reminder: shop your closet!

Spring flowers

Spring is slowly but surely coming to Atlanta. Finally!

With the start of the new season comes the desire to new clothes. This is inevitable for me - every single season I have the same urge - to shop!

But may I remind you, and myself, that before we run out to buy yet another _________(insert article of clothing that you have the tendency to purchase again and again), to shop your closet. Look through all those clothes, who have been stored away so long and who are aching to be worn. (I find that it helps me to wash and iron these stored goodies immediately, so that they look ready to wear. This helps fight off the temptation to go out and spend.)

And after you’ve thoroughly shopped your closet, by all means, make a list of what you really need and go get it.  (Another hint: keep that list in your wallet at all times, so when you pull out your credit card to buy your twentieth white button down, you’ll remember that you actually came for a new pair of wedges.)

Happy spring!
