Apologies for the general crappiness of this photo, it was taken at night just after I arrived home from work! Recently a reader asked me what prompted me to begin posting outfit shots; well the whole point of these outfit posts was to document the evolution of my own style, and since I think it's fun to see what other bloggers wear, I, in a rather narcissistic way thought maybe others would be curious to see what I wear! If magazines are for the fashion fantasies where we can drool over the thousand dollar dresses and the jewels, and the purses, then blogs I think are a realm for reality. Blogs are where we can see how real life people dress and real life people dress from the mall. It's sad, but true. One of my philosophies for this blog is that you have to make the best of what you've got at hand, whether it be in terms of looks, finances, whatever. I hope that by doing these posts, it's an online journal for myself, and of what I was thinking when I put a certain outfit together and it inspires me to try to rework my wardrobe in various ways, rather than doing what I usually do, which was to reach in and grab the first thing I touched. I just hope it's not too boring to read!

On another note, I've noticed that I do favour certain items in my closet. I really miss shopping and could use some fresh items in my closet, but even though April, and the end of my shopping ban, are fast approaching, I'm not sure how many items I will allow myself to indulge in. What sort of must-have items are you recommending for spring??
