THANKS! I get to be me fashion wise at my new job (well, toned down a little – the mohawk is a fauxhawk at work). I had a good day and thank you for your kindness, excellent and insightful writing and support.

I have been going through a similar process lately. Got a new job (hence my absence from you comment section!) and I needed to figure out which parts of my closet would tranition me well from being a stay at home mom and songwriter for the past two years, into being the office manager at an environmental non profit.

I am going to look up BLW’s ideas. THANKS

Thank you thank you! :-) Now I feel much better on this Monday morning trapped at work doing something I strongly dislike. Yup. I am totally failing the first thing taught by Carter: Be happy yourself.

My own style gurus Stacy & Clinton always say “Dress for the body you have” (i.e. you deserve to feel fabulous now – I mean, seriously, how much more fabulous could you possibly be?).

Oh oh oh! This is such a needed topic! I just keep on buying new clothes as I gain weight. I srly can’t bring myself to look through my closet until I lose weight. Sadly.

I remember being rather impressed by a Parisian friend’s closet in which she had maybe five outfits, but all top rate (and the flair for mixing all the elements up in varied ways along with well chosen accessories)—and how it contrasted with most American closets I’ve seen typically overflowing with things, many never much worn.

As a guy I look up to Einstein who just got seven of the same blue suits and wore a different same same suit each day of the week—never much thinking about what he would wear, yet looking elegant enough and not literally wearing the same thing every day.

I’m not smart enough for one suit though, so I have to decide which suit to wear each day.
