Filling the gaps

back from boston! had a nice, relaxing time and it was great to be out amongst the living. i always forget how fun people watching can be.
as i was unpacking from the trip, i started organizing my clothes, trying on some possible outfits, and taking stock of the situation. i manage to feel like a "responsible" shopper when i'm at least filling the perceived holes in my wardrobe. while kertch and i were in anthro, i tried on this great pair of white jeans, that i stopped just short of buying, but that have been haunting me ever since. not only did they fit super well, but the very thought of them transports me to some exotic island vacation with the sun on my shoulders and an umbrella drink in my hand...ahhhh...i found them online, and resolved the regret by telling myself i will wait/find them at a considerable discount.

soooo, back to the closet assessment. i think white jeans are DEFINETLY missing from the completed closet, as i see it, along with a few other things. so without further ado, i give you the summer of '09 most wanted (the condensed version :).

Joe's Jeans - Honey in Jenny

Yaya Aflalo - Lena Pocket Tank

Linea Pelle -Studded Bracelets

Splendid Cropped Leggings - Black

every one of these items doesn't just create one or two outfits; i can see them working with at least a dozen other things that i currently own. its a great feeling for someone like me who's yoyo dieted for most of her life, and therefore never had a cohesive, well-fitting stockpile of nice clothes to wear. i feel like i'm finally close to that place: a closet for every occasion. one where i go in with a plan, and come out feeling fabulous.
