But sometimes you find that piece that you fall in love with and 'must have'. I edit my wardrobe every season though and donate to thrift and also take some things to consignment. I love the vest on you and I bet you don't have a faux fur vest lurking in your closet. You should get it. :)lisa thomsonhttp://www.lisathomsonlive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-69378687359644468672013-09-09T18:03:47.772-07:002013-09-09T18:03:47.772-07:00* Sorry, I meant "If you do this...

I am so picky I have a hard time finding the perfect item (and I make sure I stick to a budget), therefore my list is never emptied! I feel like I am always shopping but 90% of the time I leave empty handed. It feels like such a waste of time. I always hear or read about waiting for the perfect item, but I am really wondering if that is such a good idea. If you does this I find you will never be satisfied. Not a good way to live... I'm actually trying to move away from paying too much attention to my wardrobe now.

However, to be said once more, I just happen to buy something.<br />I actually don´t own specific winter / summer clothes, the same ones get worn 12/12.<br />In winter I add tights and a warm coat and boots = all that is needed.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-22925612855977374492013-09-09T09:08:54.156-07:002013-09-09T09:08:54.156-07:00I usually have a list in mind, but sometimes still...I usually have a list in mind, but sometimes still succumb to temptation. However I've improved with regard to not buying more of the same things I already have! Do try the Eileen Fisher "rock star" ponte jeans. They come in petite sizes (Nordstrom has, I think) and have become my favorite non-jean pants.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-16284231039948925892013-09-09T07:10:27.485-07:002013-09-09T07:10:27.485-07:00I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want w...I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want when I go out to shop and stay focused. I am difficult to fit so I don't shop that often but when I see a good sale or a good piece, I tend to get it. I have also learned that unless I have something that already goes with it, look for something that will make the outfit then. Otherwise it is another orphan in the closet. <br /><br />Good for you for having lost some inches to make that beautiful jacket look fabulous! What a great jacket. I tried on a Burberry trench boat one and felt like a million bucks. It fit better than anything I have ever owned but the price tag had me putting it back to start saving for that one. I can't seem to get these few pounds (~10) off and I have lovely clothes that just won't fit!<br /><br />Now I want specific things. Not lots of stuff but items I will really enjoy and show who I really am. I'll be 49 in a few weeks and realize that my style is changing. In many ways I am ready to be more adventurous!

Now that I am entering my third year of retirement, I have a good idea of what I wear regularly and what needs replacing. Some items have not been worn in two years. It is difficult to find well-cut petite pants so you are wise to start early.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-72510254938100593752013-09-09T06:26:00.157-07:002013-09-09T06:26:00.157-07:00I don't shop with a list and I am always tempt...I don't shop with a list and I am always tempted to buy things I don't need. <br /><br />Yesterday I polished my black ballet flats with kiwi polish so I am good to go. :)<br /><br />Last summer I lived in three pairs of skinny jeans and three tank tops. I wore a few other things but always ended up back with the tanks. I usually drag around a sweater because of air conditioning and August nights. <br /><br />So I have my cashmere sweaters for winter and I don't need a thing. <br /><br />I have managed to make shopping very very boring!

Is it easy for your mum to find clothes? My mum is down to rags and I can't find anything for her age group here, she is also very petite which makes it extra hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-66239661341968227902013-09-09T05:14:42.060-07:002013-09-09T05:14:42.060-07:00I do plan my purchases, but also yield to the impu...I do plan my purchases, but also yield to the impulse when something really jumps out at me. My mistakes have grown fewer over the years, thank heavens, but when I do recognize one I donate the item or give it to someone who would really like it. I am also making a summer to fall transition, putting cardigans over summer shirts, etc. My budget is tight this year due to our new addition and small barn, but I have what I really need and Christmas is coming!Swissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401962870620859831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-69178005710597435102013-09-09T00:03:21.259-07:002013-09-09T00:03:21.259-07:00I'm a terrible impulse shopper - but you know,...I'm a terrible impulse shopper - but you know, I rarely regret an impulse.
