Today I took my 19 years old daughter downtown to go shopping for a better basic wardrobe for her. She has been studying and working very hard lately, preparing for and saving up money for college. Hardly no time for leisure and fun at all! Her wardrobe was a mess and a sorry sight, so we took everything out, culled 2/3rds and she was left with a few functional garments and some considerable holes. So, today we remedied that. She has a beautiful hourglass figure, and when the fit is right, she looks really stunning IMHO. Her style preferences are classic, fitted silhouettes with a retro streak. We had a rare mother-and-daughter day together, where I got to be the stylist, but she made all the final decisions, of course. A very happy day to cherish when she leaves home in a few months.

We bought:
A new bra, perfectly fitted
Black tights x 2
Two slips, one black, one nude
Three tank tops: Black, cobalt, olive (H&M)
Ballet flats in metal (#1, Clarks)
A charcoal skinny jean (Levi's High rise)
An indigo blue shirt in thin cotton (#2, Zara)
A patterned sundress in palm green (#3, Fever) http://www.feverdesigns.co.uk/.....green.html

The sun dress made her eyes shine, and was was the cherry on top, but I think we did very well altogether. Now she has a quite versatile and functional little wardrobe, suitable for her age and lifestyle. I must say that shopping for her felt even better than finding great stuff for myself.
