Focus on identifying what attracts you to the clothing. Is it color? Shape? Texture? Specific details? The way items are combined into an outfit? Are there consistent themes, like you love pointy collars or shiny fabric or anything that suggests "English country house"?<BR/><BR/>Understanding what you love is going to help you be more efficient in finding the real garments. This is also potentially a help in budgeting -- as you get a handle on your "look," you should start to get a feel for where you want to concentrate your spending to get the most bang for the buck.drwendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583869876969470655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-7540372398179313192007-11-04T14:14:00.000-07:002007-11-04T14:14:00.000-07:00Think of it like the style tray concept, right? - ...Think of it like the style tray concept, right? - as visual stimulus, rather than shopping. Though I hear you about the "don't know where to look" thing - hard unless you're already the sort of person with extensive experience and nuanced opinions relating to all the major fashion mags. <BR/><BR/>And yes, chocolate always counts.

Tabi? Cleo? Those are my stand-bys. (Easier now that I've lost a bit of weight.) I also occasionally find something at Alia, although it runs to things that are more suited to my mother's generation.<BR/><BR/>How about Suzanne's? Do you have that there? Once in a while I see something there. (The one in the mall further away from me has better clothes than the one in the mall I'm usually at, so you have to pick and choose...)scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.com
