new clothes

I got some clothes today at anthropologie. They actually had some clothes I liked and I tried them on. That floral orange skirt is too salmony, and the waist is cut too large. The top is ok but I decided to hold off on it for now.

This skirt I got is kind of poofy, but I more or less like it. It matches the lime-yellow sweater I got at free people the other day. I also got a matching top, even though it was super over-priced. I didn't want to think about whether I had anything that would go with the skirt. That is how they get you-- they put stuff that matches nearby, so you buy two or three things instead of just one. I like it though, because then I know I have an outfit. And I know that I don't have a ton of neutral tops, even though it seems like something I would have. It will be useful for other outfits.

I think if you like the same colors, at least for a period, like recently I've liked yellow and turquoisey colors, rather than, say, navy, or red, which I don't know if I have ever liked, on myself, but just as an example-- then stuff will tend to come together.

I also got some drawer pulls which I tried on my drawers, and didn't like. I am glad I tried because now I know. I have been looking at those for a long time.
