take one for the team
I am hugely sceptical of any attempt at workout gear-inspired fashion. Like military-inspired clothing, I always wish they would just stay away. Subtle interpretations are a good concept, but most of the time, they're just so...literal.
For my premature scorn, I deserve to be shown up by this wonderfully comfy and decidedly cute sweatshirt from Muji, which I spotted yesterday.
It looked good on too (if I do say so myself), and it's actually made of very light, very soft cotton, so it works well in the weather here, but it still has that heft that makes a sweatshirt distinct from a regular t-shirt or pullover.
I am mulling. I really like it. I just don't want more things. I was doing so well, buying just four things in six months (yeah, I know, so much for the shopping ban).
I wish I could shop less, but nothing seems to be able to curb my habit of killing time by wandering around shops. Of course, If I have punctual friends, I wouldn't have so much idle time to go around looking at things and trying them on. And falling for them and spending all this time wondering if I should buy them.

4 items in 6 months is fantastic - don't beat yourself up. If you love something, you will get wear out of it.
Ammu: Oh yes please do, they have it in a darker grey as well.
Pret a Porter P: I'm looking forward to sale season as well! I think the last six months prepared me to be more disciplined this time...
enc: I haven't bought it because I've been preoccupied with the World Cup, hahaha. Football as antidote to shopping perhaps.
I could see myself getting rid of some older tops to make way for this..I did spend some time over the weekend thinking about how to wear this top and what I think I can retire in my closet to freshen things up.
