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.
