3. Capsule Wardrobe’ are IN. Time to shop online! A 2024 “IN” is being Sustainable by having a capsule wardrobe. Try buying clothes in neutral tones that will go with any outfit such as white, gray, navy and black. All in moderation because a pop of colour is always needed ofc! Then you can reorganise your wardrobe to be super aesthetically pleasing! Also - if you need some extra cash to buy these new clothes, post them on your Instagram stories and see if any of your friends will buy them!
4. Pinterest Board Arvo: set the theme for the term ahead with creating an inspo board with your favourite quotes, outfits and room decor!
