Whenever you buy a new piece of clothing, you want to have a variety of ways to wear it in mind. You may choose to change up accessories, different bottoms or layers to create new outfits. In this post, I am using a blush peasant blouse I found on the clearance rack at Target. Since the blouse has interesting details such as the tassels and the details at the collar and sleeves, I created different outfits by changing shoes and bottoms. With joggers and brown sandals I love these joggers! I can dress them up for a date or down for a casual outfit. This particular pair from JCpenney is…

Once again another blogger, Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style (and her moms) has sparked my interest with her theme for the week. During the last week of March, they styled black and white with bright colors, pastels and. In my case, I went with a simple combo of black and white with black and white. The shirt is from Shein which right now is only is plus sizes. This ruffle short sleeve tee is now $9 which is close to the price I paid for it. This is the only time that I have bought from Shein but I will say that the shirt has really held up to…

Look # 1 Today I am sharing with you 2 outfits featuring olive and navy. Those are not colors that I usually combine but after seeing it on another blogger (Jaymie Ashcraft), I got inspired to see what I could create from my closet. As most of my post, I do not have links for my clothes because most of them are not new and also because my aim is to help you take advantage of what you already own and what you may want to add to your closet to help you create more outfit combinations. Use the colors or the type of clothing as your inspiration just as…

Since I often find myself replicating outfits that I have seen, I decided that I would share them with all of you. Since I am trying very hard to stick to my shopping freezing (oops, I did buy a dress I had been eyeing since last year, but I promise, no more till this summer!), I am finding inpiration through the different bloggers I follow while shopping my closet. The following look was inspired by Jo-Lynne Shane and I really love how it turned out! Both the shirt and the white jacket were thrifted a few years back but I had never worn them together. One of my favorite jeans…

Well, this outfit might not be outstanding but it definitely becomes more interesting and stands out more with its improvements. How do you transform an outfit from basic to pretty? A week or so ago, I was getting ready for church but I was not sure what to wear. I knew I wanted to wear something different that would go with my gray boots because while it was not too cold, it was overcast and probably would rain. I decided to build from a plain black dress. Basic black dress and boots One of my very versatile accessory in my closet,  these boots have been worn many times since I…

This week I am participating in a challenge on Instagram called #thriftedchistylechallenge. While I have known about this challenge for a while, I never took the step to participate. So this week is the week! My son has been helping me with my photos so that I do not post just a bunch of selfies and we have been trying to be creative with where we can take our pictures whithout leaving the neighborhood. While they are some cool places in town where I would like to take pictures, bringing my 4 boys with me would not be conducive to a smooth photoshoot. But as we learn, we will become…

While I am ok with spending two dollars on an item that I might only wear once, I would rather fill my closet with clothes that I actually will wear multiple times in a variety of ways. To do this, I visit thrift stores or consigment stores with a plan. I tend to shop at thrift stores with friends or when my clothing allowance/budget is tighter. Know your thrift stores Because I usually thrift shop when my budget is limited, I usually try to head to the thrift stores when they have a special discounted day. There is a Value Village thrift store that has all of their merchandise half…

While I still shop at thrift stores and stores like Target, Old Navy and Nordstrom, I am trying to curb my shopping in order to save for our upcoming trip to Europe. When I go on one of these clothes shopping freeze, I try to shop my closet and come up with new combinations of clothes. Here are several steps I use to control my desire to shop and to enjoy my clothes anew: Purge and reorganize my closet When my closet is organized and filled with only clothes that fit me and that I actually like/love, I find it easier to create new combinations. It is easier to find…
