Hello 2012 and Hello New Wardrobe and New Wants

It's a new year and I am psyched. I started working again and I love my new job. It definitely is a struggle; balancing kid and a full time job but in the end it will all work out and I will have enough money for his therapy. Now I just need to find the time to work on projects and add glitter to things.

Now that I am working, I've had to do a complete wardrobe overhaul. For the ten months I was at home, I generally lived in jersey dresses and leggings with sweatahs. Comfy and practical. But now that I am in front of people all day, I figure it is time to forgo the elastic waistbands and go for something more tailored.

Two weeks ago I went on a shopping binge at Forever 21 and H&M and was able to stock up on some office basics; blouses and pants. But the one thing I forgot to get was the three quarter length sleeved wrap dress in black and another colour and maybe one in a print. I lived in these in the past. So in the next couple of weeks I will be a hunting again. Exhibit A

Now, I'm in the mood for Spring. And maybe it is because we haven't had snow until yesterday. I will allow snow for the next four weeks and then we better be havin some melty action happening because by then I will have purchased a trench. This elusive item has been on my list for years. There is this one here that I want so badly that I would gladly give up my first name for a month and allow myself to be called Stumpy or Chesty La Rue... Either/or. Jillian Lewis Trench.. Mah Gawd. Simply Gorgeous!

But alas, I might just have to settle for one from H&M. Trenches are awesome.

When choosing clothes, I try to keep in mind a colour scheme. I seemed to have gravitated to a lot of camel coloured items this year. Not sure it is my best colour though so I try and pair it with another colour....Feel like I need to embrace burgundy and royal blue more- those be my best colours. If you aren't sure what your colours are then ask a good friend to help you out. According to my mother, who has done my colours, I am a summer. The best way to find out for sure is to Google how or ask me. I'll tell you.
