New Pants.




Shirt: Target
Pants: Anthropologie
Shoes: Born
Necklace: Down East

Do you remember that I was not going to buy clothes for six months? I didn't quite make it. I broke down and bought these pants. I have been looking for linen pants, and I really wanted these, so I ended my goal of no clothes shopping. Even though I didn't make it six months, the goal worked to slow down my shopping.

I made it four months.
So good job, me.  



I like to celebrate the positive anytime I can.

Have I told you about my New Year's Resolution? I am not going to buy clothes until July. Six months without buying any clothes. It is a challenge. There are two main reasons I am doing it. The first, the money that I would spend on clothes is going to pay back my trip to Paris/Ireland. The second, I have a lot of clothes, and I thought it would be good to try using what I have before I buy more. 
It has been a good experience. Depending on how it goes, I might extend it for the entire year. That way I can start saving money for when I need to buy clothes for a colder climate. But we will see, I also really love shopping...we'll see if I go for instant or delayed gratification.
