New Feature: Belle of the Bargins

Time: Fall.  Place: my bedroom.  Action!

With sweat dripping down my nose and a scarf flying over head, the job of cleaning out my closet has gotten out of control.  Between ill-fitting clothes and those that are no longer desirable, I quickly fill my donation bags.

That said, I’m going to attempt a different strategy borrowed from another blogger, , who writes franish, partly about thriving on a budget of $150 a month to spend on clothes and cosmetics.  For purposes of my own challenge, I’m going to include jewelry and accessories in this budget as well.

Wish me luck as October has just begun and I’ve got a fall clothing itch to scratch.

If I’m going to keep this up, I’ll need to invest in a better self-portrait method.  *smiles*  I felt all cute today in this floor-length purple dress from Charming Charlie, a braided purple belt from Francesca’s, and black 3/4 length sleeved black sweater from Talbot’s.

I realize sometimes that my creativity comes out in my apparel.  For example, wearing my purple pants and colorful scarf places a brighter outlook on my day.  I enjoy experimenting with color and feel lost wearing black tops.  (Black pants are a staple, of course.)

I don’t see this as turning into a fashion blog; however, sometimes one just needs to show off their perceived creativity.  *smiles*

Edit: After writing this post, I may or may not have taken my lunch break to browse at Charming Charlie.  And may or may not have added to my scarf collection.
