Thanks Ralph!

I was recently in Scottsdale, Arizona to work on some photo shoots and found myself with a free afternoon so I headed over to my favorite store at the Biltmore Center - The Ralph Lauren store. I love this store because they have a furniture showroom and it feels like an elegant private club. Unfortunately - the day that I went they were taking down the old display to put up a new one. I had to content myself with browsing the spring couture line.
The new spring line was - fabulous! Not because it is groundbreaking - but because -

I already have this look! Ralph Lauren from about nine years ago. I bought some nice pieces back then and they have held up well. And like the Sartorialist said in his March 17 blog post -

"Someone commented yesterday that "shopping your own closet" is already a cliche. Maybe that's true, but it is a truth we are all living with right now. "

I'm sure I have this shirt - maybe not the pants - I can live without the pants.........

Surely I have some similar belts in the closet..........................
I definitely have this white silk skirt. The blouse that goes with mine has long sleeves - better for me anyway.................................................

I would love to have the shoes ...................................
This look is a little - well lets see - survival fashion maybe - what a great dress.
Love this dress. Not wild about the pants on the right - and the headgear - thanks but no thanks..........................................

So Ralph ~ I'll shop the closet ~ maybe add a few accessories. Thanks to you ~ at least I won't feel so last year!
