I
have to admit to being really fed up this week.
I seem to have come to an abrupt halt with sorting
out a new wardrobe I can honestly say that Ive
never returned so many items to the stores before,
as I have recently. I was really disappointed with
the spring and summer fashion this year. I cant seem
to find a single thing in either the right shape,
right colour or right material. If I see a dress I
like its in the wrong colour, if the colours right
then the length is wrong.
I know we cant all like every collection that appears
in the stores but I dont seem to like anything at
the moment. I know the simple answer is not to buy
anything but the annual holiday is looming and I really
would like to have at least a couple of new pieces
to wear. The most annoying thing is that I keep seeing
other people in fabulous outfits but somehow they
seem to allude me. I see a TV presenter in a certain
pair of trousers and think perfect! Theyre the ones
I want! But try tracking them down. And when I asked
a friend where she get her fabulous beaded handbag
from it was something I picked up on holiday somewhere.
For weeks now Ive been looking for a cute little
dress to go over my new must have white trousers
but again nothing seemed quite right. And yet when
I turned up to a girlie get-together this week there
were three friends, all in cute little dresses over
trousers, all looking fantastic. It all seems to point
to a lack of talent shopping on my part at the moment,
perhaps its just a phase Im going through or maybe
Ive got hormone trouble.

The
problem is Im a buy-things-to-match shopper so I now have
a drawer full of non-returnable jewellery that I bought
to go with all the outfits that Ive returned. Ive for
three pairs, no less or turquoise earrings but Ive returned
all the turquoise outfits I bought as the colour really
doesnt suit me. Ive a complete set of surf-style leather
beads and bangles but since Ive returned the slashed jeans
and tie-dye top that I intended to wear them with I dont
suppose theyll see the light of day either. Honestly, if
this carries on I can see myself doing a car boot sale of
brand new and unloved, unworn accessories just in time to
start the process all over again for the new winter collections!
