So it's 2009! In with the new and out with the old!
I've been looking at my closet lately and I'm starting to weed out what I love and absolutely have to get rid of. Then I start thinking of what I need to buy to replace what I'm throwing out. Plus with what's going on in the world (I'm not going to say it), just like everyone else... I'm a little hesitant to spend money.
Though I've come to a decision that if and when I do buy new clothes, I'm going to spend local and not buy disposable clothing. I feel like I spend more money on inexpensive clothes that will last for a few months. I end up giving it to goodwill or throwing it away. Then I go out and buy more, rather fewer but better quality clothes. Genuine leather handbags or soft Brazilian leather shoes are definitley worth it.
I hear so many girls say that our clothes are too basic or too plain, but what do we wear more often. Basics that go with everything... that will last a life time? Or trendy tops and dresses that we wear only on certain occasions? I end up trying to sell it to consignment stores that doesn't give back what it's worth. Plus our clothes feels like it's tailor made for every girl.
With that said... I can't wait to buy the Sabine dress! We just did a re cut of it and I'm counting my pennies! It's a classic! Oh... and to the girls that know me.... I'm cleaning out my closet. Hint...hint...!
