Laundry List Thursday: Bluefly

You’re 5’9 and 115 pounds (ok I lied, 118) and you live in the third world. Let’s say you only have a $5,000* budget to create a 7-day daytime wardrobe from scratch and you can only go to one shop, in this case, Bluefly . What would you get?

* Taxes not included. Are you fucking kidding me?

Right. Who knew my little laundry list ended up being a ‘shopping analysis’ experiment? I’m actually writing this bit AFTER I picked my selections on Bluefly .

My goal was to create a little 7-day daytime look based on my favourite things, the things I find nice… pieces that I can actually wear myself (me silly not Granny Bee!) blah blah blah.

Obviously I rediscovered/reinforced a lot of things I already know about my habits. HELLO FASHION VICTIM! No doubt about that.

Here’s some of my observations:

1) I’m an impulse shopper. I buy everything I like in a snap WITHOUT thinking about it. I know a lot of people shop for things TO INCORPORATE what they already have in their closet.
2) I spent half of my budget on the "first" day. Look at Monday for instance. Eeek!
3) Scarves are fantastic — you can use them as a necktie, a belt, something on the head, yaddi yaddi yadda.
4) I still love my skinny jeans. Even before EVERYONE started wearing em. Always have, always will.
5) There’s lots of black, black, black in my laundry list.
6) The logo a gogo in me is gone.
7) Is it just me or is there a severe lack of color?
8) I totally forgot socks. and underwear.
9) Boots? in third world heat? Who cares. . I love me boots. Always have, always will.
10) Take note of the sleeves. Back in my day, the only thing I wore are tank tops and tees. I’m too fat now and self-conscious of my morbidly obese arms.
11) Most of the clothes are women’s. I may be fat but I still couldn’t fit into men’s sizes.
12) The Hermes handbag really took a huge part of my budget. Well… one good bag is better than 7 mediocre bags. Yes?

Last but not the least…

God damn $5,000 is NOT enough!! Hahaha!
