Shop my Closet Outfits 1-12

January 13, 2023 /

My goal this month is to shop my closet as I have so much variety to choose from, it helps me be creative and it really helps my wallet. If I do purchase anything, it will be thrifted and spent from the cash I earned from selling a few things this month (I have made $50). Today, I am sharing my first 12 outfits of the month. You will see a lot of bright colors as I have been inspired by Jodie to use the hastag #brightcolorjanuary and come up with some colorful outfits to brighten my day.

Dresses

I don’t wear my berets very often, but I have been inspired to wear them to church lately. The 3 looks above, I wore to church and tried a new combo with the 2 first dresses. The last mustard and royal combo is tried and true and first appeared in a blog post here.

It’s always fun to be able to wear dresses all through the seasons: I have several that hang in my closet all year long. The fuchsia dress is a tank dress and is transformed into a skirt with the addition of a sweater. The orange dress is made warmer with leggings, but since the highs were in the 60s yesterday I did not need a sweater or jacket.

Pants

I am always surprised when I come up with an outfit that really works that I had not thought of before. That was the case with the red pants. My husband gifted me the purple crop sweater for Christmas and I have been coming up with some different high waisted bottoms to wear it with. I hadn’t wore my rust top in  awhile to I wore it on a rainy day with one of my favorite pairs of shoes: my leopard wedge sneakers.

The camo and yellow plaid combo is not new but it is my favorite way to wear the plaid cardigan. It just is a fun outfit! You can even see how Jodie inspired me to buy it and wear it in this post here.

Toppers

Still going strong with color! I really do enjoy getting dressed in the morning: some might call it trivial and vain but it sure sets the mood of a pleasant day when you feel good in what you are wearing and it brings a little fun in your day.

I wanted to wear my velvet bodysuit on a week day so adding my bright kimono added some coverage. Then since I had recently worn this plaid tunic dress over jeans before, I added a little something this time with a scarf and contrasting boots. Those are my last purchase, on December 27! Gail of IsThisMutton asked in her yearly survey this week what was our weakness, mine is typically shoes!

 

I hadn’t worn my Caite and Kylo plaid shirt in a while so decided to add a contrasting rust tee underneath and white jeans and I really like out this outfit turned out!

I hope these looks have inspired you to shop your closet! As you may have noticed there were no heavy sweaters or layers in these looks since after a cold snap at the end of December, it has been fairly mild here. I do hope to wear those in the coming weeks, though!

A bientôt!
