Great idea about booking the 5 lesson horseriding course to ease back into it. Can you post a link or photos for this great riding school? I may give it a go myself....btw great shoes, yes a simple outfit would look sublime...
we all need basics...I just used a 30%offcoupon to get these booties, I had to have them and my size was the only one left
...I think I need to calm down now
Hey, you aren't the only one...I just used a 20%off to grab a loose HLang sweater I was eyeing for summer...I think I passed my one ish a month this month, oh dear

I wouldn't think wearing the same blazer 1-2x a week is too much, especially since you're in public service and "people aren't exactly fashion forward 90% of the time"
Mix in your older jacket on days that you don't have meetings/have to make an appearance so you're still getting wear out of it but won't be as self-conscious of how you look. Could you roll up the sleeves a little or belt it to "fake fit"? Good job on continuing to get fit!

So rock your favorite new blazer whenever you feel like wearing it!!Placebo, great jacket and I love tees by a wang - well not the hang washing part.
I bought a pair of 60s vintage earrings this month - but I'm not counting those and some Burberry rain boots that may be going back. Still hunting for the perfect low pair.
I'm struggling with how many suit jackets I need for my new job. I tend to mix jackets and pants and cardigans but people here dress up more. So I'm wearing more jackets. But I've lost some weight and some just aren't as flattering. How much repeating is too much? Like I would be happy wearing my black helmut Lang jacket 1-2x a week and not wearing my other black jacket which has gotten big. Is that too often? I should add I work in the government and people aren't exactly fashion forward 90% of the time....
Well, I was hoping for a zero-purchase May, but I saw some black Skechers sneakers similar to these at TJ Maxx and thought I was getting a deal at $35:

Mine are more black than the ones in this pic. They looked pretty perfect and I have wanted to replace my black sneakers since they wore out years ago. They came with extra white shoelaces. I may try to find some black shoelaces so I can wear them with anything. When I want them to be "fun" I'll wear the blue or white shoelaces. The blue goes with my new tote!
I know technically it's still April, so maybe I can still have a zero-purchase May even though I botched March and April with numerous purchases, not all "designer quality". Some things you just don't want to pay a lot for and they can still look like you paid enough.
So that makes 16 items for the year so far, some cheap, some designer, some basics, some replacements, I don't know - I'm so confused! At least I was good buying only one item for each of January and February.
Have a good May everyone!
