update my wardrobe

so i really need some help with this one people. i swear to god i live in jeans and hoodies. and i know i can do better, but most of the time i just feel silly when i wear anything else. I really do clean up well, it just always seems like a chore. if anyone has suggestions of what i can do to be a little more girly or glam or whatever without feeling like im trying too hard, please let me know! :)

My birthday is coming up so hopefully I can get some new clothes to make my style more like me now.

I’ve put on more weight in the last few months from comfort eating(enough for my boyfriend to comment in fact) and my tops look too small on me. Not much point to going shopping right now as I’m hoping to drop back down to my old size. A nice new wardrobe will be the motivation I need!

I want to get rid of the shirts I don’t like anymore(i.e.—really casual shirts, my raggedy shorts, the pants I don’t like, etc.)

I want to update my wardrobe to a more mature and sophisticated style. New York style to be exact.

Organized my winter scarves, my belts and ties today. Going to keep going through my closet. The problem is, I need to clear out the front room more before I start boxing up more clothes. Argh! I need to get rid of stuff faster.

All my jeans are falling down…

lol well im kinda getting bored of what i wear, for example like 4 out of 7 days of the week im wearing Skinny Jeans and some sort of black shirt. I really need to get more colors. Ive never seen myself wear shorts, i gotta buy some. well I usally cant buy lots of clothes cause i end up wasting my money on other stuff and some weird reason the black stuff calls me, so i end up buying it lol

Now I’m earning money, I should find it so much easier to get nice clothes. I know not to spend all my money on clothes, but I will set aside a certain amount each month to buy some =)

I started this goal in June 2008, realizing I needed to update my image. At the time, my size was a bit of a hinderance to what I wanted to be. It wasn’t that large women can’t look good – it was me – I wasn’t comfortable in “nice” clothes. Plus they were always so hard to find so I never developed an image. But that has gradually changed.

This time last year, I began my weight loss journey. I was able to get into my existing smaller clothes by November and started replacing things by December.

Well, here it is Fall again. I took out what I had stored away and found almost nothing fit – all too big. I’ve given much of it away to friends and Goodwill, which always makes me feel good – knowing my clothes have more life in them.

Now I need to focus on winter. I’ve never been a sweater girl because of the added bulk but I’m excited to see what I can find.
Wool? Cashmere? Fun, fun, fun!

Three more basics tee-shirts for 28 euros ;)
