Preppy

outfit 4-18-12

I have no problem with giving away clothing that haven't gotten frequent wear, I don't have a walk-in closet after all. As a result of my willingness to part with items, I have had a remorse over some clothing that I gave away or sold that I should have held onto for another season or two until the trend circled back again.  I almost gave this shirt away in a cleaning frenzy last season, but am happy I held onto it. It's a keeper, at least for the time being.

This outfit was inspired by an outfit in the spring J. Crew catalog. I'm afraid, I can't show you a picture of the inspiration because I have since recycled it; it didn't make the "keep" cut when I recently cleaned off my coffee table...

  2. You look sassy and beautiful as always.  My husband lets go of items very easily too.  It's his minimalist nature.  However, once in a while he'll have similar feelings of regret for having let go of something too easily.  It's alright, though.  That trend will eventually pass too.
