5 Piece French Wardrobe Challenge!

Over a year or so ago I made the decision to buy quality over quantity after getting fed up trying to iron t-shirts that had lost there shape or shirts thats hem's were falling down after just one wash! Or ballet shoes which decided to talk to me after just a few wears. I have to admit I've done pretty well, I have really cut down on the amount of shoes I buy and only buy good quality ones. Clothes however; as much as I stick to my thoughts of 'buy cheap buy twice' with main things such as coats, dresses etc I still buy far too much cheap stuff I just thinks alright from topshop, riverisland, primark etc. 

I've decided to take part in the '5 Piece French Wardrobe Challenge' with fellow blogger Neeny after reading about it on her blog. Basically your allowed to buy 5 Pieces per season (seasons being spring/summer and autumn/winter). So that's 10 pieces per year! Obviously it's as flexible as you want it to be. I'm not including necessities such as underwear, basic t-shirts or sportswear (within reason). Also anything bought with Christmas money I'm not including! (its only fair!) 

I Hoping that this will allow me to justify (to myself and my boyfriend) spending a little more on things I really, really want. And also allow me clear out my wardrobe of things I simply don't wear. 

I'm not 100% sure what's on my list but I have a few ideas and will update you if they change. I'm super excited as it means I may actually purchase a few of the things I seriously lust over!

Here it is so far;

1. The perfect leather jacket - I don't own a leather jacket and love how soft the All Saints ones are.

2. J Brand black skinny jeans - I don't even think I need to justify them!

3. Smaller handbag - I'm thinking maybe a Mulberry Alexa or Chloe Medium Marcie.

4. Top / shirt / jumper of some variety.

5. free space. 

I would love to know what you think of the idea and if you'll be joining in or what would be on your list?
