My argument for shopping

On why fashion isn't frivolous: If you feel good in your clothes, you feel better about yourself. For me, feeling better about myself puts me in a better mood. Outwardly, that is reflected by smiling more and being a better person in general. And I know I always want to be the best I can be. So bring on the sales!

I am feeling especially fabulous and fierce today (two overused words referring to fashion-y stuff, but I still love them!). Good hair days always rule. I finally got a pair of slim black pants and I love the proportions of this pair from the Gap. Overcast cloudy days rule for taking better remix photos!

ruffles :)
I love the ruffle-y goodness of this top from Ann Taylor, which is why I bought it in 2 colors!

And it's just cool enough for me to wear this trench I got from F21 in NYC last fall. I think it's going to be a good day!

This last photo is a gratuitous shot of my dear nephew, who has discovered his hands. Apparently they taste yummy. He is getting cuter by the minute!

Ooh, I love that AT top on you - the colors and "petals" are really pretty.

I don't know if I am just noticing things more bc I've been blogging this spring, but are the retailers coming out with much cuter stuff this spring or what?!

Ooh, fun top!
I also finally found a pair of slim black pants that work for me (it's amazing how hard it is to find the ones that work). I feel the same way about shopping. Though I do have to say, now that I have a more "normal" work schedule and can only shop on the weekends, I find it much less enjoyable. I loved going to the mall on a Monday morning where I had the place practically to myself! :)

I've belatedly realized that fashion isn't frivolous -- it's an important part of feeling good in life. Wish I'd realized that years ago!

The Ann Taylor top looks beautiful on you.
