WOW! Time sure has flown!
It has been an eventful 7 (?) weeks spurred on by changes, visitors and ....spring cleaning!
Yes, I started early this year. Was going thru DD and DS's wardrobe, taking out all the clothes that are too short, small etc and got overzealous. Started getting in to my own clothes and had pretty good time chucking things out.
And of course, VANITY took over. Not usually a follower of fashion, I decided that I needed to look my age and yet stylish....hmmm, pretty difficult considering that the retail market is still overflowing with casual, teen to late 20s garb.
Then I did something out of character (for me at least!). Had heard about the personal shoppers/image consultants at dept stores and decided I'd get an appointment with one.
80 minutes later, I emerged ... with a lighter wallet and face glowing with excitement like when I've been very very naughty. I did WARN DH before going!
Bought 4 items (Marc Jacobs, Morrisey and Table Eight) and I must say, I feel better wearing things that actually fit me! Went round to show my GF the items I had purchased a few days later and all of them were gone!
Which makes me think that whatever stock that goes into sales must not be good. I'm so over sales binges now.
The experience?
The personal shopper I had was excellent! She took in what I liked/disliked, my budget and gave me pointers etc and most importantly, an honest opinion. What I liked about it also was that there was no extra charge for her time and I wasn't obliged to buy anything:). Tried over 30 items and she picked some things that I would have never thought could look good on me or looked like nothing on the hangers.
She deserves 5 stars for excellent service!
Will post more about what's been happening!

Glad to see you back- I think it's a good sign of being normal when we sometimes let life take precedence over blogging! But hope you were still able to keep knitting.
hey there stranger!
ooh, i would love to clean out the closet too. but hubby is such a packrat, he would get upset. i've never had a personal shopper before, must be so much fun!
I'd love to have the whole personal shopper experience.. Hmm.. maybe after I shrink into whatever post-partum size I will be, huh. :)
I have been wondering where you have been?
The shopping experience sounds great, I HATE clothes shopping but I find that I am at a difficult age whereas I am too old for the 'teen garb' but not old enough yet for the 'middle age' section but really there is not much in between :(
