I already have some money put on the side, so I think I have enough saved up for two quality items. And I already have a Tumblr, plus about a million folders on my computer that I'll have to organize in order to see what I really need to buy.
Right now I think I need a little black dress. I'm craving one and I know I would wear it a lot - I wear skirts and dresses almost everyday! I already have two great spring jackets, one is a recent buy, a denim jacket from ASOS which is amazing quality, and an olive green parka which I got in last year's sale and absolutely love. I did try on another parka with the trendy leather sleeves, but it didn't suit me and I figured it was for the best.
Do you have any suggestions on what else I should get?
spring sounds like a good idea. what about the things you need for work ... some good comfortable shoes, & a nice skirt or slacks. white tops i think should be fairly inexpensive--i usually get Ts, preferably with some sort of detail, for less than $50. if you can get them in a relaxed fit, that seems to help. i actually have one that will be going into its 3rd season this year, which is practically a miracle
