To shop or not to shop

I have a love/hate relationship with shopping.  I either cant get enough or I don't want to be near a store at all. 

One thing I have been much better at lately is asking myself,  "do you love it?"  If I don't, it stays in the store.  I grew tired of giving away clothes with tags still on them to Goodwill.  I had an exploding closet with nothing to wear and outfits that were just boring.

I will buy trendy pieces but I will not spend a lot on them.  I usually will mix the trendy pieces in with my higher end pieces.

 I am trying to add more color to my wardrobe.  I always buy black.  In the beauty industry, black is the staple.  I work one day a week, why am I still always buying black? 

I am taking baby steps.  My closet and jewelry drawer are looking a little more colorful these days.

I did buy a few black pieces as you will see. Old habits die hard I guess.

I found all of these pieces at forever 21.  I love big earrings and statement necklaces.  Its either a big earring day or a big necklace day.  I never wear both at the same time.  I would rather wear my costume jewelry than my good jewelry lately for some reason. 

I found this at Burlington Coat Factory.  It has become one of my favorites.

I found all of these items at Marshall's. I have found some unique items at Marshall's over the years.  Marshall's is great if you are looking for anything cashmere.  They have great prices.

It is another rainy week here in my suburb. I am trying to find things to do so that I don't have a "love" week with shopping.  Wish me luck!
