In exactly a week, I will be off this “no shopping for clothes diet”.
I have to say, it has become easier as time went by. I thought it would be grueling towards the finish line. So, Sunday, August 29th I will go downtown and see what damage I can do.

This morning, I had to put on a winter sweater. In July. It is so cold here in the mornings now, I am starting bitch non stop on the side walk with clients I run into, or whoever else happens to be in my path. I am turning into one of those people who talk about the weather too much. Today my friend Sue came by to help me with a project, and we both started up immediately on the subject of the weather and how frumpy we looked. Just tryin’ to keep warm, we have to digg out late fall or even winter things. And they are usually in the shades of brown, beige, black, or grey. Not summer colors, but here we are all bundled up in our dreary wear.
Now here comes the idea for the a business. In this economy, I am hoping someone will do my friend Sue’s idea for a clothing line. The first thing she said when she started to tell me the idea is “I am NOT doing this. This idea is for someone else to do. Just sayin’”. Here is Sue’s idea: Why doesn’t anyone come out with a clothing line just for our weather? Why can’t we have clothes that are warm, and water proof, but cute and stylish? And in appropriate colors for the season we are in? The person or people who came out with this clothing line would for sure have a customer base in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and maybe parts of other states.
Why can’t coats be gortex and fabulous? I know some of you outdoorsy gals are going to try to convince me that REI coats are cute. They are not. Just so you know. They are practical, and can be tolerable. Cute they are not. And I think fleece is horrible. There are my thoughts. I am going shopping in like 40 days or something. We should have a countdown clock here. I will be on the look out for cute, water resistant coats in good colors, with a form fitting style. Let me know if you see anything like that, or decide to do Sue’s idea.
