Oh, and I am SO a list person. Right now I have a grocery store list, a Target list, a packing list for our Belgium trip, a personal to-do list, and a work to-do list.
But clothes shopping? Nope.
I am such an emotional shopper and dresser, that my typically over-analytical, over-planning self takes a backseat. Sure, I will have a little wishlist in my head of things I'd like to find, but I rarely set out thinking, "today I'm going to shop for a pair of jeans" for example. I'm more of an explorer when I shop -- I just see what's out there that grabs me.
There are exceptions, when I discover a wardrobe hole, but it's usually very occasion-specific: a dress for an event, cold-weather items for a trip, a swimsuit, gear for running or biking, etc. Or it's for a basic item -- last year I went on the search for the "perfect" lightweight white sweater, and lately I've been keeping an eye out for a great replacement for my white silk blouse that has developed yellow stains (found a good contender at BCBG). Oh, and socks that don't slide down into my boots.
