My Tips from Week Two of Style My Closet January (aka how I got through another seven days without shopping):
- Use your favorite bloggers for inspiration- not just for new things to buy- but for outfits you can re-create in your own closet. Of course we all love looking at our favorite blogger’s posts and lusting after their new bag or shoes. But didn’t fashion blogging start as a way for people to share their outfits and give outfit inspiration to others? I pinned a bunch of images from my fave bloggers on my Pinterest board before this month started of looks I knew I could recreate. My Friday look was inspired by this look from Stephanie Sterjovski, my Tuesday outfit was inspired by Jess of Bows & Sequins and my Thursday look is pretty similar to this outfit Abigail Strock posted. When you look at your fave fashion blogs, don’t just look for new items to buy- think creatively as to how you can recreate or put your own spin on their look!
- Plan ahead! On Sunday, I planned out my outfits for the week and it made things so much less stressful because I knew what I was going to wear when, I didn’t have to dig through my closet each morning and I knew what was clean/dirty. Don’t laugh at that last one! How many times have you gone to wear an outfit to find a critical piece is dirty? Me… probably more than I like to admit (#ihatelaundry). Planning ahead saved me a ton of time during the week.
- Don’t be afraid to keep it real. Okay, so maybe you are sick of seeing my Kate Spade purse, but it’s my go-to black purse during the week. Because it holds a ton, it’s easy to carry and black goes with everything. So it’s in a few too many pictures… who cares! Real life means using the same bag more than one day in a row 😉
Thanks for following along on week two of Style My Closet January!

Thanks Jessie! Hope you are having a great weekend! 🙂
This is such a great idea. Since I work from home I often don’t need more than yoga pants and a fleece, but I tend to gravitate toward the same pieces when I do dress up. I need to look around my closet more!

Thanks Meghan! I would definitely do the same if I worked from home too 🙂 What girl doesn’t love her yoga pants?!? xoxo!
Really cute outfits! I just bought a patterned jacket thingy like the one in your Monday outfit and love it! Planning ahead on outfits is always a good idea. I go to bed each night thinking about what I’m going to wear the next day because it minimizes my getting ready time, which is critical for me!

Minimizing getting ready time is so critical! I also tend to get stressed if I am rushed picking out an outfit in the AM and it leads to a lot more of the “I have nothing to wear” feeling! You’ll have to share your jacket, Monique so we can see it 🙂
