I think my comment got missed. <br /><br />Well, I have loads of clothes and shoes and hand bags, most of which I don't use. But now I am done with all that.

Never really with clothes.<br />But nowadays just trying to be more frugal and really cause I don't NEED another blouse/sweater/pair of jeans, I have to ask myself "do I LOVE it? or do I LIKE it?"

But I think a...Oh, I used to be a horrible shopper. But I think a lot of buying random stuff at huge discounts is part of the learning process. And when I was much younger, I didn't really know what my style was. I think the older you get (i.e. once you get out of college and start work) the more you'll know what really suits your personality and the less likely you'll be to wind up buying silly pieces. But I agree, sales are particularly dangerous, even if you have a clear picture of what you need. You get so caught up in a bargain, you just have to have it!<br /><br />What helps me know is if I actually go through lookbooks and catalogues at the beginning of the season and determine what I might be interested in buying. Once sales start, I'll see if it's still available and until now I've been pretty lucky at getting these things. That way, it's no longer an impulse buy and I've had enough time to think about it. It just gets really tricky if you end up buying your sensible item, but suddenly see a million things that would go really well with it ;-)Haute Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351503905160552360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728768350034375352.post-88031171738334147102010-02-16T14:04:13.219-06:002010-02-16T14:04:13.219-06:00oh my... that is too wonderful for words! i learne...oh my... that is too wonderful for words! i learned a lot. i'm still in the process of mastering my art in shopping. <br /><br />xx,<br />betz<br /><a href="http://herarmoire.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://herarmoire.blogspot.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561127976746823818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728768350034375352.post-74897412587149964642010-02-15T15:10:55.835-06:002010-02-15T15:10:55.835-06:00Great Pics!

T...I am in love with this post for several reasons. The pictures of all the art work is crazy fabulous. <br />Second, I really agree with you on all points. It's hard for me to go through my closet sometimes because of all the unused stuff I've bought from over the years. It's so wasteful, which is one thing I really hate to call myself. What's worse, is that I buy things that don't fit either; I have a weird body shape (well, no, I just don't have off the rack wearable body), so any dress or coat has to be altered, and I have maybe 20 things that need major alterations if I'm going to wear them and look decent, and not like I'm swimming in my clothing. It's a pain, and I never get around to doing it. But you know what, your post has inspired me to stop doing all that and just try to find pieces that really work with my body right now. it's less wasteful, and I'll actually get use out of my clothing!

First time seeing you with shorter hair but one thing is always the same: YOUR CHARMING SMILE ;)<br />Remember when I was first time in the Louvre to see Mona Lisa I was so disappointed about the small size of it, but like you she has a one-of-a-kind smile!<br /><br />You are soooo right... just to talk about "all the most beautiful clothes that fit me perfectly if only .... yeees... if only ;))<br /><br />Hope the weather is not so bad as it´s here in Germany since weeks and you can enjoy the sunshine... and that your day is filled with lots<br />of sunshine in your heart ;)<br /><br />Sending you million-trillion hugs & kisses!!!<br />MartinaThe Little Fashion Treasuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766705889889333319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728768350034375352.post-30799409303679704472010-02-11T08:49:49.857-06:002010-02-11T08:49:49.857-06:00Love all your art photos.

I love one-hit wonders that don't get worn very often.
