Wardrobe Update

The weather has turned cooler, so I thought I’d give a wardrobe update.  I have purchased several pairs of pants to complete my winter time look, which I’ll show you later, after I’ve gotten them altered.  My custom jeans have shipped, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out!  Hopefully I’ll have those next week.

For now, though, I’ve been busting out my tights.  And a few sweaters to boot.  With all the clothes that I got rid of during my grand try on, I was actually able to fit all my transition clothes into my dresser.  So I have all my clothes except for the heaviest sweaters.  This should make the transition to fall a lot easier — I just know that it will get warm again before it is cold to stay.

Sweater: Tulle
Skirt: Tulle
Tights: Walmart?
Shoes: Nine West, Macy’s
Necklace: JC Penney
Ring: Kohls

So here’s the outfit that I wore for the first really chilly day.  The hubs and I went out last night to run errands and get dinner.  While we were in the grocery store, someone told me that she liked my sweater and completely made my night.  I bought this sweater on super sale from Tulle, and I have the lovely Katie W. to thank.  We were sharing shipping, and she chose to buy this.  As soon as I saw it, I wanted it too!  The neckline is supposed to tie in a gigantic bow, but I just looped it around to tie in the back.  This skirt has become one of my staples. The necklace and ring are both new — I was so excited to finally find a large ring that fit my finger and didn’t make me look like a little kid playing dress up.

I have one more mission for the season — a knit blazer from JC Penney.  I think that it will be a nice addition to my wardrobe without adding any formality to an outfit.  But after I buy that and get my alterations, I am cutting myself off from clothes for the rest of the calendar year.  My spending in September was a bit high.  I’m pleased with all my purchases, but I need to break the cycle.  Wish me luck!
