I need new clothes.
My wardrobe is a mess.
I updated my summer wardrobe pretty cheaply recently. Hit Target after 4th of July and got some killer prices on tees, tanks and shorts. Didn't pay more than $5 a pop for them. Since I buy new clothes about once every 20 years, I figure I got a good investment. whats $40 divided by 20 years?
But that was all summer stuff. Now I need fall/winter stuff. I dont know exactly what I want. I'm home more often than not, so jeans, sweats, sweatshirts and flannel shirts will do. I'd kinda like to have something nicer though. Its so easy, as a housewife, do get stuck in the rut of crappy dressing and just not giving a damn about ones appearance. Thats how I've been for the past year or so since I quit to stay home and homeschool the kids.
I dressed up nice for work, doesn't my family deserve the same?
Of course they do, but I can't wear my velvet suit to clean the toliets in. So, somewhere between grungy rags and velvet suits I need to find something nice to wear at home. Nice, but comfy.
I saw some nice black pants in an LLBean catalog. I think I'll get a pair to try out. THey're supposed to be like sweats, but dressier. Thats a good as place as any to start. A new pair of jeans or two and maybe some khakis. I definatly need a really good pair of comfy shoes. My mom bought me a pair of black leather shoes proably 5 years ago. I wore those puppies everywhere. They were SO comfortable and went with everything. THey literally exploded earlier this year. They looked fabulous until one day they just fell apart. I think they cost $50, which is more than I've ever spent on shoes in my life, but they lasted FOREVER. I think I'll get a replacement pair this fall but in brown.
There, thats pants and shoes. This isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Tops are going to take some thought though.....
