Retail Ban Update:
I cannot believe that I ever thought I wouldn't be able to
I cannot believe that I ever thought I wouldn't be able to
handle a ban from shopping. The last time I purchased anything
was September 27! It is unbelievable that in another week it
will officially check off 30 of my 60 days.
I have been tempted to purchase a new pair of gloves but that
is the only item that has crossed my mind. Okay, also a pair of
legwarmers and a pair of arm warmers.
I think you can tell that it has been really cold here this week!
Other than temptation from these items...
my closet and dresser remix is fantastic and I have
also been remixing my shoes like crazy. I haven't removed anything
yet from my closet to donate but have, instead, breathed new life
into more items that I haven't worn in a long time.
Shopping my working closet has been so much fun!
My organization for this outfit started with my v-neck thrifted
H&M sweater. It has been only in the 40's this week so I added
a sweater tunic under it and then my black vest over it. I paired
it with my leather leggings and a pair of platinum studded flats.
(I didn't take a picture of them on their own. It was pouring
rain and FREEZING so this was a quick shoot.)
I than added my vintage 70's Sherpa coat over the entire look.
I LOVE this coat. It is super warm as well as fits with the 70's
trend for this fall. I picked it up for $20 at the Goodwill last Spring.
It was a lot for me to spend on a thrifted coat but it is in mint
condition and well, I really loved it!
Enough said:)
Have a wonderful weekend!
We are trick-or-treating at the Toledo Zoo this weekend.
I cannot believe that Halloween is only a week away
on Monday! This fall is certainly flying by.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Julie
Love! Love! The bold stripes are so great and I love your silver shoes.

Oh my gosh, you're beautiful!! This outfit (without the coat) reminds me a little of Olivia Newton John in Grease. :0) It's the pants. Hot!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI really need to look more into this closet re-mix thing. I don't have a problem with constantly buying, necessarily..my problem is more that I wear the same like 5 outfits every week. I have tons of cute clothes but I always choose my comfy jeans and tees. I need to branch out more.
You're doing amazing and those leggings rock the house!
