My First G.S. Purchase

 The first purchases

As new G.S. fan, I would like to share the experiences I have gained in getting started building my G.S. wardrobe up.

I have a clothing budget that I prefer to stay within and therefore it requires a bit of planning and patience!

As a start, I went through the clothes I already had. The reason I want to change my wardrobe is because I wanted to get rid of all synthetic clothes, so I sorted them out first. Then I sorted out the most worn clothes.

The remaining clothes were then divided into colors.

I now chose the colors I like best, so I got an overview of how I could, as a start, supplement my old clothes with G.S. clothes. Since I had mostly clothes in the colors blue, purple, red and black, those were the colors I started buying.

Since my clothing budget is limited, I decided it would be best to first buy some G.S. basic clothing in the chosen colors. It would be way out of my budget to buy it all new, so I hunted down thrift stores locally, as well as online.

I started in the autumn and therefore mostly autumn and winter clothes were what I was looking for.

The photo below shows my first G.S. purchase.
