Simple, but true story.
I bought this strapless dress to wear to the pool, grocery store or for lounging.
It is super comfortable. I can just slip and on go. Plus it was only $11.00.
Then, I was super bored one day and started going through my closet.
I was looking for ways to remix my wardrobe since I am trying to not overindulge on clothes.
Yeah, we all know how that goes. I can give myself a high five for doing MUCH better lately.
Anyway, back to the simple story.
It dawned on me that I could actually spice this dress up with a few ingredients.
A pinch here, a teaspoon there and a cup of color sprinkled all around.
Voila, a new outfit created with stuff I already owned in my closet!
What a concept! Absolute genius...shopping in my own home?
I may have to try this more often.
Have you shopped your closet lately? I must admit, it was kind of fun. Any amazing outfits you created with items you already owned? I would love to what you concocted.
Cheers to a FREE shopping spree.

I'm quite bad at shopping my own wardrobe - if I'm feeling in a rut I'm more likely to snap up something new :( But when I do come up with new combinations it's a great feeling! :)

yay for you! and look what a cute outfit you made!! i love all the colors together!
That's such a great idea! I have never "shopped" my closet - but I should really look through it after seeing this. I get bored with clothes after awhile and then the just sit there until I feel like wearing them again (sometimes years later). There are probably so many things I can do with these pieces!
Cute! I love how you totally reworked the outfit!
LOVE this look. Way to go shopping in your closet! I have to admit, I do it quite a bit :) Love your remixing.

Looks great! I totally need to start shopping my closet!
Do you find that you have a lot of clean up to do when you shop your closet? I can imagine that I would have clothes everywhere!

Oh i love this outfit! Love the bright cardi & the flower! Such a pretty pop of color! That dress is the perfect length too, sorta maxi dress, but not so long that you will drag it all over the stores shopping!
