Thank you so much for all of the kind words on my last post! I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I will keep you posted on my progress as I build a portfolio…and try to sort out my career again.
In the meantime, I wanted to talk about fall florals. Now, I’m a girl who loves a good floral print, so I love seeing options that transition perfectly into the fall. I’ve been swooning over the fall florals at Indigo, but I’ve been shopping my closet instead.
I often fall into the trap of thinking that I always need to wear new clothes on the blog. It’s almost like that perfect ‘excuse’ to buy that new top or pair of shoes that you want but don’t really need. The whole point of (my) fashion blog is to showcase my everyday style…and I don’t wear new clothes everyday! I’m always re-wearing old favourites (like these shorts) and pulling out other pieces from the back of the closet that I don’t wear as often.

It is SO easy to just keep buying new things, even when you don’t need them! I love that you don’t let yourself fall into that trap. Restyling your clothes is so much more fun and creative anyway!

Honestly, I’ve been known to fall into that trap. As soon as I went back to school and left my full-time job, that mind set switched!

I’ve been doing a pretty good job lately of shopping my closet lately, but now I’m tired of summer clothes, so I want to wear all of the fall clothes that have been neglected for too long! This kimono is lovely! I’ve been thinking of getting an inexpensive one for when the office is really cold!

I’m a bit bored of summer clothes too, but I’m not ready to wear my fall pieces yet…but a big reason is that it’s been warm here these days. We have plenty of opportunities to get into fall and winter clothing around here, so no rush!

A kimono makes any outfit. Great look.

It seems like some people do, and all I can think is, “what does their closet look like?!”

I’ve been struggling with buying new things just for the blog, but like you, I’ve been trying to shop my closet more and just find new and creative ways to wear old items.
I adore that kimono and I think it works perfectly for Autumn, especially the way you styled it. I especially love your shoes! So fab!
Jackie says
It’s an on-going struggle for anyone, but I totally think us bloggers have it worse 😉
Tracy says

I totally know what you mean about feeling like you always have to wear something new. I’m trying to be get more closet staples because then I can mix and match them more easily. I love this outfit! Your shoes are killer!
