How's that going? Easy but not fun.

I bought everything in this picture in the span of 1 week in 2016. 3 years later, the handbag is the only item I still own. The shoes were all donated because I DON'T WEAR HEELS! |
So I need to write them down once and for all and maybe stop falling so hard for the same crap all the time.
Wardrobe Lessons For Me
- Sweaters, Fabric: No matter how fancy, wool itches me. Buy cotton and layer
- Sweaters, Size: The sleeves and waist of standard medium sized sweaters are too short for me. Buy from the tall section
- Sweaters, sleeves: Build a collection of short-sleeved sweaters for spring, fall and even some chilly summer days. These are such a wardrobe workhorse for me
- Sweaters, brands: Tall sizes available online from Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Eddie Bauer and Lands end. Stop prowling the aisles of the Bay and Winners looking for a unicorn
- Pants, Fabric: I hate sorting laundry. Skip wool!
In my 2 month foray into the world of thrifting, I broke all of these rules and the buyer's remorse is real in these parts. Blogging about what I've spent and bought makes me embarrassed and accountable. I need to DO ME because trying to be something I'm not is freaking expensive!
