Week seven of Shop My Closet featured lots of Loft, a Valentine's Day sweater, and another poncho from Costco. And many boots, because there's been much rain in my life. Seattle in February = yuck.
As I continue my shopping ban, the strangest thing has happened. I honestly feel no urge to get online or head to the mall and buy anything. While looking through my closet on Sunday, planning outfits and purging a few things that aren't working for me, I was thinking about why I like to shop, and wondering why I haven't missed it that much in the last few weeks.
I finally decided that the size of my wardrobe reflects my enjoyment of putting different looks together, and having variety to choose from. And it seems that shopping from my closet, instead of the store, and wearing everything I own, is fulfilling that need.
So far, so good. But spring is coming, and I've looked at a few trends. The lovely colors, and pretty florals, ruffles and lace are calling my name.
For now I will press on, and avoid the temptations of spring. There are still so many sweaters, and so little time...
Linking up today with A Lovely Little Wardrobe, The Pleated Poppy, Thursday Fashion Files, Fashion Friday, Fabulous Friday, Pumps and Pushups, How I Style It, Not Dead Yet Style, My Refined Style
Not being interested in shopping lately makes sense. You have put together so many cute looks! That poncho is adorable and I can't believe you found it at Costco!

Thanks Jill. I don't buy clothes there very often, because you can't try them on. But I couldn't pass this one up!
DeleteLove all you stripes this week! Stay warm!

DeleteYou really are the queen of sweaters! Love that heart one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should rename my blog "Queen of Sweaters"!
Delete<3 LOVE that heart sweater so much!! You're so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea!
DeleteI congratulate you! They say it takes, what, 21 days to form a new habit? Maybe you've kicked the buying habit.
ReplyDeleteI was sucked into the 40% off sale items at Anthro, as I usually am. I'm weak. You are my idol.

Ha ha - I doubt I'm cured of shopping forever! The spring styles will be too tempting.
DeleteCute, as usual! I like the striped sweater. Thanks for the preview of Spring colors. I'm loving the rose quartz, Serenity and Limpet Shell. Only...who the heck picks the color names? Limpet Shell??
ReplyDeleteI think the same people that name paint colors. So silly!
DeleteI love seeing what you have created the last 7 weeks! So, So fun, and yay for not having the urge to shop any more, awesome :) And I want that heart sweater...
ReplyDeleteI always forget I have that sweater - I seem to only wear it for Valentine's Day!
DeleteI love your sweaters! I wish I had a fun heart sweater for Valentine's Day, or for any random day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamara. I think I got it at Kohl's!
DeleteMy Gawd! I can't believe you are still finding such amazing outfits! I really want a peek in your closet it must have a never-ending back wall haha! I am really enjoying this series though. You have such fabulous style. I wish I had just a 10th of your ability!

I think Rose Quartz is my favorite.
DeleteAhhh!! Love the heart sweater! I love the blush color trend, but not the baby blue so much!

I agree - baby blue isn't a good color for me. Thanks Carrie!
