In My Closet | Daring Floral

I bought these jeans earlier this year and got a great deal on them. They aren’t something I would have paid full price for because they are trendy and not something I’d get a lot of use out of. But they are so pretty!

I asked my Instagram followers a couple weeks back to help me with what to pair with them. I tried gray, beige and chambray…all of them pretty drab. The fashionable ladies of Instagram recommended jewel tone and it was perfect! I think it definitely needs to be a blue/green or magenta jewel tone. An emerald looked odd and purple was a no go. This was the only option left in my closet and I like how it looks. I even changed out the jewelry – one set golds, the other silver – for two different looks.

And with silver jewelry…maybe a little more casual? A different shoe would help dress it down too. I like these…

I am excited to go out and find a few more shirts that would work especially some that aren’t as dressy so I can wear the jeans more often.

In My Closet | Day or Night

I love a good deal, I mean who doesn’t? And good deals on clothes are even better. The top and shorts only cost me $12 total! I am really excited to wear this outfit and maybe even add tights when the weather cools a bit. It’s a big maybe though…I may not be daring enough.

Top | Olivia Moon from Marshalls
Shorts | Mossimo from Target
Sandals | Bandolino from forever ago (These would also be cute!)
Earrings | World Market (These would be great!)

I think this outfit could be great for around town running errands, evening drinks on South Congress or brunch on Saturday morning. If I do wear this and am just doing errands, I’d probably wear different shoes. I love these sandals but all day wear is rough.

The shirt is kind of like a t-shirt in the front but more sheer in the back. Not just a boring tee.

In My Closet | So Bright

It’s Texas and it’s fall but it still feels like summer so I think this outfit will work for a bit longer. I am usually not into such bright colors but I love this pencil skirt and have yet to wear the top. I’ll definitely need to feel very brave the day I put this on.

I really want to wear the necklace too. I picked it up in a little shop in Port Aransas for about $12. I saw a similar necklace on Pinterest this week and felt very proud of myself for being so ahead of the trend.

The sandals are pretty neutral and I am not 100% in love with them for this outfit. I may swap them out for my plain gold ones or my brown wedges.

I have had the skirt for a while and wore it twice before it got thrown in my “needs mending” pile. The hem came down and I finally put the blind hem back in yesterday. Yay!

I love the idea of mixing patterns but it also scares me a bit. I am always worried I’ll do it wrong! This was an easy mix for me though and pretty subtle.

I’ve always struggled with wearing shorts. Finding the right length and fit and then just being comfortable in them. I have a hard time feeling put together when I wear shorts. I have always admired people who put them on with more than a t-shirt, great jewelry and even heels (my younger sister does this really well). This is my ‘light’ attempt at ‘dressing up’ a pair of shorts (in a color I’ve never worn!!).

The shirt I scored for only $10! It’s a really pretty material too, two thin layers. Love stripes!

In My Closet | Chambray and Pleats

I love fashion. I mean, really love fashion. I seriously considered going into fashion design after high school or something fashion related. I’ve made a few things for myself over the years…some cute, some not so successful. I love watching Project Runway too and during every season, I get the itch to sew or design or sign up for classes. Well, I haven’t designed or created anything…yet…but I am pushing myself to ‘design’ with what I have in my own closet.

I have a Pinterest board dedicated to looks and styles that I like and would like to experiment with, but I also wanted to create my own virtual closet. I have too many mornings where I stand in my closet thinking I have nothing to wear or feeling uninspired. Hopefully doing this will solve that problem. Granted, I don’t ‘dress’ up everyday…I mean I have a 1 year old who likes to play in the mud…some clothes just don’t mix with mud.
