eBay Sale

http://comictan.com/most-organized-closet/

With a new season almost actually upon us (er...summer where'd you go?), my wardrobe has had it's annual clean out. Alas, its untrammelled depths bore items almost unrecognisable to me. Given that I've worn most of them only once if at all, this does not surprise me. With a vow never to impulse buy again...ever (promise, really), I've added these to my eBay store. Have a goo and see if there's something that takes your fancy. Hey, if you don't like it, you know where I live...

P.S. A few things I've learned during the cull....

1. My closet can be divided into three parts: hopeful, practical and delusional.  

2.  A size 10 is not a size 12; nor is a size 7 shoe a size 8. I somehow manage to transpose these numbers.
3.  Despite a healthy selection of shoes, I manage to consistently wear the same three pairs.
4.  My understanding of 'basics' can be likened to that of Pythagoras' theorem - theoretically sound but practically imposible.
5. I still need more space...

Modern Vintage

I popped into Oxfam Vintage the other day on George's Street for a bit of a goo. Low and behold, I found this gorgeous floral number with pussy bow detail - quite the box ticker, eh? I'm not really a pink kinda gal but the knife pleats create a more structured look and there are lovely cameo hues of dove grey and fuchsia that make it less girlie girlie. It has to be said, this iPhone pic doesn't do it quite the justice it deserves, especially since I snagged it for a whopping €10. Bargain! Nice one...

Guilt-Free Shopping

I'm such a good Catholic sometimes. Ain't no way in hell (excuse the pun) I'll ever shift my guilt complex - however lapsed I may become. Case in point - I've been lusting over this Armand Basi asymmetric sweater dress for a while now. Given my size zero bank balance, I've been loathe to splurge lest I incur the wrath of my bank manager. Being the clever clogs that I am, I've been flogging my clobber on eBay - most of it only worn once or twice - and vowing to rethink my shopping habits. Having the added liquidity to facilitate bigger buys means I don't have to addle my brain with complex swag math (1 dress = 4 nights out; or 4 month Butler's coffee habit). That my friends is the true definition of a 'win win' situation.
