There are times I go into my closet full of clothes and find nothing but individual items that don’t go with anything. Why do I have sheer turtlenecks with nothing to go underneath them? Why do I own 10 workout tops and no workout leggings? As a Type B personality, it’s unsurprising that my closet is as disorganized as my brain. However, a closet with missing pieces to its puzzle is nothing a shopping trip can’t fix.
Additionally, I must prepare for a heavy winter, so I’m on the lookout for new knits, jackets, tights, woolen pants—basically anything that can prevent me from being rendered frozen in this brittle northeast cold.
