I know I haven’t been here to write in a while nor have I had much time to write on my own blog. This with the diet are going alright seeing as I don’t have much time to shop anymore with working 50 hours a week.
I just took a new position at work, I don’t know if I have told you about it or not. My mind is a mess and today has been the first day off that I have actually had a chance to think. So, I am now the store designer at my LaZBoy in Fairlawn Ohio. For those of you who don’t know where Fairlawn is, which I wouldn’t be surprised, it is just outside of Akron, Ohio.
With taking this new position I realized that I needed to go through my wardrobe and make sure I have outfits that really do say “Interior Designer.” So far so good, but I am making a list of essential items my closet seems to lack. The list isn’t too long yet but I am sure by next September it will be a mile long.
Also while going through my closet I realized a lot of my essentials like spaghetti strapped undershirts are going to fall apart by next September, if not before. Those items are also going on the list.
I just hope that there aren’t too many things on the list that it negates the whole reason I am doing this in the first place, to save money. It would suck if the money I am saving equaled the amount I would need to spend in September to replace and update my closet. Let hope I save more than that!

I like the idea of maintaining a list of what your closet lacks. I need to steal this idea. I like that you’re thinking about it holistically and then future clothes shopping can be focused, mindful–purchasing what you need to complement more than one piece. Thereby, enhancing your wardrobe and not just adding a one-off. I’m starting my own list! BTW, congrats on the new position.
I love that guy Tim Gunn from Project Runway. He has another show where he talks about how we can built a wardrobe with essentials, and he makes a list of what every woman needs. It seems like if you stuck to his rules, you would end up spending less money because you would always have these classics and basics. A pair of black pants is included, a pencil skirt, crisp white shirt, etc.
