buy a new wardrobe!

Because it has been 2 years since I have done it.

All I want are some new shirts—casual, but not too casual or too cute. Even though spring is coming, I need long sleeves, because the winter shirts I’ve been wearing are not fit to be seen outside the house. But the department stores seem to have only teeny-bopper styles. It seems like everyone just wants to be sexy these days, but that’s not appropriate at work.

Buying new bras. As Oprah says, a good bra can work wonders on a woman’s appearance. After all, you wouldn’t put high-quality siding on a rickety house frame, would you? So I’m going to start by bolstering the support structure.

Cato and Wal-Mart are putting a hole in my wallet! :) I bought a lot of new stuff in the last 5 days! I really needed this; I haven’t shopped like this in a long time. But here’s the catch: mostly everything I bought was on sale or on a clearance. I’ll admit it, I’m a bargain shopper and I’m damn proud of it! I have to hit Ross & Marshall’s when I go out this weekend and find some nice suits and dresses.

I bought a couple of new sweaters and shirts at Cato last month. I didn’t know that Wal-Mart had some nice stuff! Give me $100 and I’ll go crazy in the clothing section! :) I’m so ready to go shopping!

all my old clothes don’t fit me anymore.. and i want to change my style from the teen clothes i wore into a more mature style. since now i am 21 and not 18 anymore. too bad i don’t know that much about ‘sophisticated fashion’. i need to try and pry myself away from the DC shoes when i look for shoes, and spend more than $30 on a spring jacket, maybe ‘spring’ for the more expensive one?

I am about to go to college. I need a new wardrobe. All my clothes seem so childish to me. I want to feel more sophisticated for my freshmen year of college!!

I’ve been getting sickly addicted to Lolita clothing. All I have is supré or surf shop clothes from back when I dressed skanky comfortably. I find that I get way too much negative attention from older, pervey men, and that doesn’t exactly thrill me. I can’t look in my wardrobe without letting out a sigh of procrastination and bummage for unemployment to be able to fix this annoyance.

Mini skirts are no longer my calling. Bring on the bloomers, petticoats, lace and frills! If only they weren’t so expensive to build a wardrobe on xD

Once I get enough staples though I wonder if it’s worth giving my old clothes to charity. Do I want poor children to be dressed like skanks though? ^^;

Attached is my first Lolita outfit. $470 worth of frilly goodness! I can’t wait until my next purchase!

I picked up a couple more sweaters there (sooooo cheap). I also bought myself a brand new pair of shoes (elsewhere). :) I got some pants at H&M and now I have just about completed my new wardrobe. I can pick up things here and there later, but I have all the basics. It wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.

I went back for more today. I got 3 sweaters and two shirts for $20.95. Good stuff. Now I just need some new pants, a new pair of shoes and I’m set!
