I'm a follower of Omaha's own Retail Bitch, and while I always enjoy her blog, I'm especially enjoying her Stuff I Own series (today's post is about a sweater in her "perfect gray." Do you know what she's talking about? I do, and the only exact perfect gray shirt I've ever found is a worn-out tee that was my dad's when he was in college. It is so thin that you can actually see through the shoulders, so I wear it very sparingly these days, while always keeping an eye out for a replacement perfect gray top.)
But ANYWAY. It's interesting to see what other people really love, which pieces become wardrobe staples, what they were super excited to find but maybe haven't ever actually worn.
Some of my very, very favorites:
- Kate Szabone rose gold hoops (which I have worn almost every day since I received them for Christmas in 2010. Thanks, Sarah!)
- Levi's 535 skinnies (these fit so well and I have worn them so much that I'm on my fourth pair).
- A giant, sheer, pink, red, blue and black scarf with a subtle feather pattern. I don't know the brand, and I don't remember the name of the boutique where I bought it, but I have worn it about a hundred times in the past year.
- A vintage porcelain and seed bead cuff that I got a thrift store when I was in college. I've only worn this a few times, but just looking at it makes me happy.
- My very very favorite vintage Coach bag, purchased at a second-hand store for $15 five years ago (that's it in the photo, against the backdrop of the giant oft-worn scarf -- I needed something to cover up my messy cubicle!) I have carried this bag with jeans and cowboy boots, with heels and slim ankle-length pants, with just about every dress in my closet. It's the perfect size (about 12 inches wide and 8 inches deep), a great color, and it's in good shape -- but not so good that I feel as though using it will ruin it.
What are your favorite things in your wardrobe? What do you wear the most? What are you saving for a special occasion?
