Shop My Closet

I'm having a little blog sale here this morning. I've been slowly cleaning out my closet for the last month, reevaluating every single item. It's quite amazing (scary, really) how many items no longer fit me. Size 0?! Really? When was my behind ever that small? I think I kept holding on to some of these pieces hoping someday I could squeeze myself in them again. Let's face it though, despite my efforts my derriere only continues to expand - not shrink. It's time to let the 'skinny' clothes go (and a few other unused pieces too). This is round one of my listings. More to come next week! All the items are available on eBay. If you see anything that could get some love in your closet don't hesitate to email me with any questions you may have.

It may be officially fall but the temps in Chicago have been surprisingly warm. To take advantage of these last sunny days, I've been wearing lot's of delicate fabrics in bright happy colors, before they all will be stashed away until spring time. I always  have a difficult time saying good bye to summer and try to stretch warm weather wardrobe as far into fall as possible. It's my way of holding on to a season I love the most, before we're buried in snow for at least three long months.
