The 5 Piece French Wardrobe Challenge
Here’s an overview of the Rules:
- You are allowed buy 5 new items every 6 months.
- Basics don’t count as one of the 5 items (see my own basics list below)
- Underwear / socks don’t count either
- 1 investment bag per year is allowed
- Accessories don’t count (unless they’re over €100)
Your ‘basics’ will be the foundation of your whole wardrobe, and the list consists of things you should really have in your wardrobe, if you don’t already.
