Shop my Closet: 13-26
I am sharing my shopping through my closet journey this month (see part 1 here) and have been fun creating unique to me outfits! I like the variety I have displayed here from the past 2 weeks!
The nice thing about shopping my closet and constantly reevaluating what I have, is that what I do keep in my closet, I really like! This month, I have tried to include color and variety in most of my outfits as well as wearing some things I haven’t worn in a while. The outfit on the right is a prime example of that. I hadn’t worn those pants since October and the burgundy tunic hadn’t been worn since last year. That tunic is an example of something that has a lasting power in my closet. It’s probably more than 8 years old now, and I still think the color and print are very pretty. On the left, I am wearing a scarf I made years ago and the camo vest used to be my oldest son’s vest.
Weekend Looks
Weekend looks often include two looks if I do not feel like wearing a skirt or dress all day. I did some IG work for a partnership and had to show off this bag from ShopLCtv then just added a skirt over my leggings.
I bought this Billabong skirt back in November I think and while it is definitely a spring/summer skirt, it can work all year long! I used my Maggie Snaps to tie it together since the split was a little to high for church. I wore my new Vivaia black booties I won in a giveaway with Graceful Rags. She wore her pair in the blog post I linked. I changed into my jeans in the afternoon for comfort as well as to show off the boots to share on Instagram.
Jeans
I still wear my skinny jeans quite often and tried to pick some unworn tops to pair with them. Of course, I need to add some pop of color! The thrifted fringe cardigan is really pretty but I do not wear it much. This outfit reinforced the need to keep it: those colors make it a keeper. Bad hair day? Add a hat! That is why I am wearing a hat on the right!
Colorful Pants
How much do I love those Old Navy floral pants? I have never regretted buying them! That print is so fun and happy and I wear them all year long. Then I went for a monochromatic look on a warm winter day with a column of olive. Both that top and the navy one are old from Old Navy. I think I bought them when we moved to this house 6 years ago!
Leggings
Two leggings outfits: I wore one on the weekend when I often just want to be comfortable and laid back but the fun bootie dress them up a little. Then to go thrifting I made sure to have a tank under my sweater. it is so much easy to try on clothes when you just have to pull the sweater off and if the dressing rooms are clothes, you can try out things by a mirror without losing your modesty.
I wore the capri white leggings on a rainy day therefore my water resistant leopard booties.
Coat
I haven’t worn coats much lately but I took advantage of a windy day to wear my burgundy Poshmark find. I found it last year for a steal (less than $15) and I really love the cut and style. I am wearing my burgundy Peekaboo Shirt Tail (shop here with a 20% off with MIREILLE). The size medium definitely gives me more coverage and shows off better under my sweaters.
I omitted a couple outfits that will be making it on the blog soon. I think my two favorite outfits these past two weeks are the ones I wore that Sunday with the crop rust cardigan! The bright floral pants are the runner up.
A bientôt!

Lots of cute looks! I very rarely make it the whole day in a skirt or dress (or any outfit really!)… oftentimes when I get dressed I have no idea if we’ll be hiking later or not or what my day will end up looking like and sometimes that requires a change in clothing. Sometimes while I like the look of the outfit I find it’s just uncomfortable after a few hours and end up changing; which is usually the case with dresses and skirts.

I sometimes change so many times in a day, it is not even funny! Especially on the weekend!

I have said it before, but I do love maxi skirts on you. And that floral pants!! Have a great weekend.

The maxis are so easy to wear and I love them with fitted tops. Probably my favorites in the warmer months but still fun in the winter.

I need to pick up a new pair of good leggings. This Zella pair is so old but my favorite!

It’s always fun to shop your closet because there are always those forgotten gems. I love your pair of leggings and the maxi skirt. They are both closet staples in my opinion and need to be in everyone’s wardrobe!

I know! It’s hard for me not to pick up things when they are me and affordable though. Thrifting this past week with my friend was fun!

I always love a shop-your-closet post, and this one has lots of great ideas in it. I can tell I’m feeling the dreariness of winter because the striped cardigan and floral pants outfits are my favorites – the bright colors/prints are very cheerful.
mimifce
Yes, there’s nothing like color to brighten your mood!

These are such great casual outfits and I really love that maxi skirt! I really like layering up my maxi skirts for cooler weather.
It’s nice to see you are having so much fun shopping your wardrobe too 🙂 Thank you for joining the Weekday Wear Link up!
