I’m at that point, when the season is changing, everyone seems to be wearing the cutest outfits ever, and I feel like I have nothing to wear and keep feeling inadequate in my blah-still-stuck-in-winter outfits at work each day. And yet, I keep procrastinating on spring shopping because I also want to save money for trips and our apartment makeover (more on that), and because I basically want to replace everything in my closet. Ever been there? But I finally realized that all this stress isn’t worth it and decided it’s time to bite the bullet and invest in some key pieces that I’ll be excited to wear (and re-wear), because every morning just isn’t worth the nothing-to-wear tears. So here’s what’s on the top of my list now — the key items I’ve determined are necessary to freshen up my look right now — without blowing all my summer vaca/redecorating/rain day money. (Baby steps, right?).
