I agree, new clothes are definitely something I need.
I've been cleaning out my closet and dresser drawers getting rid of everything that doesn't fit anymore or that I just don't like or don't wear. I'm down to only the bare minimum of clothing.
Color. Between clothing and makeup, I've realized I'm afraid of color. I stick to the basics in neutral colors for a couple of reasons.
Its easy. I don't have to think about getting dressed or doing my makeup. Black goes with everything ,white goes with everything, neutral makeup goes with everything. Its fast. Its cheap. Did I mention, I don't have to think? :)
I also think my weight had/has a lot to do with my clothing choices. I didn't want to call a lot of attention to myself 'cause I had let myself go so badly. Black can hide a multitude of sins, as can elastic waist pants. :)
Now its gonna be a where am I going to shop? My pickin's around here are really pathetic. The nearest Gap and Old Navy are 30 miles from here. I usually go to O.N. when I visit my parents, but we aren't going down there until March. I'm not sure I like O.N. that much anyways. The clothes seem more suited for juniors and I'm not fond of having OLD NAVY splashed across my chest all the time. We do have a Target. I looooooove Target. I was there yesterday with the kiddos and noticed they have a new spring/summer collection coming out, "Linden Hill"? or something like that. I didn't dare drag us all into the ladies clothing department but as I passed I noticed nice colors and fabrics anyways. I've always liked their Mossimo clothing and their Cherokee brand is cheap and decent quality for the price. I don't really care for the new guy, Issack somebody. Its awful loud, bright and gaudy for me, but there were a few pieces in his winter collection that caught my eye so ya never know.
I've been requesting loads of clothing catalogs all week so I'm hoping maybe to find something that way too.
I'm thinking-
2 pair of jeans
1 pair of khakis
T-shirts: colors and white. I also want some tanks and camis for the summer.
shorts: denim, khaki, black. Purple? I love your purple/color combos,Raphaelle.
maybe some capris? I saw a picture of a striped boatneck tee with cropped pants. I loved the look, very Audrey Hepburn. (I think thats who it was.)
1 nice dress Black-have
1 summer fun dress- I already have a couple, but its always fun to look for new ones.
Yeah, I'm going to investigate your Olive Green, Jose. I had a pair of olive green silk pants from Target last summer. I loooooved them until the butt seam frayed out on me. I paired them with a brown ON baby tee and loved how it looked. It kinda hinted at military, I may play with that look abit this summer too.
Thanks, ladies! You've given me lots of food for thought.
