Summer Shop my Closet Outfit Recap

August 22, 2022 /

Nothing like feeling a little broke to help you stick to your guns and shop your closet for a month or so. I will be truthful and let you know that I did use a money gift from my mom in law to pick up several things for my anniversary trip in July during my no shop month of June. She specifically gives me such a gift once and a while for the purpose of me buying myself something. She lives with us and I take care of her shopping. I was tempted to add to cart a couple of times on my dime (one $15 skirt at Walmart called my name) but knowing that we had a lot of summer expenses with small vacations, boys camps and back to school, I restrained myself. I actually really did enjoy the challenge and came up with some very cute outfits in my opinion. I am sharing some of my favorites with you today. I did not attempt a no shop in August but am trying to show some restraint now that boys are back in school and I have more time on my hands.

Skirts

I have reached for maxi skirts and tried to pull out some I tend to forget. Wearing the least worn helped me decide whether they still deserved a space in my closet. That first one… Still in love since I bought it at the beginning of summer! And I forgot how comfortable that blue striped one little skirt was.

 

Shorts and skorts

Sometimes I pick a top to start an outfit. One of the weeks in July, I decided to choose tops I hadn’t worn as much but knew I loved.

Shorts haven’t been my top choices this summer but I still wear them as I like the variety they bring and yes, if I am not outdoors or in the car they work quite well.

Pants

Oh, this striped jumpsuit! You have seen it earlier this month with white in this post and since then I have been wearing it with different colorful tops! The fuschia top was such a great choice to get when I had $100 to spend on a giveway prize! I have worn it several times since I got it and it is really lightweight. The thrifted navy pants are so fun and comfortable and were perfect for the zoo.

I hadn’t worn these white leggings and these cropped pants in a while so I came up with some layered outfits in case I got hot. And my cropped jeans with the gold accent have been a favorite since I thrifted them a year or so ago. I believe I had never paired them with this top before.

 

Dresses

These 2 dresses have been around in my closet for a while, especially the black tank dress. I was inspired to wear it with sneakers by Cathie @Cathiescloset and then added a top for church. I love khaki and black together. The other dress, I tend to wear with white sneakers and is a faux wrap. I used my special fashion tape with it for the first time and I was much more comfortable with the neckline.

I really enjoy the tee over a dress combo in the 2 outfits below. It is very comfortable and gives a waist to my two little sleeveless dresses.
