Friends Chat Thread: Wardrobe, Fun, and Whatever

[papertiger]

Has anyone ever purchased clothing from the French brand Agnes B? I wandered in today after admiring the mannequins in the window for the last few days, and accidentally came out with 5 new items! The fabrics they use are very comfortable and lightweight, and the style is that simple Parisian elegance/effortlessly chic look.

This jacket is Agnes B. It's unlined pure cotton and I wear it in the Summer when it's hot but I need a jacket because I can wash it in the machine (and there are not many jackets I can say that about). I would say their range is not made for taller women.

Where did you get the glass cabinet?

It’s an Ikea Detolf. I saw them in Ikea for fifty euros each and thought that would be really neat, so I checked the local secondhand listings and found 4 of them within a 3 day period that were ready for pickup, and I paid about 14 euros each on average for them, so for about the cost of one, I got 4! Two of them have purses on display, in front of a window (perfect use for that wall since I want to let the natural light through but I don’t want to stand naked in front of it because my neighbor’s could see me from their yard—now my purses obscure the view into my closet), and one put inside my closet for jewelry and another one for lingerie.

Doesn't hurt to take a couple of 'extra' scarves. Shoes maybe not, but a couple of scarves is practically negligible .

Actually, I have decided to delete 2 from the pic, and add a different one in.
We are traveling carry-on only, so one pair of shoes on my feet, one pair of flats in suitcase.

Thanks everyone!! This week was just orientation (still pretty exhausting having so much information thrown at you), and starting Monday I dive head first into work. It's been a fun week of reconnecting with colleagues with whom I interned last year, but it's still hard to believe that I have my first real grown up job!

Not to mention your first real grown up paycheck!

Not to mention your first real grown up paycheck!

That too! Which also comes with a lot of real grown up responsibilities! Health insurance contributions, 401k...my head is spinning!
