Confession - I splurged

My new job has a relaxed dress code, where I could wear jeans every day if I really want too. Every other job that I have had required a business casual dress code.

You would think this would be great and would open the possibilities of what I could wear. However, after taking a closer look at my wardrobe I realized that I only had a few pairs of jeans/pants that fit the casual category. The rest of my stuff was either too fancy or too relaxed.

I'm getting paid out for 18 vacation days so I decided that I could afford to do a little shopping. A little shopping quickly escalated. I ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes, 4 pairs of jeans/pants, 1 sweater, 3 long sleeve nicer shirts, and 3 t-shirts for $467.45.  Yipes!

Thank goodness I'm getting those 18 vacation days!

At least now I feel like I have a wardrobe that will work really well for my new job and for my everyday life! Now I just need to make sure I'm mentally prepared for the new job.

And it isn't like you won't be using those clothes. So I'd say that's 18 vacation days well spent.

Good for you. You will surely get a lot of use out of them.
