wear what you have

so friday after work, my sister-in-law 

asked me to come over so we could 

go through her closet together.

partly to purge some things

and partly to style some new outfits for her.

all in all, it was a huge success,

accompanied with 12 total outfits

and several glasses of wine!

i really had the best time doing this.
i'm not just saying that because
i had a good buzz going.

i think this could be a third "job" for me.

you ask what my second "job" is?

well, that's another post!

meet my sis, lindsey.

she's an adorable 20 something that

always looks cute and really didn't need my help.

but she needed some inspiration.

lindsey sometimes tells herself she can't

wear certain things together because she is

trapped into following "rules". 

we all grew up with them.

the no brown & black, no pattern mixing, etc. 

now, don't get me wrong, there are still

rules we should all follow - as in your clothes 

should fit & flatter your body and so on.

but to the rules lindsey had in her head,

i said (after my second glass of wine) "be gone!" 

and so now, they are gone.

lindsey was also finding herself in a rut and in need 

 of a new way to look at her current clothes.  :)

everything you see below she already owned.

besides my forever 21 necklace you 

see on her a couple of times.

(this was just for her to get the idea

that a statement necklace adds a nice touch.)

i encourage you to look into your closet the next

time you think you need to run to the mall.

i bet you could lay out several tops, a few

pairs of jeans/skirts and several accessories...

and through this, find multiple new outfits.

and that is FREE.
