My friend Brityn always has on the perfect outfit. I've been getting the itch... it's summertime, it's my birthday, it's Mother's Day... I was ready to shop. So I asked Brityn to go shopping with me. Best idea I've had in a long time. It addition to having a blast I feel like I ended up with a handful of key pieces that I'm not going to hate on myself as soon and I wear them once or twice and the honeymoon period is over.
I put a lot of pressure on her as my chosen personal shopper. And with a few spare hours at work, her bullet list of what to look for turned into a personal essay by Brityn on how to plan a wardrobe. I thought it was AH-mazing so I thought I would share.
(If the scribd doc doesn't work I can email it to you.)
Shopping 101
So how did I do? I spent a little under $70 and got a cardigan on sale from Nordstrom for $11. I've decided these are the best cardis out there and I now have three colors.
$30 skinny jeans also from Nord's. (Taking the plunge.)
A black pencil skirt from H&M and a cool rugby stripe top also from H&M. (Blue and white stripes, I'm sure you'll see it on the blog once I decide to start taking pictures of myself again.)

That is the best cardigan. I would so love a personal shopper. I don't trust my fashion instinct at all. PS. You looked hot in the skinny jeans :)
