CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL.

Closet Confidential is a tag that I watched a long time ago on YouTube, and I wanted to replicate it as a blog post. I'm massively into fashion, not necessarily a trend follower, but I love to dress up and make myself comfortable in what I'm wearing all of the time. Admittedly, we all have our off days where I just want to wear tracksuit bottoms, but recently I've been making sure I always dress well. Onto the tag..

1. What is the oldest item in your wardrobe?
The oldest item in my wardrobe is probably a vintage denim shirt that my dad gave me ages ago. I unpicked the stitches to remove the sleeves so it's much more worn in and fits me a lot better now. I don't wear it a lot, but I can't bare to throw it away.

2. What is the newest item in your wardrobe?
I recently picked up a midi dress from ASOS - it's plain black, with a split in each side at the bottom. It's so lovely and lightweight, perfect for Spring/Summer. I'm thinking of pairing it with a statement necklace and heeled boots for an evening look, or long necklaces and sandals for a more casual daytime look.

3. What is the most expensive item?
I'm definitely not much of a splurger when it comes to clothing - the most expensive item in my wardrobe is a dress that cost around £40 for my end of year ball in my second year of university. I bought it from eBay however it was originally sold for around £70 in Topshop.

4. What is the most affordable item, that you wear a lot?
I'm a lover of basics, and I wear them a lot. I buy the majority of them from ASDA George or Matalan. I love the jeggings from Matalan, they look like skinny jeans rather than cheap looking jeggings.

5. What was the biggest bargain?
I'm a bargain shopper anyway, and I always shop around before purchasing anything! Years and years ago I found a floral kimono on a sale rail in Primark that ended up being £3. I purchased it, and at the time I hardly wore it. Now I wear it all the time, it's a perfect lightweight cover up.

6. What was the biggest waste of money?
I bought a pair of wet look leggings which I love, but I bought the wrong size and couldn't return them. Constantly falling down and baggy on the legs, they look silly! I'll repurchase a pair sooner or later because they were good quality, but not yet!

7. What are your three favourite items right now?
My favourite three items right now are a split back t-shirt from Primark. I picked it up as part of a costume thinking it was just a t-shirt, and it wasn't until I got it out of the bag I realised it had a split back, something I'd been looking for for ages! I'm also loving my light blue jeggings from Matalan and my high waisted white skinny jeans from Boohoo. They're a really good fit and really comfortable!

8. What is the most outrageous item in your wardrobe?
I play it pretty safe when it comes to fashion, I own two leather skirts - one's a black one from Missguided that I've unfortunately torn a hole in, and one's a white one from River Island that I absolutely adore.

9. What is your favourite piece that you've gotten as a gift?
My favourite item of clothing that was gifted to me is most probably two (same top, different colours) zip front tops from ASDA George. Ones a teal, and ones a bright fuschia pink colour. I adore them both, very flattering and feminine cuts! The teal one matches a jewellery set I own perfectly.

10. What is the most comfortable item?
The most comfortable item is definitely tracksuit bottoms, but that wouldn't make for a very interesting answer now would it. I have two strapless summer dresses - lightweight cotton floral dresses which are so simple to throw on in boiling weather - probably the most comfortable thing I own.

11. What is the most uncomfortable item, but you would take the pain because you love it?
I got a pair of black ankle boots from New Look for Christmas two years ago, and as much as I love them, they absolutely kill my feet, always giving me blisters. I wouldn't give them up for the world though.

12. What is your favourite complete outfit - top, bottom, shoes, jewellery, accessories and all.
This always changes for me, but recently it's been my floral kimono with a vest, jeans and sandals paired with long necklaces. A more dressed up favourite of mine is a striped t-shirt, my white leather skirt and heels. I like to pair this with red lipstick - very nautical!

13. Pick your favourite black item and your favourite white item.
My favourite black item is my cold shoulder dress from ASOS, I wear it to death as it's really easy to dress up and dress down. My favourite white item is a lace cover crop top from New Look, I hardly wear it but I wish I could wear it more often!

14. Where do you shop the most?
I probably shop on ASOS the most - although it combines many brands, I'd say its the place I shop the most. It used to be Primark, all the time but I'm definitely branching out now that I'm getting more interested in fashion!

I'm hoping to branch out much more into fashion posts, I'm just not sure where to start!
