Secondly I really love your shopping tips here, helpful and practical. I really need to work on #2! As soon as I've capped my shopping budget I will not go shopping at all because the temptation to spend is really hard. I have had the urge here and there to buy something for the blog & then realized this is just silly because I really won't get much use out of it. Hope you are having a great week:)<br />Marta<br />www.sweatersstripesandsweets.comMartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725387014790778777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536352537952482180.post-22870865953119872732014-10-28T17:51:14.842-05:002014-10-28T17:51:14.842-05:00This dress is too perfect!

I also find that shopping online keeps me to my list. It's harder to leave a store without buying anything than leaving a website. I used to have so much more will power!

Since I started reading your blog I have begun putting together a much more quality/thoughtful wardrobe. So true what you said about mindless shopping out of boredom.. I had tons of shirts that I grabbed because "that's cute!" and wore only once, if that! Now I'm looking for higher quality pieces that can do double duty, layer or go from season to season. Thanks for the inspiration :)Sara J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00273538488968302627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536352537952482180.post-69912443569229330372014-10-27T11:58:19.544-05:002014-10-27T11:58:19.544-05:00Great advice!!

I'm guilty of going to Target over my lunch break and getting sucked into the sale rack or seeing something that just came out and buying it in multiple colors. The return policy is so good that I spend more when I should be more selective. I really need to clean out my closet. I bet I would find a lot of stuff I didn't even know I had:) Hope you're having a great day, Ginny!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482703385103047136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536352537952482180.post-21032177570749120682014-10-27T09:05:46.775-05:002014-10-27T09:05:46.775-05:00Omg, Ginny, this dress looks amazing on you!

I'm such a sale rack shopper...though with having kids and less time to shop, I've kind of strayed from this, and I've realized looking back that tons of "great" Goodwill finds just end up back in the donation pile. I just did a HUGE closet purge. Now I feel like I have nothing in there...though I do, and I want to be more selective in the things I add back in. Not quite a capsule wardrobe, but just having a list of things I actually NEED instead of just buying something because it's cute.Becky Goerendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297050793456171803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536352537952482180.post-89226658943413978572014-10-27T08:06:49.734-05:002014-10-27T08:06:49.734-05:00Ginny-I must be on the same wave length as you.

I too have been thinking about acquiring more quality items, especially shoes and handbags that might take several months to save up to get just one piece. Thanks for sharing & I love your new dress.<br /><br />Janeane <br />www.designingfrommycloset.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536352537952482180.post-13963076780914230172014-10-27T07:59:29.065-05:002014-10-27T07:59:29.065-05:00GREAT words of wisdom.
