Ladies,
I returned from a work trip in California a week ago and a box of clothes were waiting for me. You may remember the post Sally wrote about donating some of her cast-offs to poor, ole’ whiny me. True to her word, she sent me some fabulous items that she was no longer excited about: one Anthropologie sweater (perfect for cuddling up in), one black wrap sweater (totally me), a retro 80’s purple warm-up jacket (watch out fellow gym sluts) and a grey ruffly tank. TOTAL SCORE!
Over the weekend, I wore two of the four items and received glowing compliments from both the husband and several girlfriends. Granted, I was strutting my stuff like a was wearing new clothes, so maybe my friends were simply noticing my superior fashionista attitude rather than my cool threads, but either way– the addition of “new to me” clothes in my closet did wonders for my spirit.
I should add as a side note that while I was visiting the traditionally windy, foggy Bay Area, it was uncharacteristically HOT. It actually reached 100 degrees in downtown San Francisco- unheard of! I’d left fiery Texas with a suitcase full of Fall tweed and ended up wearing the only cool(ish) clothes I’d brought along: One white t-shirt and a pair of khakis. Talk about clothing deprived!
So… thank you Sally for welcoming me back to Texas in style.
I’d like to return the favor to anyone else on the the diet who needs a quick infusion of fashion. Anyone? I can have a box of clothes ready by the end of the week that no longer work for me, but might work for you.
Let me know. (And no, I won’t send you the white tee and khakis:)
