August Favorite Outfits (part 1)

August 31, 2020 /

Another month of winning outfits in my book! There were a couple looks I did not include because I did not like them and did end up donating one of those items worn. While I am not sharing any links this week, I have a reason behind that. As I gear myself for several months of hopefully no clothes shopping, I want to encourage others to shop their closets as I will shop mine or to make a list of the types of items you need for your closet. I am always tempted on Instagram or with my daily blog reading but I actually do have quite a nice fall/winter wardrobe with new and newish items so I should not be adding anything to any carts no matter how good the sale. So look at these outfits, if there is something inspiring, try shopping your closet first!

Skirts

It really makes me feel good that my purchases this year (while too many of them) have been worn repeatedly and usually not twice the same way. If I have only worn something I bought once, then it was a mistake and a waste of money. I like to see variety in my Instagram feed, but variety that shows you can wear the same pieces in a variety of ways to get the most out of your closet.

I have been wearing this green skirt since the beginning of spring and like it best with a graphic tee when not wearing a jacket with it. That is the way you will see most of my skirts styled as I like the modern twist a graphic tee adds to a skirt.

This is my favorite tee with this skirt so I changed up the accessories this go around to change the look a little.

I added a belt for the first time with this rainbow skirt and I like it! I think wearing a shoe with a little bit of a wedge helps with the midi length of this skirt! I do need to not look so low when my 9 year old takes my daily pic! Lesson learned!

I love my dress in this color so this past week, I decided this skirt needed another wear. I actually wore this to clean/organize the garage and then wore it in the rain with rainboots (I knotted it) while the boys enjoyed jumping in the puddles. Such a vibrant color!

Pants

I am actually looking forward to wearing jeans this fall and tunics and leggings! Until then, I will keep rotating my wide legged pants and my joggers (those will have a big comeback for me in the fall).

I think I wore this belt 3 times in a week! I haven’t worn belts much in the past years but they do have a place in my closet and I am learning how they can add to an outfits especially when I want to define my waist.

I really like to have a pair of white leggings in the summer as they can lighten up a look. I used colorful accessories for that same purpose in this outfit.

Joggers, how I love you! Comfy, non restricting and very versatile! These I can dress up with heels but most often I wear them with sneakers. We’ve been trying to take pictures with the flowers before the all die, so I have a little bit of variety in my backgrounds.

About to put my flowy pants away and replace them with my fall bottoms but taking them out for one last spin. These thrifted ones are probably one of my favorites. And I almost didn’t keep them when I originally bought them!

Tried to bring in fall on this particular day! This is still one of my favorite purses from last year (Modcloth) that I had bought on clearance. I really like my structured bags the most.

This is an example of keeping something even though it is falling apart: my little Walmart sneakers are falling apart on the inside but the outside still looks good so I still wear them! I hadn’t worn this striped tee in a while so that is how the outfit started!

Come back on Friday for Part 2 of my August outfits!
