Beg, Borrow or Steal

I’ve been clearing out my closet pretty seriously getting ready for January 1st and the beginning of this experiment. It’s sort of nice to get a handle on what I actually have, what basics I’m missing, or what I haven’t worn in years. I think the girls at Buffalo Exchange are sick of seeing me there, trading things in. I just have to get in the habit. The idea of not being able to buy anything new for an entire year is a bit daunting. I haven’t decided if shoes will get to be the exception. Shoes can really make or break an outfit and change the entire mood of a look. In any case, I’m excited to go home for Thanksgiving. I’m refinishing a vanity table while I’m there, and grabbing the four dress forms my mother has been saving for me. I’m excited to finally get all of that to the apartment. I like the idea of being able to plan out outfits in advance on the dress forms. It will definately help me stick with the whole thing.
