Electrifying

Shopping habits are an interesting thing. I always keep a written list of items I'm hoping to thrift and get so excited when I'm able to cross something off. Then that item goes unworn for some time because I can't seem to find the perfect way to wear it. At that point, I usually question why I wanted it so bad.
And there are other times I will pick up something on a whim and wear it over and over again.

This outfit is the perfect example of both of the points above. I bought the top without hesitation and I love it and wear it at least once a week. But the bodycon skirt was on my list, bought, and then sat in my closet. Since taking these photos, I've figured out that this skirt is not something for me. It's easy to get swept up in what other people are wearing and see how cool they look and then instantly want that. (um, hello, bodycon trend of 2011!)

I've taken a visual inventory of my closet and have told my mom to keep me accountable when shopping so I only get the things I love. I really hope to only make smart clothing purchases. But, hey, I'm only human. There are times when I will slip up, let's just hope they don't happen frequently and then end up on my blog! lol
