When I first started blogging about my outfits I was a little worried it would make me feel like I would need to shop more, so I wasn't always posting the same clothes. It turns out that the opposite is happening, instead of shopping more I am thoroughly examining what I have in closet and getting deep into clothes that have received little attention from me before.
I had a bridal shower to go to this weekend, and my first thought was that it was the perfect excuse to buy a new a dress. But when I thought about it more I knew I had some dresses in my closet that still have tags on them, like this Elizabeth and James dress that I got on clearance a few years back from ShopBop. It has been sitting in my closet just waiting to be worn, and yesterday I finally busted it out.
I can't believe I never wore this before, I loved it and Casey said I looked like a flower in it.
Our nice weather has gone away.
The bits of red in the dress inspired me to paint my nails red, something I never do, and I loved it!
I hope your weekend was great! Make sure to check out my current giveaway as well =)
Love the dress on you! I can't believe it's been sitting in your closet, either! It looks wonderful.

ReplyDeleteloveeee it amber! I am the same way I have been trying to use clothes in my closet that still have tags on it!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, because I'm not a nail polish person myself, but the red nails really pull it together. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTien- I know! I bought is at first and just let it sit, and then it got to the point it was "old" I think it is long enough now that I like it again or something lol!
ReplyDeleteTwoPatentPumps-I am going to have to do more hunting now. I put away my summer clothes during winter time so I am hoping to find many more pieces I love but forgot about.
