Three bags to St Vinnies later and the annual clear out of clothes, shoes and bags has finished. Have to admit I was slightly appalled at the amount I haven’t really worn/used or just bought on impulse.
But what about window shopping?
I’d like to only buy what I truly need this year and embrace the hidden frugalista in me. For virtual window shopping it will be Bluefly and French Sole (but will be resoling those ballet flats and probably ebaying or freecycling anything I haven’t worn last year).
Won’t it be boring?
For inspiration on styling my existing wardrobe, it will be Polyvore, an oddly names fashion site which enables you to play at being a stylist and create looks based on themes, seasons etc. without having to buy anything necessary. This was the very site used to style my work Christmas party outfit in a Mad Hatter goes vintage look.
Being a frugalista means quality not quantity, silk or cotton tops, leather shoes and bags, nothing man made or polyester. Seeing as I’m a Pisces, I should start my birthday wish-list to accommodate….well I didn’t say I was refusing gifts…….
