The Final Result

I had a shopping marathon today. Six hours to be exact. Although, one of those hours was spent trying to back out of the driveway. We had a white Christmas...a blizzard no less! Now, I must inform you that I am not, nor have I ever been a Black Friday/day after Christmas shopper. However, this December 26th I decided to venture out into the arctic tundra to brave the elements and crazy drivers (People in the southwest are incapable of driving in winter weather) to find the perfect first job wardrobe.

Two aching arms, one empty belly, and six hours later, Here is the result (including yesterday's Christmas gifts):
-one navy dress
-one brown bag
-7 camis
-3 skirts
-2 scarves
-two pairs of tights: brown herring bone and opaque black
-7 tops
-4 cardigans
-1 pair heels
-1 pair slouchy boots
-2 pairs of pants
...and a partridge in a pair tree.

Really, I found some amazing deals and really cute items. Here's the problem...I have never spent more than probably $200 at one time. Even though I was given a budget, I'm feeling a little guilty/greedy and overwhelmed. I have been perusing style blogs (see "What I Wore" So cute!) and feel almost certain that, while I have all the staples, I am utterly hopeless when it comes to combining all the pieces. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fairly fashionable person, but very simple. Think, skinny jeans, slouchy boots, crew top, and a necklace. Anymore than that, and I'm lost. That's where I'm at today. Tomorrow, I'll probably be returning my 12 days of Christmas...
