Blue and white

My favorite color is blue.
I hadn't realized how often I wear it. Someone told me once that blue is a sign of intelligence. Not sure if that applies but I will take it.

Feeling green

I am still working on getting the hang of taking pictures and posting them on a regular basis. 
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite skirts. The green color is awesome in person and it has pockets! I thought I would try it with blue polka-a-dotted shirt. The picture is not very flattering to the color or details but I really like this outfit.
Skirt- Ann Taylor
Shirt- Forever 21
Necklace- Banana Republic

Spring Cleaning

I have been reading different blogs to get inspired and hopefully learn how to better use my closet. The first step is to get organized which I started this week. I removed all items that I have not worn for over a year or that I have just flat out never worn. I then took inventory of what I have and what I need so that I can start shopping smarter than I have in the past. I realize that I am not good at mixing and have always opted for quantity over quality. That will change now! I have an abundance of black and grey slacks as well as several pairs of jeans but I do not own many skirts, dresses, or colored pants. I have made a list on my phone to help me remember. My plan is to be more methodical in my shopping and asking myself whether a piece is versatile enough to add to my collection. Sadly I have spent thousands of dollars in my adult life yet I feel my closet is not enough. I always feel like I have nothing to wear which takes me back to the statement I made above “ I am not good at mixing”. I am hoping this blog will help me become more disciplined with what I have and what I want.

What a rut!

Ok so I am in a major fashion rut. My closet is full yet I feel I have nothing to wear. I want to go shopping!!! But I have decided that for the month of March I will curtail my visits to the mall. I am just so uninspired today. I am ‘borrowing’ the above inspiration for tomorrow. I am hoping it will kick start me out of this funk.

Monday blues

I decided to pair this blue, floral sundress with black tights and a blazer to make it work appropriate. I have been trying to ‘shop my closet’ and have started to wear pieces that have been out of rotation for quite a while. I recently discovered the lovely Kendi @ Kendi Everyday and I love her 30 for 30 challenge. I know this was a 2011 challenge but normally I run a bit behind everyone else  I haven’t committed to the challenge just yet but I am 90% there. Have any of you completed the 30 for 30 challenge? (Dress $13 Target, Blazer $8 Express via Ebay, Belt $5 Target, Ring $15 Ann Taylor Loft, Boots Rampage $25)
