New H&M Outerwear (67)

Took an hour lunch today to go to a new H&M grand opening ! I used to drive about 15 minutes to this other one but it was so tiny and there wasn’t much interesting in the mall it was in. Now I have one right down the road! WHOOT! AND I must say I’m loving it compared to the other ones in the DC area. Even compared to the Tyson’s Corner and Georgetown ones, this one carries more my style of clothing. (THANK GOD!)

Mike took a long lunch to go too and we were among the first 100 people in line which = freebie score! I got 50$ worth in gift certificates plus a t-shirt, bag, and umbrella. The lady standing next to me was kind enough to trade my M size for her S! It was a lot of fun because the other people in line were pretty cool and nice to talk to. Plus Godiva was passing out free dark chocolate truffles, hahaaa

I ended up getting 2 new outwears! First, a parka with fur! I’ve been wanting one of these for a couple of years now, and I got it for $20 (originally 70$!) I also got a new blazer. I have one already but I liked the fabric for this one plus it’s pure black (mine has pink pinstripes) and it’s longer than my current one.

Already in my closet (51)

It’s so cold! and rainy
Sometimes it really seems autumn only last 2 weeks in this stinkin’ city
Because of that I went through all my winter clothes the other day. Had to see what fit, what was hopeless, and what I could successfully shrink. Looks like I’ve got a bunch of basics to re-buy Which means less to spend on trendy winter items.

So I started to photoshop together a sort of lookbook that I’m gonna print out! I noticed that I already have certain key items found in some magazine coordinates! So I can recreate some of these outfits already without feeling the need to buy something new.
Very helpful!

I’m hoping it’ll curb my desire to spend, spend, spend on new, trendy winter clothes. Instead I can just flip through and and feel satisfied with all the outfits I can already piece together. I do know I could just CUT OUT the outfits from magazines…. but in my eyes, cutting one of my mags up is like blasphemy!
