That extra pair

So I'm always saying you should upgrade at the end of the season. It makes the most sense financially -- everything is on sale. And in terms of time management, it's easy, too -- you know what you need. But if you've been doing a lot of filling in this season or maybe you've bought a new outfit or two, your internal rein on spending is pulling you up short.

Mine is. But I know I'm going to want a replacement for my jeans next year and I'll end up buying them full price!? It's totally irrational. You want to buy new clothes at the beginning of the season, not at the end. Considered yourself trained by the retail cycle. Break out -- become your own woman!

Self-worth

In my book group recently, we talked about the difference between self-centeredness and self-worth. How easy it may be to say, "I'm going to put myself first and get a pedicure" vs how difficult it may be to project self-worth.

DailyOutfit is all about self-acceptance and projecting to the world in a glance that you are an amazing creature. Is it self-centered to know that you are unique? Is it prideful to understand that you have specific gifts to share? We believe that when you put your best foot forward, you honor yourself and others. You are a gift; it's time to share.
