offline: fall(ing) for a new wardrobe
it’s that time of year again, you know the one where all the mags do the massive September issues with about 600 pages of adversting, 100 pages of runway stuff and maybe 20 pages of stuff you can actually wear and maybe afford.
i’ve got fall shopping fever but i’ve decided to wait and first assess what’s in my closet.
before hitting the mall to get that fantastic grey sweater or camel coat you saw in Zara (you know, just like the one you have hanging in your closet…) you may want to:
start with your closet – since we’re talking about work-wear here, take a look at the key basics like black pants and pencil skirts, are they in good condition, any loose threads, holes, or are they worn out?
check your white shirt(s) for fading and for dreaded armpit stains – i now, gross but it’s even more gross when you’re wearing it.
take the time to figure out what you own and what needs replacing/updating. this will allow you to be more focused when you begin your shopping mission.
I’m still holding out for a few more days of summer – fingers crossed – before i do the seasonal wardrobe change-over so my shopping may have to wait a few weeks.

The Essentials: A is for animal print
It’s September and students are back at school. I’ve decided to educate myself as well, on style that is. I’ve gone back to my copy of “The One Hundred: A guide to the pieces every stylish woman must own” by Nina Garcia. I have tons of purple tabs throughout from my first read.
This time I’m looking at the list of must-haves and focusing on pieces that workwear worthy. So my list will be a lot shorter and I may add my own items.
hope you will enjoy my take on the One Hundred (more like 30ish) pieces every working girl should own over the next little while.
oh and i’m experimenting with polaroids at the moment.
Up first, “A is for animal print”. Nina G says wearing animal print is a way to add ‘element of danger’ to your safe outfit and “let the world know there is more to you than meets the eye.” I couldn’t aGrrrree more!
This is how I’m working my animal print a pair of wedges (also own some kitten heels, flats, blouse, jacket, belt… whaaat? A girl cannot have too much animal print! (Just don’t wear it all at the same time!)
