Summer Skirt Savings
My professional wardrobe is wearing on me again — this time it’s the shift in temperatures. I bought clothes for the winter season forgetting that what gets cold must get hot again. So, here I’m at wits end with my job, watching the clock tick and the thermostat rise. What am I going to do about it?
I’ve started with summer skirt savings. I have one light-weight skirt that is so terribly comfortable that I could wear it every day — in fact, I’m going to wear it every day. It’s in basic black and nice enough to look professional in the office and casual enough when I ditch the hosiery (sheer knee-highs, baby! I got some sexy granny legs going on!).
This idea is partially inspired by the Little Brown Dress project. I remember stumbling across it several months ago and loved the economical impact of wearing the same thing everyday.
Having worn the same skirt for a couple of weeks now, I’ve decided to apply the same logic to the only cooler weather tops I have; I’ll wear each top twice a week. To better accommodate the ensemble ensemble, I’m switching my work hours to four days a week.
(Okay, so the clothes weren’t the main reason for changing my work hours, but they did factor into the decision.)
