Re: Shop in Your Own Closet & Save Money
This makes me sad.
My wardrobe consists of 3-4 skirts, 5-6 blouses, 2-3 sweaters and 3 pairs of slacks. I do all the the mixing and matching possible, but there is no way I can have a trendy/fashionable outfit. Especially since the newest thing in my wardrobe was manufactured 3+ years ago.
I rely on my mom to buy me new things. Unfortunately, the last few things she's bought me aren't really right for me. I have 2 new adorable sundresses, but stores and restaurants (and the office) are soooo cold here, I'd freeze if I tried to wear them (geniuses think that 100F outside means they need to keep it 62 inside).
I've sewn on so many buttons, repaired so many hems and treated so many stains, that things are starting to no longer be salvageable. My wardrobe is dwindling before my very eyes.
Most of the time, I'm okay with it. But things like this remind me how little I have. How cold weather is coming and I have 3 long sleeved blouses/sweaters to my name. So, I'm going to have to buy more somewhere, somehow. And put off the debt repayment a little more. I mix and match blazers (which are hopelessly out of date, I have a cordoroy blazer that was my FIL's from the 70s) just to extend the season for my short sleeve blouses.
