Hello everyone, OP here. I have been up to my neck with things these days. I graduated college recently, at the age of 45, so that has been cool. I also have a trip planned to see family and a whole list of new clothes I wanted to buy.
So what did I buy since I last posted about a month ago? One pair of leather flip flops, to replace a pair that I wear all summer long, they were about four years old and the sole came apart. Not worth repairing professionally. They were originally bought at the GAP outlet, new ones bought at GAP on sale of course for $9.00.
Two t-shirts from Target for wearing around the house ($5.00 each) and for bike riding and one white tank top to replace mine ($4.00 Old Navy), that was no longer white, I wear it underneath button downs for the office.
So, I am pretty proud that this is all I have bought year to date. While I am going for no clothes shopping I am being realistic. Things will break, wear out or just need replaced. In the past the change of seasons would have brought an entire new wardrobe, just because. I have made great strides.
What I didn't buy: an adorable one piece bathing suit from J. Crew, a midi length floral skirt from Banana Republic, dozens of off the shoulder or cold shoulder tops from everywhere which apparently are the rage this year, espadrilles from Zappos and rubber Chooka ballet slippers to wear in the rain.
Onward!
