The No Brainer Wardrobe (a giveaway)

My pal Hayley developed & wrote a very, very useful series on her blog last October. I told you a little bit about it a few months ago. Well, since then, her idea has blown up & she wrote an e-book from her continued thoughts/ideas on the topic of a building a wardrobe with less fuss. It is popular. You've probably heard of it- The No Brainer Wardrobe. I bought my copy a few weeks ago, when it first came out, but just got around to reading it last week. It was quick & easy to read, but definitely made a mark.

As I was putting away my laundry a few days ago, I was reminded of Hayley's advice to get rid of the things you don't wear- you'll have that much less to dig through each morning when you're choosing your outfit for the day. Over the weekend I did a little bit of shopping & tried to make informed decisions. I bought a new pair of jeans & definitely took a risk. I decided to go with a pair of skinny jeans, which was terrifying, but the thought of just buying another pair of frumpy jeans like the Mandie of 2011 would made me sad. (this is a whole other lifetime of stories though)

So, encouraged by this post by my lovely pal Melissa, I bought the skinnies knowing I could let them out a smidge if I thought I'd feel more comfortable that way. I also bought 2 more of a dress that I already owned that was on major sale on Target's website in different colors than what I already have. I purchased a sweater that I already own in a different color. (If nothing else in my life is consistent, my ability to own the same piece of clothing in every color imaginable is, in fact, consistent.)

I'm working on a new me. Not just the outside, though, to be honest, that's the part that I'm most anxious for. But I'm working on balance- not overworking myself to the point of never doing homey-things, etc. The No Brainer Wardrobe may be a book about creating a wardrobe with less fuss, but it's sort of kick-started a way of thinking for me too, that I hope will carry over to many areas of my life.

With all that said, I'd love to offer up a giveaway! Hayley has generously offered to give one copy of The No Brainer Wardrobe to one of my readers, & in addition, I'd love to offer a stylish clutch similar to the one I shared last week.
