The benefit of getting older, sartorially speaking, is that you eventually figure out what works for you. It's a relief to know that you aren't wasting money on clothes that will languish in your closet, or held captive by a need to be trendy. The downside is that everything you wear starts looking the same, which is why this week is focused on wardrobe alternatives. I don't think I'll ever give up cardigan sweaters, or flats, or my black blazer. It's just nice to have one or two items to remind me that stepping out of the box has it's own rewards.
