If I had $5 000...

Remember the show What Not to Wear? With Stacy London and Clinton Kelly? I loved it growing up. A few months ago, I watched a few episodes during a night shift and I forgot how great it was. Currently I’m curled up in bed with a nasty cough and sinus headache, so I thought it would be a great time to do a “What I Would Do If I had $5 000 for a New Wardrobe” post.

I couldn’t pick any jewelry and accessories that stood out to me – so therefore, that’s what that almost $600 would go for.

Of course, you would then go to Nick or Ted for a hair makeover then Carmindy for makeup.

I don’t know what would happen with my hair, but this is what I would want for my makeup:

Foundation, highlighter (in lucid), contour (in sombre), eyebrow pencil (in midnight brown), mascara, lip stain (in envy)

What would you buy and where would you shop if you had $5 000 to buy a new wardrobe?
