For various reasons, I've really not shopped much at all in the last 6 weeks and you know what, I really don't miss it. I feel like it has afforded me a chance to be much pickier about what makes the final cut into my wardrobe. More than that, I've been really enjoying what I have. And now, rather than feeling like I must respond to every '30 % off final sale' offer in my email inbox, I am enjoying thinking through what I might actually acquire that will be useful.

The truth is, though, that really I am finding I don't need much. I'm enjoying what I have and even as I look ahead into the Fall and Winter, I see very little save for a purse that I will need.

It's a good feeling because it's a much calmer way to approach adding new pieces into my wardrobe. And, my wallet is very thankful!
