via madewell, I love this entire look for fall...I was pretty diligent about sticking to my August "mini shopping ban", and I'm planning to continue it with a small tweak through the end of the year. The girl's birthday and Christmas gifts notwithstanding, my plan is to pay for anything new I buy (whether for the house or clothing, etc...) by selling something old. Needless to say, I'm planning another huge ebay purge.
Currently, I'm ruthlessly going through my closet, taking out anything I've worn only a couple of times in the past year and moving it to Millie's closet. If I go an entire month without thinking about a particular item, I'm putting it on ebay. I think this strategy will weed out all those things I tend to hang onto "just in case", helping me edit my closet down to only the items I truly love and wear... I really believe this makes getting dressed each day infinitely easier, as I'm not distracted by a closet full of clothes I generally feel meh about.
My goal is to own less but love it all.
So what's currently on my Fall wish list? Well there aren't a lot of clothes save those stellar jcrew skinny cords I'm jonesin to wear under short dresses. I also want (notice I didn't say "need") a pair of chunky black boots to wear with skirts + tights and to tuck jeans and said cords into. (I have a pair of caramel boots I wore a ton last year and would love some black ones too.)
