Over the past few years I have used my federal tax refund for a variety of "investments," such as last year's trip to Coachella.  For this year's investment, I decided to turn my refund over to my sister-in-law, along with carte blanche to find me new clothes and the like.  I am notorious for finding a piece of clothing I absolutely love and buying every version of it I can find, which is not conducive to a varied and exciting wardrobe.  Brittany, on the other hand, is a master of seeing the potential of every article of clothing in the store and instantaneously knowing whether and how it will work for a given person.  I walked away with blouses (rather than t-shirts), unique cover-ups (rather than plain cardigans), and a number of adorable dresses (rather than jeans, although I did buy a fair number of jeans also).  Thank you, Uncle Sam!
