The Wardrobe Department

(Costume changes encouraged.)

For a long time I dressed for the life I had, not the one I wanted. Rebuilding my wardrobe after my divorce was less about buying more and more about working out what actually felt like me. These are the pieces that stuck: the basics I wear on repeat, the things I bought myself to mark a new chapter, and a few that make me feel like the lead the second I put them on.

Some of these are affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
