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?

Fancy Tights

Hi everyone.  Have you all been by Anthropologie lately?  I’m really trying to be good and slow down my shopping. However, it’s very hard to say no when Anthro has some great sales. Anyways, last Friday I popped into Anthro and tried on a ton of clothes, but only left the store with some fancy tights.  I picked up the three amazing pairs seen below and I can’t wait to wear them.  I wanted to try something a little different and bold to add some spark to my wardrobe. I wear a lot of suits and basics throughout the week and my look is pretty boring most days.  Basically my work attire is very conservative.  I figured that I could jazz things up a bit with some fancy patterned tights under some of my suits and dresses.  The only tights that I wear now are mostly black, grey and brown.  So I thought to myself that some textured/pattern tights would be a great way to come out of my comfort zone.  My next adventure will be to grab a pair of colored tights – you know, something that really pops! Do you have any favorite patterned or colored tights?  Let me know!
