Now yes I still love to head out in Jeans and a shirt, AND the 4 yr old is in constant need of clothes. So how do we do both? Let's face it some of us are tired of looking and feeling frumpy. I'm not saying go out and burn all of your yoga pants. Let's face it too clothes are pricey and they don't last, so when we buy for ourselves we want something that will last.
I love trends but now that we are a 1 income family and the kids constantly need clothes my wardrobe takes a back seat. Last spring I had enough of feeling frumpy and I started to make a change in my wardrobe. I still have all of my comfy clothes, bum clothes, etc. I went through my closet and purged some items and took them to a consignment store. I got an in store credit and used it to purchase a few new and new to me pieces. I scored a brand new J Crew red skirt that I LOVE!
I glanced through some fashion magazines to see what was going to be in style for Spring. I only purchased a few pieces that I could mix and match with what I already own. BOOM I had just created several outfits to have me looking in style. I went to tjmaxx, Marshalls, and Old Navy for my shopping. I also scored somethings at Ann Taylor Loft Factory. Late Spring/Early summer I did the same thing. I bought a couple of pieces (some classic, some trendy) to create some cute summer outfits. Fall and winter I kinda dropped the ball because let's face it sweaters and jeans are what I want to wear LOL.
Here we are Spring is here again and oh la la the color palette is all over the place. Mint Green, Sherbert Orange, Fushia, Royal Blue/Electric Blue mixed with yellow and white. I have also seen grey mixed with the orange and green.
Last year I scored A mint green summer weight sweater at ON. Hooray for it being in this spring. Same goes for the orange. So all I have purchased for this Spring is a pair of Blue Pixie pants from Old Navy and a white boyfriend button down shirt. I went to TJ Maxx and scored a Nine West yellow purse on clearance for under $20. Now all I need to complete the outfit is a necklace to pull it together. I'm not a huge yellow fan so going with an inexspensive bag or jewelry helps. The shirt I know I will use again with other pieces I own. Now I just need the weather to warm up so that I can wear my new outfits. I might even find a pair of grey pants to mix up with my mint green sweater. Here is my new outfit for Spring.
