My biggest problem is that I just don't buy clothes for myself anymore. I buy about one pair of shoes every five years, and ditto for jeans. Most of my shirts I get for free one way or another.
It's time to put an end to this situation. My first purchase:
Strangely enough, my first-ever pair of Doc Martens! Had a bit of a row with my wife about them - she's automatically against anything that isn't black. She's like an American goth chick. (She has a pair of black DM's herself.) She's been here too long, doesn't even see the need for accent colors anymore. But the point is I already have a pair of black Skechers boots, in fact I just got them. My five year boots. I'll get a pair of black Dr. Martens at some point, but I don't need them now.
Next up: new jeans and t-shirts.
Excellent! Love 'em. I just got a new pair of Docs, too. I have some black ones but I found some black ones that have red roses embroidered up the sides and I went nuts. I just fell in love. I'm wearing them right now. I never mind spending a little extra $$$ on Docs since they last years. I like those burgundy ones, you just can't go wrong with those boots.
ReplyDeleteNice Docs! Makes me think I need to buy some. I have no idea where my old ones went.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I am feeling the same thing as you. My philosophy these days is to just not look dasai. I've almost given up!
