But no....I am stuck in a rut and buy tons of cheap clothes that look awful once they're washed. This is my public declaration to change my ways!!! :) I keep telling myself I will do the same thing and buy only good quality, pricier things.

I'm in love with it. I have a really hard time paying more then target prices for clothes. Mostly its because I can't justify it. Thanks for posting the Boden dress. I’m in love with it.

I tend to shop sales/clerance. If I can only afford to pay $20 for a dress, then I will get it at Macy's, Gap, or another Mid priced store when it is on sale. I don't want it to fall apart no matter how much it costs. For things like basic white/black tank tops (which I buy at least one a year because they get stained/fade) I will go to target.

I love how they describe polka dotted things as "spotty." I asked the English boyfriend what Boden was like in England, and I guess it's targeted at hot women in their 30s, or "yummy mummies." That's a great dress! I just saw the Boden dress.

but i am working on a weight release and the pieces that i desire are definitely taking on a more feminine edge…although i do own a piece from tiffany’s, it was from the upstairs shop and not the highly guarded main floor..i have been buying most of my jewelry from etsy lately..

and since its been negative 10 in chicago for months now, i have been bundled up in layers and hats, so this is refreshing to see…a reminder that its time to spring forward in more ways than one!
