Playing Dress Up

Slowly but surely I've been going through my closet to inventory what I have and what pieces I  need to help me decide what to purchase.  Since I can only purchase 3 more items until the end of March, I wanted to be thoughtful about my choices and pick classic pieces.

In the midst of all the clothes and shoes, (not surprisingly :P ) I ended up playing dress up and put together this outfit.  I love the pleats and the fun details of the skirt and decided to pair it with  casual and feminine pieces.  In the past I typically would have paired the skirt with a simple and plain top but since I was playing dress up, my sense of fun and experimenting kicked into high gear and I reached for pieces I wouldn't have before.  What do you think? I thought this outfit was fun and could be worn out to a party. :)




Wearing: J.Crew chambray shirt  l  Club Monaco skirt  l  J.Crew necklace  l  Franco Sarto pumps  l  Forever 21 sunglasses  l  Timex watch (borrowed from hubby)


Funny thing is that I was close to donating this skirt and necklace since I wasn't wearing it often but I'm glad I didn't.  Here's to rediscovering pieces that are already in my closet and giving them new life.

Have you rediscovered any pieces in your closet lately?
