And skinny looks bad on me so I chose these basics...

My Shopping Trip...the results

Image
So it took about 3 and a half hours to get to Albany for my shopping excursion. I must admit I was worried at first when, 2 hours into the event, I had yet to make a single purchase. But then Forever 21 appeared on the horizon and the rest is history. Basically, my purchases can be summed up in 2 words: Ba-sics. Sweater dresses, pumps, flats and Coach. I cannot afford the bag but managed to fall in love with their perfume. All in all, the damage was not so bad. The breakdown: Nine West flats Nine West Croc Pumps Forever 21 gray sweater dress (it's like my 3rd) F21 black turtleneck dress F21 heather gray prep school blazer a la Balenciaga F21 Black card AE flats Coach Perfume Eesh...I bore myself with these blah basics..nothing too enticing but in the end, ill be able to mix with everything I own. I paraded said ideas today and felt satisfied that all purchases fit with everything else in my closet. Next on the shopping list... The Ziona! from Aldo:

My Upcoming Shoping Trip!!!

I have been in shopping detox for about 3 weeks now. Every day, it gets easier and harder all at once. I feel the need to reward myself for such determination and perseverance. I am giving myself, as a gift to me, a shopping trip to the States. With the US$ at a low and CDN $ acting like hot stuff, now could not be a better time to score some reasonably priced Nine West shoes, a hot J Crew wool coat and some inexpensive Forever21 accessories. I know this trip seems a tad counterproductive in my ultimate goal to fight overconsumption in a society filled with never ending wants and needs and a constant unsatisfaction what what one already owns, but whaddaya gunna do? In light of my preparation for for my trip, here are a few goodies I intend on scoring: The Skirt (as per this example from Top Shop) I want it a few inches above my knee but it has to be flowy and extra points if its got some pockets!! The Dress (es) There will be a plethora of them...oh yes there will. Dresses (sweater, s...

How to Winterize Your Summer Wardrobe...Part 1- Shorts

Image
So we all loved those dresses, shorts and tunics tops we wore throughout the warm summer months. Thanks to the fabulous layering trend and the ubiquitious opaque tights, we do not have to stow away our most prized summer possessions. Done right, many summer pieces can be worn straight through fall and even winter. However, I strongly advise you, dearest Canadian reader, that come February I do not suggest you rock a short jersey dress, thin tights and peep toes during a snowstorm. But besides extreme weather conditions...go nuts. Really and truly, all you need are tights, a few long sleeve tops and the right shoes. Then its crazy party time! I present to you, exhibit A: A Night Out with the Girls Take your summer shorts, add tights, a clutch and some rockin shoes (the key here is the shoe) and off you go my dear! Not feeling the heels? Are you more of a boot kind of girl. No problem. Check out #2: A day browsing the streets of Montreal for more clothing you don't need ;) And voila...
