i keep picking out all of these cute things to blog about, and then i end up buying them! no good. the solution, i have decided, is that i need to start blogging things that YOU guys want. so, any personal shopping requests?? accessorizing dilemmas? closet crises?? it’s time to start channeling my shopping energy toward good instead of evil 🙂
who’s first? post a comment and i’m on the task 🙂
you tell me if this counts… I need a list of ‘basics’ that I need in my closet, from there, I will do an inventory, and determine what I’m missing. THEN I would like a list of 3-4 trendy ‘must haves’ to keep the wardrobe fresh and cute.
Sooo… does it count if I’m not looking for something specific, but rather to do a slow overhaul of my wardrobe with your help???
yep, it counts 🙂 i’m on it!
Ok.. Lets hope mine is a little easier. 😉
1) I need some cute workout (but budget) gear. I’m short (i.e, long pants drag about 4″ on me) and hippy, so nothing too clinging on the bottom or revealing on the top (no sports bras alone for me!)
2) I am wearing a dress in a wedding that’s spaghetti straps. I need a shrug/sweater/jacket/something in black that would look cute but not totally ruin the look of the dress. The dress is black with mushroom color swirly/flowery things on it. It’s empire style with a v-neck/mock wrap. And it’s slightly gathered around the waistline with a tie in the back. (from Max Studio – if you’ve looked there in the last couple of months)
3) I need some moderately dress-up pieces for fall/winter/the holidays (not too dressy). Maybe a dressier jacket or a cute skirt. My wardrobe mostly consists of business wear or casual. I need a bit of dressy spice.
I think that’s it for now, but… I might come back for seconds if you do good on the first round and if I can think of anything else. haha. 🙂
ooohhh, me too! I need work on getting items that work for suits and for casual. My casual = upper Haight (so, leaning towards the alternative) law student (meaning comfy). And, as you know I have to wear suits to work. So, these are 2 very different ends of the spectrum. I’m having a hard time finding shells/ button ups/ accessories that work well for both. I want to look hip when I wear a suit and maybe a bit more put together (aka, no holes in things) when I’m casual. Can’t afford/ don’t have the space to have 2 full wardrobes.
yay! okay, i’m on it!
