corduroy dress (Old Navy, hand-me-down, $free)

maroon lace-up booties (Vince Camuto via Clothes Mentor, $30)
This dress. Sick of it yet? I'm actually surprised; I'm getting there... but not quite.
Sometimes (OK, all the time), I wish I had a way to clone my clothes. You know when you own something that fits you so well- fit, personal style, function, etc. - you want 10 of them in all colors and patterns? I have several items like that. Does that make me lucky? That I have found my clothes-mate (like soul mate) in more than one item? Some people probably go their whole lives without ever finding their clothes-mate. Maybe they should try internet shopping. (Hehe, am I the only one that finds this amusing? Probably.)
I have a semi-solution for this - eBay! I've been doing a lot of shopping on eBay lately. It's sort-of like thrifting, only you can search for specific items and all from the comfort of you home (or office). Recently I've purchased a larger size top to replace an old one that doesn't fit anymore, a jacket that was sold out on JCP.com and in JCP stores, and a 2nd pair of jeans in a lighter wash than the perfect ones I recently bought at a resale shop.
(SHAMELESS SELF-PLUG)
I'm currently selling a bunch of clothes that no longer fit on eBay. Check my Shop page if you're interested. I'm adding new stuff all the time, so check back if you don't see anything that piques your interest. I sell mostly clothes, but I'm starting to sell some shoes. No accessories at this time.
