Getting More Life out of your Dresses!

Today's post is about making the most out of what you already have!
When I purchase a new piece I try to think about how many seasons I
can get out of it, especially when it comes to dress!
 
The dress below was purchased during the Spring Season a year
or so ago but I am still wearing it in Winter:)
 
With the addition of boots and leggings/stockings I have
been able to get more life out of it.  In the outfit
below I have just added a fun printed scarf which allows
me to wear either brown or black boots!
 
 
So look through your closet today and see what
pieces show potential for more life!
 
Happy Tuesday!

Calming the Morning Closet Chaos!

Well we've officially made it!
It's the FREAKIN WEEKEND :)
 
Happy Saturday to You!
Today I wanted to share with you one of things I do
during the week to help with the chaos that comes with mornings!
You know what I am talking about! 
There are really two things that help me stay on schedule
and get out the door without being late and wearing mix matched shoes:)
 
#1
I pack our lunches and snacks the night before and try to make
a couple things ahead for the week.
 
#2
I take a little time Sunday evening and I usually check the weather
to see how cold/hot it is going to and see if we are expecting and rain.
This way I can plan accordingly and lay out 5 outfits for the upcoming week.
I usually tag them with the days of the week but sometime events change and
I won't wear that outfit on that day but this way I have options.
 
I got the takes you see in the picture below awhile back at
The Container Store for $0.99 each:)
I also use them in my closet as clothing dividers.
 

 
I think this really helps my stay on task in the morning
and keeps me from staring at the closet thinking I have nothing to wear!
 
Well I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Give it a try this weekend and see if it helps you out
on Monday Morning:)
