I just discovered polyvore.com a few weeks ago (yes, late on another fashion website’s bandwagon… what else is new?) and have been playing around with making my own sets.
For this installment of the Recession Wardrobe Challenge, I’d like to talk more clothes and less accessories.
Personally, I’ve always been a fan of simple, solid colored articles of clothing. Dark wash jeans, a white t-shirt (or camisole) with a solid cardigan on top is my staple outfit. I find that jeans are so versatile for those “lazy days” when you don’t want to think about coordinating your outfit. Slap on a t-shirt or blouse and 99% of the time you’ll look decent enough to go grocery shopping!
As you can probably tell, I just cannot get enough of pearls. I think they are so simple, elegant and timeless. I pretty much wear pearls with any outfit. Because I can’t leave the house without some sort of jewelry, pearls are the best accessories in terms of their ability to make any outfit look polished.
Today’s lesson: Invest in a pair of jeans and some simple solid tops that will last you through the rest of the recession. Don’t try to keep up with all the trends if that means you’re going to drain your bank account.
