The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Does this bring me joy? 

15/01/2017

For those avid Gilmore Girl fans out there, I’m hoping you can relate to the title of this post and the latest series when Emily starts to sort through her entire house, questioning everything she has with “does this bring me joy?” 

I decided to opt for this quote when sorting through my wardrobe to create a condensed capsule of clothes that bring me joy. 
Given, I was not joyful when it came to sorting through my pyjamas. The hermit in me adores each and every discoloured piece of clothing I wear to bed, but alas! I needed to get rid of some crap. 
I’ve listed a few of the items that no longer give me joy and have been passed on to charity (but more than likely my sister’s wardrobe as quote; “you always buy nicer things that I do Gab”) to hopefully give you a few ideas for starting out your year with a fresh wardrobe of clothes that bring you joy when each time you open it;
1. The pyjamas had to go – all 12 mismatched, discoloured items

2. The shirt bought from the app Ali Express that was terribly made and never worn

3. The multiple pairs of printed trousers that haven’t been worn 

4. The genuine fake Mulberry clutch from Turkey

5. The off white Primark shirt

6. The bodycon dress without a zip, never worn as I could barely get it over my head to put on

7. One of many printed New Look dresses that looked great at the time, but hasn’t been worn since I first wore it

8. The light blue shirt I want to love but wrinkles as soon as it touches a human body and looks cheap

9. The burnt orange Topshop dress that does bring me joy, but the tear on the bottom layer does not

10. The knitted cardigan with the tangled tassels 

And there you have it, I now have 50 items hanging in my wardrobe (probably not few enough to call a capsule, but it’s a start!) and am feeling very joyous! 
And breathe!

Until next time…

    Well done Gab! I got rid of a lo of ‘stuff’ when we moved but I’ve slid back into ‘hoardom’ now that I’m into making rag rugs. Teehee. xx

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
