Not only does it save me some money (not a huge amount because my annual clothing budget is $120), but I've also decided I won't be shopping at certain shops in the near future due to a matter of principle, which makes it a little more difficult to shop. But it ties in with my goal of "thoughtful spending", so I am fine with it.<br /><br />I do like my skirts a bit longer! I find them more comfortable and I am at a stage in life where comfort is important. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-80263059156986153682017-02-04T12:32:51.964-08:002017-02-04T12:32:51.964-08:00Thank you, Judy.

I've looked for plaid wool fabric at the store, to make myself a similar skirt, but the fabric they had felt more like flannel and not wool. Of course, I haven't been to the fabric store in over a year.<br /><br />Congratulations on finishing the file cabinet! I, too, want to work on my clothes closet - I'll join you! My problem is, I don't know if I'll stay at this weight, continue to lose, or gain weight again! So, I don't know if I should keep things that are too big now, or do I hold on to them (like I held on to some of the too small things which are starting to fit, again, now?) Such decisions!

As for maintaining the current size, I don't know if I will be able to maintain my current weight and size or for how long. I seem to be still losing weight. I don't want to buy a lot of new clothes right now, in case I continue to lose weight; and I don't want to get rid of a lot of my current clothes in case I gain it all back! :o Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-58601627462510353942017-02-03T17:12:59.280-08:002017-02-03T17:12:59.280-08:00You've done well and I note you still have oth...You've done well and I note you still have other possible combinations you have figured out! You will find those replacement black pants one of these days and when you do find the right ones, maybe you might consider buying two pairs if you think you can maintain the same size that you are now.

Not that I am a big spender; the measly amounts I spend at the shops won't make much of a difference, if any, to their bottom lines, but it makes me feel better if I don't support their businesses. :)<br /><br />Hope you, too, have a lovely day, Nathalie.

I used to have 5 or 6 different pairs of pants and an assortment of tops I could wear with them - mix and match; practically all my tops went with each of my pants. Occasionally, I'd wear a skirt to change things up a bit. Dressing for work was easy - I didn't have to think! But, since I lost weight, those pants are too big and I haven't been able to buy new replacement pants, yet. I'm digging in the back of the closet, among those items I kept from my thinner days, to see what I can put together. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-15197625185810488822017-02-03T04:40:26.066-08:002017-02-03T04:40:26.066-08:00The outfits look great.
