This Is The Remix

Hello all!!

Can I be totally honest with you? I don't have a massive closet stocked full of unlimited clothes and shoes.  I also don't have an unlimited supply of money to go shopping on a whim.  For those reasons, I have to find creative ways to make the clothes I have look different.  I'm sure you have to do the same, and there's nothing wrong with that.  It's all about maximizing your wardrobe and making several outfits from what you have.  This not only saves you time it also saves you money.  

The pieces in this weeks post may look familiar to you.  The polka dot top I wore in this previous blog post and the black dress I wore in this blog post.  I also decided to pair them with my magenta colored Betsey Johnson heels, black clutch, and bracelet.  

Even though this outfit was a last minute decision, I think it came together well.  Sometimes those are the best ones.  The ones where your initial outfit doesn't work the way you thought it was in your head.  And you have to find something quick and everything else you just don't want to wear.  

So, do you like to remix the pieces in your closet to create new outfits? Why or why not? Let's chop it up in the comments.

Until next time....

One-Sidedness

Hello all!!

The top in today's post has been a story of both love and hate for me.  I love it because it takes it out of my comfort zone because of the color and hemline.  I hate (dislike) it because everything I try and put with it, whether jeans, a skirt, or shorts, just seems to not do it justice.  Don't get me wrong, this is a fabulous top, but it could be slightly intimidating.  

Long story short, when you purchase a piece that you may find intimidating, don't give up on it. Especially if it's one that you really love.  Just apply your thinking cap (like in elementary school) and see what you come up with.  You may just surprise yourself.

Play with silhouettes, angles, and proportions to come up with a look that makes you stand out.  If you get stuck or feel you just aren't creative remember,  Pinterest is your friend.  

Do you have pieces in your closet that you struggle with? Do you shy away from pieces because you feel they're hard to style? Let's talk about it in the comments.  

Until next time.....
