HI!
January, you sucked.
Sorry for no updates, January and I just were not feeling it.
I officially changed positions at work, and that kind of threw me, but we now seem to have things under control (with clarifications).
But, that didn't stop me from retail therapy-ing (the BEST TYPE of therapy!).
I've actually been pretty good. In January I only really bought some clothes for yoga* up until this weekend.
We went up to NH to meet up with some friends and meet their adorable 5 week old daughter :) Then hit up some outlets.
I picked up two skirts from Loft and two from J. Crew.
The red/navy and navy/polka dotted one are from Loft. Green and black are J. Crew (outlet No 2 pencil wool version).
I have to thank my friend for spying the green one at J. Crew (and then also the black one). I ended up getting both for $36 total. I also tried on these shorts, but they did the back gapping thing. And I'm just noticing now that they had the adjustable waistband that likely would have taken care of that. Bummer. (I will cart stalk them now...)
Anyway, I AM SO EXCITED about the polka dot one! I was just commenting to co-workers my only purge (pictures to come) remorse was a navy blue and white polka dotted skirt, that made its way at the very end of the process to the donate pile, and within a week I was like "Oh no. I want that." It was a thrift store find originally from several years ago, and ill-fitting and hardly worn, but I wanted navy/dotted, and I had one, boo. So when I spied this one at Loft on the way to the check-out for the red/navy one, it was game over. Oh, and this one fits to perfection (thank you Loft Petite sizing), yay! I had also bought this skirt from Loft when they finally had a 50% off sale. I feel like they aren't doing those as frequently as they usually do.
*Yup, you read that right, yoga. A co-worker had started going a few months ago, and when Living Social offered up a deal for 10 classes at the studio, some of us took advantage, and have been going once a week.
Here are some pictures from the closet purge that was done at the end of December.
Starting point. The husband has the first part just starting at the door to the first main hook for the rod, but 3/4 of its space is used by me.
Getting some stacks going...
One of the oldest items in my closet. As evidenced by this photo, circa 2005....
I may have actually stumbled across a shirt that I think I wore to my (older) sister's high school graduation...it went to the donate pile. The brown tank did not. (I can't! I was like 10 bucks from Express, and I "like" it too much still to let go.)
The 8" from the hanger to the wall on the left side rod, and the 3" on the in front of you rod are huge improvements regarding "space". We used to be talking hanger jam packed to hanger.
Hangers of donated items.
The left furthest stack, very top item is the blue/white polka dotted skirt. Tears until today's find.
Hope to have some more frequent posts in Feb.
Thanks for reading!
See ya :)
