Shopping for my skinny wardrobe

I am starting to build a wardrobe to fit this new body and took a trip to one of my favorite stores today. What did I buy? Two tee shirts and one shirt that can be worn as a lightweight jacket or, alone, as a shirt. On sale.

Not much of a departure for me. I live in jeans/crop pants and tee shirts. Some of my friends don't wear denim and wear real tops or shirts all of the time. As I buy new clothes I will probably have one pair of dark brown "dress" pants, a pair of khakis, and plenty of jeans. Oh yes, and my basic black slinky pants and top for fancy affairs -- but those still fit and won't need replacing. God Bless knits with elastic waists.

One of the new tee shirts, however, is a different style from what I usually wear. It's tapered to fit and has a big gold butterfly on the front. Verrrry jazzy! I look almost Palm Springs. Coldwater Creek has brown pants to match it and they will be my next purchase. This is going to be fun but I will have to keep a grip on my new tendency to want to buy everything. Please let the President know that I'm starting to stimulate the economy.
