Episode 30 : A Revolution in my Wardrobe

This episode of The English Homemaker is about finding the balance between practicality and beauty in your wardrobe. Whilst also balancing a budget and wanting to choose as sustainably as we can!

I share how I purchase new items, and what happens to things in my wardrobe that are past their best.

Repeat after me, 'I will not settle for "good enough"' ! AND 'I will remember that I am important enough to get dressed properly, shower and do my hair the way I like' (it is not frivolous, it is a power move!)

To see the latest things I've bought (aka my new Next jeans, jewellery and tincloth coat), and some of my favourite forever pieces in my wardrobe, visit:
