Whatever it is I'm wearing these days

I rarely buy clothes anymore.  In fact, most of what you see here are just the same outfits recycled again and again (I suppose they'd call that "remixing" in the fashion blog world).  Most of it is from Target.  I'm not really proud of this, but it's all I'm tempted to buy because not trolling the mall for sales (it rarely happens) and I'm not paying full price from Nordstrom's for t-shirts or sweaters.  Nothankyou.

But guess what else?  I took this picture before school on Monday.  Progress!  Springtime is perhaps coming to the tundra at last.  I mean, it's supposed to be 45* this week.  And sunny!  ...before it snows again next week.

Sweater: Loft / Tank: Old Navy / Scarf: Target / Pants: Gap / Boots: Decree from JCP
I'm feeling absolutely uninspired.  There's nothing I want to wear.  (Except pajamas.  Pajamas sound nice.)

I've cleaned out most of my closet, just leaving the clothes I need for the next month in there.  Things that I can wear to school, warm-weather-ish clothes for traveling south, my gym clothes in my dresser, etc.  Just enough that I can cram into a giant suitcase and live off of it for a month and a half.  And then, when I look for something to wear, I feel like, "Wow, I have, like, no clothes and nothing to wear".
And then I think, "Well, you only left the stuff you intend on wearing and DO actually WEAR. Maybe you just need to get rid of the stuff you never, ever, ever wear and your closet would be this sparse clean all the time."

^That's a lie.  My closet isn't clean.  Half the clothes, and just as messy as ever.

Those superfluous clothes really make the closet look full without any substance.  It's been a reality check, to say the least.

I was in Old Navy over the weekend and I got 3 tops.  They had a TON on clearance and I was tempted, but it just seemed like it was all cheaply-made.  I mean, there's a reason they'll sell a shirt for $5 right?  (Don't worry, I still bought one.) Anyway, that was a disappointing shopping trip.

What are you buying for spring?  Where are you shopping?  Inspire me!
