hello sweaters my old friends
You know what this weekend is?
Tis the weekend I spend pulling the cold-weather clothes out of the attic.
I bitch and moan. I sigh. I survey. I send big bags of discards to charity. But, in the end, I'm thrilled.
I love finding clothes I forgot about. It's like free shopping.
Of course, there are always disappointments. There are three great skirts that are two sizes too big for me. Tell me, do I have them tailored? Because, while that sounds economical and efficient, it is expensive and perhaps not the best choice. Two of them are very 2007, I'm just sayin. And, while I do realize that, in the grand scheme of things, this is no sin against fashion, the skirts are too long, too wide and slightly too formal looking.
I need to send them to MissM! (What size is she, do you think?)
Meanwhile, I am waltzing (yes, dancing, in the house) around with long sleeves and a neck warmer-thing on. It's barely 67 degrees!

I also keep my jewelry in my closet and love opening those doors and seeing everything looking so pretty.
sigh. Now if it would just get chilly!!
If you don't like them, send em to the charity shop. Now.
If they're just fun pieces that you liked, but don't really love, give 'em away. Someone else will appreciate your cast-offs, I'm sure!
I'm always willing to spend the money on classic pieces that will last and last and can be updated with new accessories or an au courant top. Classics like that are always worth the investment.
Trendier things that I'll only like for a season or two don't generally get the same consideration. They need to be affordable--not so expensive I can't bear to give them away when I tire of them.
But maybe that's just me...

Sorry, I rarely get to experience sweater weather, so not much to say about it :P
I am bad, I know, that is why I read you and TRY to learn.
MissM? She's an S, leaning towards XS. Or that is what I imagine.
Sweaters--been wearing them for weeks now. Socks, too. You would LOVE the weather here.
You're waltzing in your long sleeves with your neck warmer thing on.

I'm pretty much moving my hips like 'yeah.'
