The other weekend we were getting ready to go to
a get together in our neighborhood and I was rushing around trying to
find something to wear and I kept thinking............ I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!
I know we have all been there but I was literally stressed that I couldn't pick
a single thing out of my closet that I was happy to wear!
I thought to myself you have all of these clothes, some never worn, and you
have nothing to wear!
So this is when I decided to take some time, pull everything out of
my closet re-organize and get rid of the items I no longer
wear! With that being said I was looking for outfit ideas and
came across a few sites that mentioned shopping from your own closet!
I loved the idea and thought I would give it a try!
Here is the site that inspired me to give this challenge a go and
really make me thing about my shopping habits!
The picture below is a before of my closet:
In all honesty it wasn't too bad but for some reason I could
never stay really organized.
Now here is an after shot:
I pulled everything out, put aside two bags for my next garage sale,
and organized all of the clothing by categories and color.
The two pictures below are just close up shots.
The bins at the top hold all of my purses, totes, and wallets.
So after I completed the closet organization I brought in Shirley to
help me out on this challenge!! Shirley is my mannequin that I bought
at a garage sale years back that is usually used as a decoration in one of my
guest bedrooms:) I thought it would be helpful to see the outfits come together
and instead of trying things on several times I could just take a picture of
Shirley wearing them!
So now onto the fun part:) I will show you the first 5 outfits of this challenge and give
you a description of each task for that day.
Challenge 1:
Colors you've never combined before
I have never worn navy blue with this yellow/mustard colored skirt before:)
Challenge 2:
An item of clothing you haven't worn in 6 months
Actually both the dress and jacket haven't been worn for
more than 6 months!
Day 3 Challenge:
Add a layer
I simply just added a cardigan to this tank top!
Day 4 Challenge:
Something that's "just for good"
I bought this dress to go on a vacation we went on about a
year and a half ago and never wore it since because I always
feel like I need a special occasion to wear it. So I added a jean jacket and
a belt to it a more casual feel. I actually really thing it a cute outfit!
Day 5 Challenge:
A dress or skirt, "styled"
Here I took one of my favorite shirt dresses and added some
fun accessories such as a funky scarf and hat!
Love it:)
Lastly I wanted to share a picture with you of myself in my Day 1
outfit! I actually really love this color combination and think this makes
a cute outfit that I will wear again!
By taking this challenge I already feel like I am getting more
out of my current wardrobe and I hope that it makes me a more
savvy shopper in the future!

Well if you are tired of your current wardrobe this might be a good
challenge for you! I will be back next week with Days 6-10!
Happy Friday!

Since I had my baby, a lot of my stuff doesn't fit. I like the idea of getting rid of stuff and trying to find new ideas. Thanks for sharing:)
