Late August, and back to school, is upon us. Since the day I left my retail career, back to school has held little importance for me. However, that does not mean I’m not thinking about wardrobe and related planning issues. Here are some of the things I’m working on in August of 2010:
- Renewing my cosmetic collection. A couple of times a year, it’s good to review and refresh, buy new mascara and lipstick, etc. Last week I bought foundation.
- Taking inventory of my shorts and tank tops. I’ve picked up a couple of items recently on clearance. Plus, I’ve concluded that some just need to be passed on, for the primary reason that they have shrunk. When I stepped on the scale today and saw I was at my “goal weight” (5 pounds above my “ideal weight”), I figured there was no better time to decide whether a pair of shorts with a tight waistband was ever going to fit.
- Performing maintenance tasks on my fall stuff. It’s all back from the cleaners, and I’ve washed my Pumas. Soon I’ll start thinking about when to get it out.
Next up: the fall haircut.
