Clothing Optional

I am complete. Wardrobe-wise, anyway. After my shopping spree at Marshall’s last week, I took mental stock of my fall clothes. (I was going to say my fall professional clothes, but, let’s face it, all I have are middle-of-the-road clothes meant for both my professional and casual life.) There’s no article of clothing, except for the perfect little black shift dress (like the little Dolce & Gabbana to the right), that I need. When the temperature starts to dip, I will not be able to utter the phrase “I have nothing to wear.”

 

 

I took stock and here are the numbers.

 

Bottoms:

2-pairs of tan print slacks

2-pairs of black slacks

1-short black skirt

1-long black skirt

2-jersey dresses

1-pair of grey slacks

2-pairs of jeans

1-pair of denim dress slacks

 

Tops:

3- white blouses

2- V-neck tunics

2- pullover sweaters (or, as they say in England, jumpers)

3- cardigans

2-turtlenecks

2-button up blouses in another color besides white

4-camis, 3 black and 1 pink.

 

Jackets:

Green tweed Chanel-esque blazer

Standard black blazer, single breasted

Cropped navy blue trench

Cropped-sleeve black swing jacket

 I am embarrassed by my bounty of riches. Even my accessories overflow (although they’re rather cheap). I’ve reached a closet nirvana yet I’m sad. Now that the journey is near its end, I feel a certain sense of loss. Hmmm…. I’m sure there’s something else I could aspire to buy. The fall issues of the fashion mags are coming out as we speak. Fashion gods, I have faith in you! (This orange shift dress might be a hoot to own.)
