Some Favorite Links.
September 29, 2012
I wanted to share some of my favorite links that are related to style and shopping (or not shopping). Putting Me Together is a blog that I recently discovered. The recent post on shopping mistakes really resonated with me. Her blog also heavily influenced my purchases this season — I wanted to add color to…

Tuesday Update: I Want My Three Dollars.
September 26, 2012
Sorry for the late update! Yesterday was busy and fun, so I forgot all about blogging. I need to post more because my resolve is slipping away. Though I haven’t been shopping for clothes, I’ve been shopping for hair and makeup products. I’ve adopted the same return-if-I-don’t-love-it attitude in that area, too. I used to…

Tuesday Update: The Kids’ Closet.
September 18, 2012
One of my goals is to get a handle on my kids’ clothing. They’ve always had too much — it runs in the family! Given how messy they can be, it’s good to have some extra clothes, but not a week’s worth. I refreshed their wardrobes last week when I found some really great deals…

Tuesday Update…on Saturday: Fall 2012.
September 15, 2012
Sorry I skipped the Tuesday Update this week! It was the first time that both my kids were in school. It was glorious! Sure, I had visions of using that alone time for blogging and sipping coffee or catching up on Project Runway. But, I’m still on Fall 2012. So I spent the time returning…

Tuesday Update: Churning and Slipping.
September 4, 2012
I keep trying on the items I bought for my Fall wardrobe, and finally decided I need to return most of them. This decision opened the floodgates: I could now justify a big shopping trip. Ah, Nordstrom. How I love that store! It was such a nice shopping trip, too. I was alone and had…

Falling for Fall.
August 29, 2012
Why do my new Fall wardrobe additions make me giddy? Why do I smile when I see them, and waste time building outfits in my head? I might have my spending somewhat under control, but I’m still tethered to possessions. My closet does not contain the secret to happiness. Today is a beautiful day. The…

Tuesday Update: Closet Purge.
August 28, 2012
One of my goals is to go through my closet and donate, donate, donate! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been very strict with what I put into the donation pile. I’ve even hemmed and hawed a bit, taking things back out of the pile…and putting them back in. There was a reason I put…

Lighter or Heavier?
August 26, 2012
I recently came across a very intricate method of figuring out whether you should buy something that catches your eye. There’s a formula and some calculations, and…oh wait, no, not intricate. It’s not difficult or time-consuming and takes only seconds. It’s something I’ve always been aware of, but never acted on. No, not intricate. Intrinsic….

Tuesday Update: Wishlist Shopping.
August 21, 2012
One of my goals is to work on a wishlist, and stick to it when shopping. I’ve discovered that one of the best parts of this non-impulse shopping is that I’m taking the time to choose the right pieces to add to my wardrobe. I’m keeping track of styles and trends, and making a mental…
