Pinterest: Time Sucker, Pin Lover

 
Oh Pinterest... how I love you. It's funny. I can go months without looking at Pinterest and then I get bored and the next thing you know- I'm on it for hours. This was the case Sunday morning. My girlfriend and I were chatting on the phone and she was talking about needing to go shopping. I love it when we declare we "need" to go shopping... such a girl thing.

Next thing you know- there we were... virtually shopping on Pinterest. We were picking out clothing and accessories and then we were talking about the fact that we "HAVE" to go to the mall. Too funny!

On a serious note- last year about this time I had slimmed down a bit and found myself "needing" to go shop. I thought it would be a good idea to actually stop and put some thought into my new wardrobe. I had a closet full of suits that were frankly very uncomfortable. I really don't like lined suits- and yet I had a whole closet full of them. I wanted to change that and be like the women I see who always seem to look like they have their own signature style. I purged my closet of most suits and then headed to the internet.

I spent some time pinning outfits that I thought were pretty and the next thing you know- I noticed a trend. Comfortable basics accessorized with a pop of color or bling, casual, sassy, fun and yet appropriate. Now when I shop I tend to think- "does this fit into what I'm trying to go for?"  I think I found my groove in work attire.. but now I'm trying to figure out how to make my "casual mom" wardrobe like that. I'm either dressed for work- or bumming around in workout clothes. I'm afraid I may lose several hours in this quest... but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! So, if you follow me on Pinterest you may see me posting more casual clothes.. and heck, I'm pretty sure you'll see me shopping in a store sometime soon... I think I "HAVE" to make time for some shopping.

Do you use your Pinterest account for planning like I do?
