Do you ever feel like there just isn't enough?
For some, that might be time and for others, that might be money (and probably for the vast majority of us, it's a little bit of both - or a lot a bit). Maybe there's not enough time in the day to sleep/get the chores done/make even a dent on work at the office/study for classes (or write witty or naively awful blog posts at 3 in the morning).
But for me, right now, I just feel like I don't have enough stuff. (My husband might have a heart attack if he reads this, so we'll just keep that gem of information between us). And yes, even I realize the ridiculousness of that statement. I'm a 23-year-old who has an addiction to collecting stuff to the point that you might consider it TLC Hoarders worthy.
Ok, honestly, I'm not that bad. Really, I'm not that bad. But sometimes I just feel like there isn't enough.
So what kind of stuff is it that I'm missing? I'm talking about wardrobe pieces, of course!
I have a lot of clothing and a lot of purses and way too many shoes (I just sinned) and just quite possibly too much jewelry. But the fact that I get up 15 minutes early every morning to stare at my closet and just feel like I have nothing to wear and end up spending 45 minutes trying to get dressed because nothing looks right and I don't have the right shoes/accessories to match that skirt or I don't feel like this top is quite as flattering as I thought but then change my mind because for crying out loud, I work with engineers meaning I work in an office full of 60+ year old men who wouldn't know what a peep toe pump was if their failing bridge depended on it, which if you know anything about engineers is darn near more precious than their beating hearts is a thought that's been downright plaguing me lately. It's a power struggle between my logical head and my irrational heart strings. (However my 'logical' brain has been leading me down a less than rational road lately). Have you ever just wished you had more shoes? Or even if you just lusted after finding a perfect pair of amazing shoes that just seem to make an everyday outfit sing? Yes, I can admit it, I do that. A lot. This coming from the girl who owns 90+ pairs of shoes - so I can admit how pathetic it sounds.
But haven't you ever been struck with a sudden lightning bolt of outfit inspiration and pure genius only to realize that you don't have the right skinny belt to put over that oh-so-cute cardi that just happens to be a perfect contrast to those booties you just bought?! Sigh.
Honestly, there just isn't enough.
I can't get enough of skinny belts lately, or the color navy (especially when paired with bright, sunny yellow), and I'm absolutely LUSTING after cardigans and fun blazers as fall is fast approaching (gag). I guess at the end - or beginning - of the day, when I look in my humble closet absolutely chocked full of clothes, I feel a tad bit disappointed with all the basics I feel I'm lacking. Belts, basic shoes, skirts, pants, tops, dresses, etc. And the basics are the hardest to find.
What are your wardrobe staples and basics that you couldn't live without? Any suggestions on what I should be coveting (and when I should just cut the crap and actually purchase these little babies to add to my stupidly big wardrobe)?
Since I have been so addicted to fashion blogs as of late (thanks, Holly!), I decided to start one of my own to chronicle my fashion journey, get your opinions on my dos (and please, PLEASE don't ever do that agains), and speak openly and freely about what I'm loving (and loathing) in fashion. Because, let's face it, I'm a pretty straightforward girl with a new set of sassy bangs who knows what she likes/loves/hates and who has a whole lot of opinions to share with the entire group of 0 followers of this new project.
So here it is - My Sassy Bangs Blog.
