Closet Challenge: Day 5

Today was a two outfit day!  I'm still sick but it felt good to get dressed and feel like I didn't look as bad as I felt.  I wore this gray sweater dress from Anthropologie to work with JCrew leggings and Jessica Simpson boots (I can't stomach her as a celebrity but she makes darn comfortable shoes). 

After work, I changed to hang out with friends while watching the IU game.  I bought this JCrew painter's shirt on a whim because 1.) it was dirt cheap and 2.) I thought I might wear it tailgating.  The stripes are definitely not flattering.  This is an example of an impulse buy that turned out to be a mistake.  I shouldn't have given into what seems like American society's tendency to buy things just because they are a bargain.  I'll probably run into more of these throughout the challenge, which is disappointing to think about.  I'll look at this as a chance to learn that just because it's on sale doesn't mean I need it.
