It could be the recession that's making me feel the need to put the brakes on unnecessary spending (I guess I don't really NEED those YSL boots for $1000...) or that fact that if I'm really honest, even before the recession I could never really afford them. Ironic how I actually lived better (materialistically anyways) when I was a student and living off my parents than now when I'm actually making my own money. Sadness.
So I've been trying to get creative with how to update my wardrobe for maximum impact on look, minimum impact on wallet. I've definitely been itching to make some sort of drastic change equivalent to last year's teal locks (I miss you green hair but you are just too high maintenance for me). I thought I'd be satiated by a perm. But..well, I look the same, just curlier. I bought the-house-is-burning-fire-engine-red lipstick thinking that would do the trick but it's hard to look normal with bright red lips at a 10 am meeting. (The lipstick has been restricted to post sunset hours). My next attempt is to play around with accessories - hats and headbands. Partly because I sweat Blair (love you biatch!) and Olivia (hate you but you're still hot) and like to delude myself in thinking that a headband will 1) not make me look like a 30+yr-old-trying-to-be-young-looking 2)make me look like a different person. If this doesn't succeed I will surely go buy those YSL booties I've been eyeing (I will gladly accept any offers of free meals at this time even if it is Grey's or McD's - beggars can't be choosy!).
But can I just say one thing? Even my taste in cheap headgear is expensive. That third headband is $70. The pearl one is over $200. I wonder if I can make them myself..
Oh wait. I can. Look what sells on http://www.net-a-porter.com/ for $150:
YUP. YOU KNIT YOUR OWN SCARF. AND FOR A MEASLY $150 (not including S+H + TAX). Are you kidding me????
Oh and who am I kidding. So which shoes should I get? :)
i see you more in the green ones.
