Another fashion myth that needs debunked is that you must always match your accessories--specifically your belt/bag/shoes. While matching them can look posh and put together, mixing and matching them can also look chic and put together.
I mentioned recently that I am putting myself on another shopping ban. I put myself on one this summer and it worked really well! I didn't even have a problem with it at all.
The truth is, after my ban was over this summer I went a little wild with shopping. It got to the point where every paycheck brought a promise of several fun little packages and suddenly I found myself with a ton of new clothes that I haven't even worn yet.
Not to mention . . . I hit a massive trifecta in thrifting last weekend with my sister. It was one of those perfect shopping trips. If you thrift, you're probably familiar. Originally I had gone with her under the promise that I would only spend the $10 gift cards that I had won on Instagram AND that I would only buy clothes that would work for my new office.
I had several things on my wish list from my ban. This included mint
heels, pointed toe loafers and plaid trousers. And out of nowhere I
found all of them in one thrift trip! It happens once in a while. I've taken this as a sign. I now have crossed off all of the items on my wish list. And I have a huge pile of clothes just waiting for me to wear them.
So here we are again. And I honestly feel fine with it. And not to mention, I have an office to decorate. And that is really exciting! And after my birthday, we can revisit my shopping habits. Until then, let the remixing begin!
