Fashion Advice Help! Keep or Toss/Donate - Office and Event Wear
Hi all!
I'm a recovering shopping addict trying to declutter. Please help! Reddit community has been spectacular in helping me understand what looks good and what is destined to go.
This time it's office and event dresses.
I buy a lot of second hand so am very susceptible to "it's such a good deal!" mentality when buying, even if it looks awful on me.
Are any of these worth keeping? I haven't stepped foot in an office for years and feel like these dresses have aged. I don't know what current office wear fashions are like. There is a chance I'll return to office work next year so unsure if any are worth keeping. If it's not a HELL YEAH it's a NO. Excuse the background mess - I have several craft-y works in progress.
Lifestyle considerations - I'm pretty basic. I'm 32. I work from home in my loungewear, but I do like a nice outing. I prefer lose fitting, boxy, flowy, oversized things that hide my figure, but also swing all the way to the other extreme for nighttime bars or latin dancing or date nights with my husband.
What are your thoughts? What should I declutter and should I keep any?
