This is turning out to be more interesting than I thought. First things first, I still haven’t bought any clothes and as the days go by I’m progressively more convinced I don’t need any more, and can absolutely go without shopping the rest of this year. (Today I took a never-before-worn corduroy blazer to work, ended up not wearing it cos it wasn’t cold enough).
But I did accessorize differently today. I usually wear gold jewelry or long earrings when I wear shirts to office, but today I wore an oxidized silver choker that I brought back to Atlanta in June. I realize this is of course partly cos I own new jewelry and love accessorizing, but partly because I have to mix and match if I’m going to reuse the pieces in my wardrobe.
Three people at work complimented my necklace today, and so I now have three new acquaintances in my office building (only one of them I had a long conversation with). I’m often told that I have good taste – not a humblebrag but a true brag 😛 – and that’s cos a lot of what I wear is chosen with care cos I enjoy it so, but the novelty of a compliment never wears off.
Apparently this one decision I made is a gift that keeps on giving!
