closet clean out | what should i be wearing?

After working for twelve years in the same profession, I was more than happy to start cleaning out my closet. But now what? I have no idea how to dress myself! I lived in my jcrew khaki shorts and a tee shirt all summer, but with cold weather coming what's a girl (ok a thirty something) to do? 

I remembered reading some posts gp (gwyneth paltrow) did a few years ago on her blog, Goop. gp titled the posts my uniform, spring, and spring fashion (there are more fashion posts, but the posts get progressively more fancy pants as the years go on). I could maybe afford one leg of the leggings and the rest of the wardrobe was out of the question.  BUT the outfit ideas were great and I still think the outfits are great! (maybe I am really out of touch, just like gp when she said working mothers had it easier than her, but I regress).

I need some of the same sort of clothing in my life but... ON a MAJOR budget!

Now to find these on a budget more realistic for me. Stay tuned!
