February 15th, 2012: Valentine's Day Dumps

I Got Massacred T-Shirt from Tommy Guns Theater in Chicago, hand-me-down suit jacket, hand-me-down jean skirt, fishnet leggings, Charlotte Russe combat boots, Claire's gold necklace, gold belt from Goodwill

Day after Valentine's Day...feeling the sickness, I know.  You've probably sat up all night with your girls, crying your eyes out to man-bashing films, and eating ice cream.  At least, that's what I did.  So now you're feeling the after effect of Valentine's Day.  You're realizing you're lonely, you feel that you're overlooked.  I mean, if ugly girls can get a man, why can't you, right?

My advice?

Eh.  Look at this way.  I know.  It stinks, but you got a whole wardrobe full of clothes that will never betray you.  They love you, and the clothes want to be worn.  You have food in your cupboards that want to be eaten because they love you and they know you can't survive without it.  You have a bed that loves you and it never wants to be separated from you.  

Pretty crazy once you get to thinking about it, I know, but it cheers me up.  

February 2nd, 2012: Who Forgot It Was Groundhog Day?

Old Navy cardian, Forever 21 tank-top, Goodwill wrap around skirt, Consignment fake pearls, H&M Belt,

gray leggings, Fioni heels

I really can't tell you how much this skirt is actually pretty awesome.  It's not exactly one that you would automatically pick up in the store, but it was certainly worth $4!  

The thing is for today, I didn't feel too well today, but fashion always makes me feel better.  

Bad day?

Dress up.  Makes me feel better.

Sure, I may not have a man in my life or the greatest grades or a killer body, but I have fabulous closet full of clothes and that cheers me up every time.

And for all of those who are wondering, yes, I do NOT wear the same outfit ever again.  

"I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants."

January 31st, 2012: Mom's Closet

Mom's striped blue and white sweater, Gabriel Brothers pants, Fioni shoes

I know I may be weird for saying so, but I love finding goodies in my Mom's closet.  This sweater though has survived a lot.  My mom has had this sweater for 20+ years and it still is in tact.  This only shocks me because my mom is pretty harsh once it comes to washing clothes.  She may be the greatest at getting out stains, but she's very harsh on everything else.  So, the sweater's a literal vintage piece.  Go Mom!  She had style in the 80's (I'm still working on getting her out of it now, but she's improving!  Very much so!).  So advice for my peeps out there: Mom's closet isn't as scary as you think it is.  She'll never mind you borrowing her clothes because it's almost a compliment.  She'll think she's hip because you're borrowing her clothes now!  So find that one thing, spice it up, and go with it!

Welcome To My Closet

It's a beautiful morning...looks like I'll be spending a lot of time in the closet then.  <3
