a bit tricky with English weather and it's unpredictability!
I love clothes, and I never think I have nothing to wear bacuase I have pretty much all the clothes I've been given/brought in the last decade to choose from. However I am starting to think that maybe you can have too much of a good thing =P I have a wardrobe and 4 drawers full of stuff now... opsies!
I have has some favorite things for so long that I'm embarrassed to wear them. They still fit and they are in great condition--but everyone changes clothing so often, it feels weird to wear something so old!
@ You're welcome :) I was considering it myself but I'm far too greedy with clothes to take it seriously. 33? Fuck that *scrolls through etsy*
I live in England too, Spring is the worst for unpredictable weather urgh. LOL how much woman?! Do a clear out!
@ Hexotica, I always wonder if people notice my jumper is like three years old and what they think. Hahah like clothes have an out of date notice on them.
I must admit I do hate my wardrobe but being alternatively minded and having to rely on places like Evans and Simply Be for clothes is rather limiting and means I'm stuck in mostly jeans and t-shirts. I like browsing Etsy and I do find nice stuff but at the moment I can't justify paying like £50 for a skirt or whatever. *sigh*
i dont hate my wardrobe but i miss the things i had when i was size s before i went to xl and back to s XD damn, i should have kept my things.
Oh I'm 38 and I have a few clothes from when I was 15 that I still can wear and do. I promoted your lovely blog at my place with an award. Feel free to do what you like with it. Hugs /Therese
