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…

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: 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…

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: 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: Raw and Gritty.
October 4, 2012
One of my goals is to fill my life with something positive. I haven’t started on that yet, but it is bubbling to the surface. It’s strange. Since having a family, I’ve become more self-centered and shallow. My insides have become empty, except for the remarkable love that I have for my husband and children….

Minimizing, Round 1.
October 9, 2012
Today, I started working on minimizing my wardrobe. I’ve completed the first round: taking an inventory. I have 113 pieces in my closet, excluding summer items that I already removed and true outerwear. I’m also not including shoes or scarves at this point. Here’s the nitty gritty breakdown: Jackets/Vests (outerwear as inside-wear) — 11 total 4…

Minimizing, Round 2.
October 10, 2012
Yesterday, I decided to take a stab at minimizing my current wardrobe. The first thing I did was inventory my closet. The next step was to remove any obvious items — anything I neglect, anything I don’t want to wear, anything uncomfortable, anything I don’t like on me, and anything I have trouble styling. I…

Tuesday Update: Image Isn’t Everything.
October 23, 2012
I just got back from a nice, long weekend away, where I did something shocking, for me. Or rather, I didn’t do. I didn’t pack a travel capsule. I didn’t pack my best. I didn’t try on a bunch of outfits before packing, to make sure everything was coordinated. I left my jewelry and 99%…
