Snow day = Inventory Day!

Snow day and time alone =…. Wait for it… finally an opportunity to take inventory! A chance to see my whole collection. What I have, what my takes are, and what I’m missing and need to fill in over time. My comments are posted in each item where they are "comment-worthy"!

I'd love your thoughts!!!! Pics to be posted later on Flickr/Facebook. So without further ado… let’s begin!

Tops: 5. 3 sweaters: 2 black and 1 white. 2 tops I wouldn’t wear anywhere. I need more tops. Tops also give flexibility and are better at covering things I don’t want seen, I’ve found.

Shorts: 3. 2 pink, 1 black. 1 is a pair of gym shorts. Err… I woudn’t wear these out anywhere (except maybe one), blush!

Non-formal dresses: 14 (wow). 1 of which doesn’t fit (the chance you take when you order on Amazon). Variety of colors. I try to get stuff with sleeves and high necklines to hide giveaways. Unfortunately, this greatly limits my choices. 2 of the dresses are sweater dresses that are short enough they could be worn as tops with leggings, a look I've thought about.

Formal dresses: 8 (again, wow). 5 black. 1 red. 1 blue. 1 pink. 1 doesn’t fit (my favorite of them all - so much that I took a chance on something I guess probably wouldn't fit in the hope it would – SAD!) 3 are long gowns. 3 are A-line dresses. 2 are above the knee dresses (one may be too short). 2 are ones I would never wear out (possibly 3 if that one is too short).

Skirts: 3. All pink. I need skirts. One skater skirt. One mini-skirt. One longer pencil skirt.

Jackets/jacket-type sweaters: 3. 1 pink jacket. 2 black sweaters.

Stockings: 2 sets. Both black. I need different colors and styles.

Pantyhose/tights: 8 pairs. 4 nude, 2 black, and 2 white.

Heels: 8 pairs. 6 are scandalously high and I can’t wear them too long. 1 is somewhat high. 1 pair I can wear all night. Need to get a little more practical here, but I do so love high heels! 2 nude, 1 white, 1 white and pink, 4 black. 4 open toed, 4 close toed.

Flats: 2. Black. And they aren’t real flats. They’re the folding flats for when you’re heels hurt too much. I need flats.

Boots: 0. I love them, but they take up a lot of space and are hard to store in the space I do have.

Running shoes: 1 pair. Black and hot pink (what else?). And I actually ran two miles in them once. They’re really comfortable – wish I could run in them all the time!

Bustiers: 2. 1 pink and 1 black/purple. Need more for the stockings I'm going to buy! ;-)

Nighties: 2. 1 silky and pink and 1 blue mesh. I want a long silky nightgown.

Kimono robes: 1. Silky and pink to match the pink nightie.

Sleepshirts: 1. Pink with flowers. Love the way it feels.

Corsets: 1. Black. Love it.

Gloves: 2. Both black. For formal occasions.

Pants: 4. All black (oops). One pair of workout/yoga pants and 3 pairs of leggings. Need more variety here, though clearly, I’m not a pants gal!

Swimsuit: 1. Hot pink. Would never wear it in front of anyone.

Bras: 13 (thank you Amazon for six packs!). Variety of colors. 1 athletic bra. 1 pocket bra (a great purchase). 2 strapless bras. 9 “traditional” bras, of which 1 doesn’t fit.

Panties: 24 (again thank you Amazon for six packs). Mostly bikini variety. Generally silky, lacy, or if cotton with hearts on them and such. 1 pair of panties with padding. 1 pair of ruffled panties just for fun.

Petticoats: 2. And they both are terrible. One short and one six hoop long petticoat. Neither with crinoline and frills. Learned a lesson here.

Pocketbooks: 1. Pink, white, and black (what else). Big enough to carry a pair of heels.

Wallet: 1. Black and boring.

Wigs: 2. Blond. Need a little variety here but I don’t have a great way to store these so I hesitate to spend money on these. Also, I have somehow lost my wig revitalizing spray (grrr).

Breastforms: 1 pair. And they’re really not very good. Has anyone tried that breastplate that covers your whole chest? Thoughts? I’d like one to add flexibility to what I wear but I don’t want to spend that type of money unless I know I’ll get something good.


Jewelry: 1 bracelet, 1 pair of earrings, 1 necklace, which is tangled beyond all get out (after hours of work by people at the 2016 Femmefever Gala ball).
