Good Evening All,
I have been busy as usual this week. I received and accepted a job offer on Monday. I am really excited about it. It is near two train stations which will allow me enough time in the morning to get a workout in. The best part about it is, I don't have to drive. The position is at a well respected university with many opportunities for personal growth and to help others. Also, I was invited to be a contributor for an Australian magazine featuring French designers. I have been so blessed to have these doors open for me.
I have a question for you? Do you wear your clothing like a uniform? What I mean by that is you buy key pieces to wear interchangebly. When I first started working at Ann Taylor, co-workers were complaining about how expensive the clothes were even with the generous discount. One of the suggestings my manager made was to buy some pieces and wear it as a uniform. I have a manager that does this. From my observation, she buys a couple of pieces every season and weasr them like a uniform. Some have suggested that she wears her things out; however, I like the idea. It is smart, economical, and she always looks pulled together. My sister also made that suggestion to me. When I buy items, I buy for example, like 6 pairs of Chelsea pants from Ann Taylor http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/catalog/productDetails.jsp?prodId=289021&colorExplode=false&skuId=11769743&catid=cata000014&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=2143&prodId=289021
My sister says that is ridiculous. You don't even wear all of that stuff she stated. She is absolutely right. I buy things because I see it in the store and it is cute. I said after my weight loss, I was only going to buy a couple of items and wear the hell out of them.
It is back to the basics. After I got off the phone with my sister, I trampled on down to Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft to return some items. I did buy a basic black pencil skirt and a fun leopard skirt. I know that these items are timeless and I can interchange them with my many black, white, or cream shirts.
