About
Wardrobe Wilderness is a true story, built on feeling.
The feeling that arrives before the outfit does — that small jolt just before you get dressed. The quiet confidence of a look that tells your truth. The idea that what we wear is never neutral; it’s a visible translation of whatever’s going on inside: a private joy, a soft rebellion, that much needed armour, a change of mood or a transition made tangible.
First conceived as a tiny stall in Manchester, it became a life lived through rails and market mornings across Dublin, culminating in a 2018 weekend residency at Blackrock Market. For years it ran alongside my professional career — part passion project, part sanity-saving ritual — a fashion thread through a full life and 20+ years on the retail shopfloor. Now, I’m officially back on it.
At it's core, it’s also a confession… as clearly i’ve accumulated ALOT.
From Primark to Prada. Size 8 to 18. A wardrobe that holds chapters, moods, eras, impulses, reinventions — fashion faux pas (retrospectively) and forever pieces (when they still fit)! It’s proof that style doesn’t fit neatly in one bracket. It’s multiplicity and contradiction; it’s poetic and in my case occasionally practical. It’s the freedom to change your mind, and the courage to be seen as you are.
Whilst I have donated plenty over the years, I am equally devoted to the charity shop hunt— not for perfection, but for that heart-pounding possibility, but truthfully I am happy to shop anywhere. So, here I am, unpacking a lifetime shopping habit and editing it into a curated space that keeps great clothing in motion. This isn’t just resale; it’s return — a circular way of dressing that gives pieces longer lives and gives something back too, with a percentage of every sale donated to a good cause.
