I hope your week is going well! I’m slowly getting used to work hours again (with the help of a lot of caffeine!).
One of my style resolutions this year is to shop my closet more and remix the pieces I already own. My closet is over-flowing and I don’t deny that I’ve used this blog as an excuse on more than one occasion to pick up something new. However, now my closet literally won’t hold any more clothes. Thankfully, my shoe closet still has a little bit of room…
I last wore this dress here (you can tell I really like this necklace with this dress, lol) on the blog and have lots of cute summer dresses that I’m trying to get more wears out of. I made this one winter appropriate by layering it over my favorite button down (seriously this BR one is the best!), and tights and adding a great blazer. Not all of my summer dresses can transition like this, but I definitely plan to remix any dresses that aren’t too summery in a similar fashion.

I am in the same boat as you. My closet is stuffed and I need to start wearing everything. The blog has made me buy more pieces and now I need to use inspiration to style them all in different and new ways. I love your outfit! It looks brand new!

I’m trying to do the same…I typically have a one in one out rule and I also must have all matching hangers and typically will NOT buy additional hangers…well…I broke that rule this year so time to curb the additions and wear what I got! Your selection looks very nice!

I’m all for shopping in my own closet! Recycling our clothes is fun and really tests our creativity. Love how you winterized this summery dress. The shoes are perfect with it!

I hear you on shopping the closet! I am the same way – I HAD to clean out my closet because it physically could not hold any more stuff! This dress is beautiful and I love it paired with the black moto jacket. Good luck to all of us trying to spend smarter this year!

I know I am buying too much stuff when I run out of hangers. It is time for a closer clean out again. I am also guilty of buying too much stuff. This blue is a really great color on you.

Very wise resolution! You will come to realize how creative you can be and how perfectly some items go together that you probably wouldnt have thought of pairing before! Good luck ….even though based on this outfit I doubt you will need it!
