I have nothing to wear...

I actually started this blog before last summer and then I got distracted from blogging and hadn't come back to it.   The idea remains the same, so I will finish and post even though these are summer outfits.  

I had been going through my closet and thinking that I had NOTHING to wear.  I hate when I get that feeling, because it puts me in a spendy mood.   I know myself though,  I am happier on a daily basis if I stick to a capsule style wardrobe.  One of my friends invited me out and we were shopping for something for her when I came across these teal pants and really fell in love with them, but they were an odd color, full price, and frankly TEAL.  What would I wear them with?   Talking with my friend I decided that I would only buy them if I could in my mind put together at least 3 outfits to wear.    I thought of the teal and purple shirt, the black and white shirt and the solid black shirt at the bottom.  
When I got home, I decided to go though my closet and see just how many outfits I could put together. With one $40 pair of pants I was able to refresh my wardrobe and create 8 new outfits.  Success!!  

The moral of the story is... You don't have to buy a whole lot of items or spend tons of money to have a whole new wardrobe.  Sometimes just swapping out an item or 2 can make everything fresh and new again.
