Starting from scratch
Shirt - Liz Clairbourne, thrifted Skirt - thrifted Socks - Sock Dreams Shoes - Riker Anti-Stress
So ends my first full week at my new job. I love it. I really do. I'm doing something that helps people, that I'm capable of, that didn't require years of my life drained away with no experience.
I really really love my new job. I'll probably say it a thousand more times, because I feel like I found where I need to be in my life right now.
However, I'm still struggling on one major front - clothes!! My current lifestyle calls for a very different need than I had two weeks ago. I had a crash-shop last weekend, picking up several new things from the thrift store, but unfortunately, the downside to shopping for BULK means I don't always find that RIGHT thing.
Example A: ---okay, example A was perfect. I loved this outfit. The skirt isn't the most flattering on me, but I love the shirt.
Example B: awesome trousers that I LOVED, had to take them in slightly at the waist - midday one of the seams popped at the edge. The shirt is alright. Not the best fit in the world, but comfortable.
Example C: Love the shirt. The skirt?? ATE MY SIDE UP. Omg, I came home red from the hook and eye closure. I'm going to try to fix it because I love the skirt, but it was literally painful to wear all day.
I've got a decent mix of clothes that will keep me going for a few weeks. I plan on rebuilding my closet (again) from nearly the ground up. I've culled a lot from my wardrobe, and have a lot more on the chopping block.
Would anyone be interested in a Shop My Closet before I sent off to goodwill? I'll have S/M sizes as well as 4/6/8.
