Shopping
February 16, 2011
When I moved across the country after I graduated, I purged through my closet and got rid of a ton of stuff. As I was going through it I realized that there were so many things that I had bought impulsively at the store and worn once or twice, only to realize that I didn’t like it. A recent goal of mine has been to be purposeful about the things I purchase. This list is helping with that, and I feel like in the past few months I’ve been a lot more scientific about my shopping. Sounds weird, but it’s true.
Instead of going shopping to look around or browse, I’ll go in short doses, with one or two specific goals in mind. This keeps me focused and allows me to not get overwhelmed with all the other things around that I don’t need.
I’ve been saving inspiration pictures of different outfits that I like. It makes it sort of a fun challenge to re-create a look that I like, on a budget that works for me. I’ll keep the pictures on my phone or in my purse so I always have it handy.
Rather then spending a lot of money on trends, I’m focusing on investment pieces that I know that I can wear for a long time.
Do you have a method to your shopping? I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to figure these things out, I’ve noticed a huge difference already.
Weekend
February 4, 2011
I’m loving this list that I’ve been seeing around lately (here + here to name a few), via Matchbook Magazine. I’m ready to start filling my wardrobe in with some of these classic pieces, I may do some shoppity shopping this weekend!
White walls + dark wood floors
Flowy top + skinny jeans + brown riding boots
Love everything about this picture!
In other news, Matt and I picked up a Craigslist dresser yesterday. Can’t wait to show you! (After a little elbow grease, of course.)
Happy weekend!
