Strange enough these are all pieces I have worked into my work-wear and this is something I wore on a weekend. I have gained some weight in the hip region so I haven't been thrilled about wearing denim, these pants are from Joe Fresh which have been a favorite to go place for me for workwear. They are called the 'Audrey', they have the right amount of spandex and they are cut nice and skinny; just waiting for them to come back in season (hint hint Joe Fresh).
Lately I've been spending money on clothing, either on new clothing or alterations at the tailor. I am obsessed with the tailor right now, I can't believe I have gone this far in life without understanding the importance of something being sculpted to my body. I am also opting for spending more for better materials. With having more luxurious pieces I learned the effect of having things dry cleaned and how it reserves the garment and also with my non luxurious pieces I've learned how to handle them with care to extend their life span.
I have been gravitating towards a lot of black, deep purples, dark florals, neutrals like camel, eggshell and mauve, although I am still on the prowl for hunter green and brown garments. Since the season changed brighter hues are on sale and so I shop ahead and I've purchased pieces in baby pink and fuchsia. I think pops of color during the fall and winter are refreshing and buying things on sale for next spring and summer is wallet friendly.
There's this thing about New Yorker's and black and I have never really participated in that, although I have grown to appreciate a LBD and all of it's versatilities. I also read somewhere that when you find something that fits well, you should buy it in multiple colors. So to me, that LBD can easily be a LRD, or a LWD. I think the fit of a dress is more important than what color it is.
Usually I tend to feel some sort guilt purchasing clothing but it is mainly work clothes so it qualifies as a necessity, give or take a new pair of Koral jeans that have changed my life...
