My External Struggle

Lately I have been dealing with a lot of external changes in my life. I am growing up and at the same time trying to stay as young as possible. I don’t want to be full on Gap but I don’t want to be Baby Gap either you know..? I have tried doing the whole “by you fall clothes in spring and winter clothes in summer”, but it is really hard not only on my heart to make the adjustment but my wallet as well. I have decided to implement a new system. I may buy some things in that manner, but I won’t stress over perfecting it any longer. Instead, I am going to start Shopbop Monthly. I am going to alott myself $100-150 to spend on http://www.shopbop.com once a month, and buy quality, not quantity. I have realized that those crazy things I buy from Forever 21 are rarely worn more than once or twice, and the amount of money I spend on cheap stuff I could save and buy something I know I will always be using. Like that beautiful 3.1 Phillip Lim bag.. or those Pringle flats or J brand Jacket. If I actually succeed at this, I will post my buys on here for your scrutiny. After a few months, we’ll see if my wardrobe has significantly improved, or if it has stayed in the early 2000’s.
