If you know me in real life, you know I’m a pretty simple gal when it comes to clothes. I prefer to think of it as “classic” rather than “dated” when I realize I have clothes in my closet with a lifespan older than my kids. Being budget-minded makes it really hard to keep up with the fashion times. That’s why I love scarves. They’re all the rage right now and can dress up and revitalize an outfit for under $20. Basically accessories seem to be the way to go when making basics in your wardrobe stretch to meet the demands of the fashion world.*
*Whether we should be striving to be “in fashion” is another discussion for another time.

PS I'm glad you enjoy scarves! I've never been very good at knowing how to wear them 😉
I was talking with my husband about clothes the other day and he mentioned someone he works with who always dresses to the 9s. I was driving that morning and saw a gal walk by my car in fasionable jeans, a white shirt, hoodie–and tall red stiletto heels. What I thought about was that it wouldn't even enter my mind to wear such heels at this point in my life, which is okay with me. When my husband told me about that gal at his work, I responded that I've realized it takes a huge investment to dress like that. (It had crossed my mind that I was sure the gal's heels cost quite a bit.) Clothing isn't what I want to invest in. I want to look nice, but I don't want to sacrifice other things we need for that. Unfortunately, the only shoes that fit me are Merrells! 🙁 So, I look for them at Marshalls and on sale. 🙂
