::A grey sheath dress that can transition from work & teaching to a nice dinner {I really want to try the monochromatic look: grey dress, grey tights, and grey pumps!}.
::A cozy sweater coat {the one I've had for years is covered in holes and finally ready to be retired}.
::Black knit skinny pants {a great alternative to leggings this season, and thicker for the winter months}.
::A beaded bib necklace {nothing too pricey, just something fun to play with}.
::A pair of colorful suede pumps {to perk-up my typically neutral work outfits}.
Also on the list:
::Burgundy tights
::Faux Fur Stole
::Cashmere blend pullover sweater
::Tall, brown lace-up boots
As per my list of goals a few weeks ago, I cleaned out my closet and took inventory of the items I have and what I still needed/wanted for Fall. One thing I realized is that often I will put something on my wishlist and end up not buying it, because I make excuses about the high price {for example, the leather jacket I've been wanting for ages}.
The problem is, in the meantime I buy a hundred little things here and there that I don't really need. Then, when the next season rolls around, I realize that the same item that I wanted to begin with is still on my list. Luckily, I received a leather jacket for my birthday a few weeks ago, so that can finally be crossed off!
But, this got me thinking that I should be more conscientious about my lists, and try to pay attention to what I actually really desire, and stop giving in so much to my spur-of-the-moment impulses. Nine times out of ten, the items I want most are those much-lauded "classics" that I can wear for years to come. So, maybe you can help me stick to my list this season!?
