I don't buy new clothes often. Really. I gained 6lbs since going to college, that's it. More than half of my clothes from high school still fit me, and I wore them, again and again. And then I started to get rid of a lot of stuff, but I was not able to buy at the same rate that I was getting rid of. The result was that I had 4 pairs of wearable pants, 2 of which I hated. Tank tops with holes in the seams. Cardigans that used to be pink and are now a weird pink/grey color. It was time for a new wardrobe. In any quest for hotness, a new wardrobe is always necessary. Whoever said that clothes don't make the man was clearly blind. It changes EVERYTHING. I feel like a new woman, thanks to working retail. it feels so good to have new things. When you don't have a lot of money to spend, shopping is never fun. When you can spend less than $60 and get two sweaters, a belt, pants, a tank top, and fancy hair pins...it is awesome.
So, if anyone in the Newark area between size 0-6 would like to shop at J.Crew, you can come in my closet, I own about half of it.
What do you think. Is clothing, and fashion overrated? Or do you understand the magic that lie within a perfectly fitting pair of jeans?
