So many clothes, so little money
Aug. 16th, 2008 03:14 pmToday I went shopping. Clothes shopping. For the third time in as many months, an unprecedented frequency for me. I went to Sears, because they were having an uber-mega-giganto sale. I wound up getting 13 items -- including two pairs of jeans -- for about $215 after taxes. The jeans were $20 each. Go, me.
I love all 11 tops I bought. They're lovely and work-appropriate, can be dressed up or down, and fit me really well. Alas, I still haven't braved warm-colour clothes (they're all blue, purple, or brown), but at least I've broken out of buying only black.
Now I've got to put them all on hangers and purge my closet of stuff I'm replacing or just plain don't wear.
No more clothes shopping for me for a while, I think. (Except for a pair of leggings because I don't have any and would like some.)
Edited to add: And, in the grand tradition of "what goes in, must come out"... As thirteen new items comes into my closet, thirteen will be leaving: mostly shirts I haven't worn in a long time (if ever), stuff that doesn't fit me well anymore, or stuff that's damaged after long years of wear and just doesn't look good anymore. Goodbye, oh my clothes. You will be missed, but your replacements shall serve me well.
