Brighter?

I am still on a mission to find myself some clothes.  The stuff I have just isn't fitting right anymore, and I feel almost dumpy looking, if that makes any kind of sense at all.  I know it is because I am losing weight, and I know I am in that awkward "in between" stage where I shouldn't invest in clothes because I am still losing, but I really want to look nicer.

What to do?

I decided to browse online to see if I could find anything different than what I already own, and I found some cute Michael kors stuff.  My problem, according to my best friend, is that I like solid, dark colored clothes, and she thinks I need to wear things that have a little more of a pattern to them and brighter colors.  

I got frustrated trying to find clothes, so I ended up looking at pocket books and shoes instead, and check out this awesome cole haan purse I found.

I love the style and the color!   I know it's a little plain, but so am I.  I also found these stuart weitzman shoes that would totally match the bag.

I wonder if getting these would get my best friend off my back for a while?
