out with the old, in with the new
With a change of season of course comes a change of wardrobe. I've indulgently yet ruthlessly spent the last few weeks cleansing my wardrobe of the old and unfashionable, unwanted and unsightly fashion, slowly replacing my poor choices with the on trend, classic, glamorous, sparkly and shiny new.
Those that know me all too well would agree that my closet is by no means only half full. And I'm prepared to say that it's more than stuffed full of choices, options and probably too much of both. I probably can't see past the pile of shoe boxes and Uniqlo jeans to uncover all the gorgeous clothes I own. Perhaps that's why I "don't have anything to wear" and hence turn back to the only human assumption of the glass is half full (on the way to being full, but not quite there yet). And anyway, are we really ever 100% satisfied with every little compartment of our life?
This week I took delivery of a few stand out AW13 pieces to add to my growing collection of Sally Phillips fabulousness. Gorgeous leather, wool and beads feature in my handful of pieces that include vests, pants and a hi-lo layer top.
I've also taken advantage of the Witchery spend and save offer, nabbing three new pieces for the grand old price of two. Finding a new home in my wardrobe is a pair of French navy coated denim skinny pants, two blouses - a cream lace and a hot pink, a cutesy black skirt and a couple of other basic bits and pieces that simply must feature in any sensible woman's wardrobe.
So, if any of you spot me setting a foot over the threshold of any department store, boutique or shop, I hereby bestow on you the right, no, the DUTY, to grab me by the hand and gently lead me away. Far, far away.
My focus now is to actually build a closet, surrounded by a house, so I can store my fabulous collection of wool, leather, beads and cotton in the form of clothing and shoes.
Disclaimer: you may not eject me from a store if I am buying a new pair of black ankle boots.
