Moody Picks – Fall Now, Winter Later

The weather here in Florida finally started getting a little bit cooler, so it’s officially time for me to start thinking about ways to layer up during chilly temperatures.  But instead of reaching for my trusty old jacket again this season; it might be time for me to grab something that incorporates the newest fashion trends.  During my search I realized that keeping warm doesn’t have to come at the expense of style.  You can definitely find a silhouette that fits both your body type and your wallet.  Bundle up in my Moody Picks below and let me know which one of these is your favorite.

Moody Picks – Leopard is a Neutral

Jenna Lyons definitely got it right when she said, “As far as I'm concerned leopard is a neutral."  Like Jenna, I take my leopard in small doses and I believe leopard print shoes are the easiest way to liven up an outfit.  I’ve always loved the look of leopard print and as a result this print is slowly taking over my shoe collection.  One can never have too many shoes right?  Well, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite leopard shoes from this season that will be sure to add a little flair to your life.  Are you looking to add a touch of leopard to your wardrobe?  What’s your favorite way to add leopard to your outfits?

Moody Style: A New Challenge

Hiya ladies! Lately, I’ve been thinking about the amount of clothes that I have in closet and dresser drawers.  And frankly I’m pretty appalled.  My wardrobe has gotten a little ridiculous and out of control over the last several years.  I have way too many clothes that I don’t have enough room to store them.  And to top it off, some of the pieces still have the tags on them.  So, I decided the other day while I was stuffing some clothes in my closet that I need take a shopping break for a little while.  I need to focus on wearing the clothes that I have and figure out what clothes I don’t need.  So, over the next couple of months I will be wearing some new and some very old pieces from my wardrobe.  I would love to do the 30 for 30 challenge, but I have to wear suits to work most of the time, so the challenge wouldn’t work for me.  So I came up with my own challenge.  I will wear all of the clothes that I own before I am able to buy myself any more new clothing.  Hopefully, I can stick to it…fingers crossed J 

One thing I would like to accomplish is to clean up my closet and get rid of some of my older pieces.  I have some clothes that I haven’t worn in a few years and I need to figure out if I can incorporate them in my rotation or just give them up completely.  Every now and then, I will be asking you all for your help on whether I should keep or toss an item.  So, let me know what you think.  How often do you go through your wardrobe to reevaluate items?
