kyrielle: painterly drawing of a white woman with large dark-blue-framed glasses, hazel eyes, brown hair, and a suspicious lack of blemishes (Default)

For a long time, I didn't think I had enough clothing, although the closets and drawers were stuffed.

Then I read somewhere that I should only buy it if I love it and think I'll wear it constantly.

Ironically, that coincided with my pregnancy, and I had to buy things I didn't love because...well...it was that, be hideously uncomfortable, or go to work with no pants. Really, only one option.

But I have found that it's not the number of clothes I have total that counts, but the number of clothes I have and love. I feel like I don't have enough when I can't dress without "settling" for something that's okay but not really right. So I still shop for more clothes but I'm very, very particular. (And a whole slew of generic clothes are due for a purge....)
