In the meantime, while we plan out these projects, I'd like to share some recent fashion purchases I treated myself to during the after holiday sales. Well, first I want to point out what my loving husband got me-the iPhone 4, and as you can see I'm making good use of it. I'm even using it right now to type out this post!
I am in love with this new shirt from Land's End Canvas. I would never have thought to check out LE for updating my wardrobe, but this post by my girl crush Emily had my attention and so I clicked my way over to their sale at their hip Canvas sister store to see what I could save. I was actually surprised at what I found: cool, yet still classic, looks for both men and women. I bought myself a cream ribbed long sleeve ($15), and a floral poplin button up shirt ($15). I even found this flannel workshirt for my husband for $20, and he has received so many complements from his co-workers on it. I paired the cream shirt with my jeggings and new leather riding boots to wear to a recent baby shower and I loved the casual look. Today is the first day I'm trying out the colorful floral shirt:
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it has my three favorite colors: french blue, orange-red, and poppy pink (ok, that last color name I made up ;-) It was told to me by a marketing co-worker in my office that the print reminded him of the 60s. Not sure if that makes this a vintage remake or not, but I'm loving it either way!
Do you ever ponder if you should hang on to clothes that no longer fit, but maybe they will in time to come? My body has been through so many size changes in the past 5 years that I don't know what to do now. It has grown and shrunk, grown and shrunk, so now I don't know what my size really is anymore. Most of my closet doesn't fit my body these days, which makes getting dressed hard to do most workday mornings. I have work pants in 3 different sizes, tank tops I originally bought as maternity I wear regularly, and over coats that I swim laps in. I guess I'm all over the place with how my clothes fit. It makes me pretty self conscience when I know I really could be looking put together if I had the right sizes on. Maybe this sounds like a rich man's crying, but it has semi-importance to my life: to look good = to feel good about myself. I want to hold my head high.
