I am a closet case.
A terrible shopper who spent $15,000 last year on clothes that are just short of boring. I'm over it.
I'm starting this blog to re-learn how to shop. I want to spend way less money on way better clothes. Establish my own style. Kick my junkie-like addiction to Banana Republic basics.
I think there are a lot of women out there like me, who might enjoy reading this and get something out of it. The rest of you...feel free to point and laugh.

Casual Friday
It's Friday and I decided to try a casual/preppy look. Not loving it, but don't hate it. This is an outfit that a month ago I might have thought was really snazzy (yes, I talk like an old lady), but today, not so much. Surely I can be more imaginative than this! This is good though, I'm finding out what I like and don't like and that will keep me from buying more stuff I'll never wear. Plus I used to think these jeans were super flattering, but now I think they make my butt look big. Having pictures is a really valuable tool. Too bad I have 2 pairs of these.
I love this tweedy jacket though. ($80, Urban Outfitters) particularly with the turtle mother of pearl broach that was my late-grandmothers. Jeans are Hudson ($176), T-shirt is Ann Taylor ($?), and boots are Miz Mooz ($155).
The purse is an embarrassing story. It's LV and it's called "The Manhattan" and it cost a LOT ($1550 if I remember correctly) . I bought it when I decided to move here but have hardly ever carried it. I have to use it more - it's such a nice bag. And I spent a small fortune on it. Could have gotten a black market baby for $1550. And everyone knows babies are the hottest accessory.
