Wardrobe Planning For Summer
With the weather warming up and the shops getting summer gear in, it’s around now I take stock of what’s needed for summer. I’ve pulled out all the clothes I bought for the kids at the end of summer sales last year, and looked at what they already have. I’ve done up a list of what they need, which fortunately isn’t much, and now I can keep an eye out for 20% off sales or other bargains to get what they need. With three girls I have started doing much of my shopping at Pumpkin Patch during sales. I find the value during sales comparable to Target or K-Mart, and the quality is such that with three girls I get much more wear out of the clothes. Miss Moo is now wearing some of M&M’s PP clothes that have done 3 girls and show no signs of wear.
But the one thing I often forget when sorting out who needs what for summer is ME! I spent an awful lot of money on clothes for myself earlier this year, and since then I’ve barely looked at clothes for me. I’m totally satisfied with what I have. But now the weather’s warming up I’ve discovered I am missing something. During summer I live in 3/4 denim pants. They’re comfortable, absorb sweat but I don’t get cold in them when I go places and the air conditioning is set at 18 degrees.
Last weekI tried on all my 3/4 denim pants and found only one pair that is comfortable enough to wear. Woops! And while I can wear this one pair 3 or 4 days a week, I’m probably going to need a second pair at least. So I’m on the hunt for a couple of comfortable pairs of 3/4 denim pants to buy. And since I’m off to Sydney in a couple of weeks that might be a good time to go shopping no? There is a much wider variety of shops there…. and maybe Gemisht can come with me again… She’s a pretty bad influence when it comes to spending money.

I love international blogging! We’re noticing our first days of fall here and wondering if we dare pull out the corduroy pants, and you’re getting out the swim suits and flip flops. If we were all really efficient, we could figure out an international clothing swap and just pass hand me downs around the blogosphere as the seasons changed so no one would have to store anything seasonal.
I used to really enjoy getting out the kids seasonal things, seeing what was needed and planning the necessary shopping trips. Nowadays they buy their own stuff and the only thing I need to buy on a yearly basis is socks. Everything else seems to last me forever. I still get my bit of fun buying christmas outfits for my youngest grand daughter.
Does that mean we have to go shopping again?
It’s always the way! My wardrobe is the shabbiest in the whole house.
(By the way, thanks for the patch suggestion. Other people at work have mentioned fabric glue, so if that doesn’t work I’ll be buying a Collingwood patch (hideous taste in football teams that boy’s got) and whacking it over the top.
Who me???? A bad influence???? This face, this innocent little face?????
Yeah, shopping. Looking forward to it again. I will email you and we can organise something.
