Simplicity Goes A Long Way




I thrifted this strapless dress months ago for $9.00 and I have probably worn it more than any dress that I have hanging in my closet.  It is one of those pieces that has endless possibilities and is timeless.  A true wardrobe staple.


You can take a simple, plain Jane dress and make it pop with just a few accessories.

 Add a bold pair of heels, a piece of statement jewelry, an over sized belt, a bright blazer or colorful scarf. 

Don't be afraid to play a little dress up.  I think you will be surprised at how many different looks you can come up with by using what you already have in your closet. 

Dress:Thrifted | Belt:Francesca's | Shoes:Urban Outfitters | Jewelry:Forever 21

Speaking of what we already have in our closets...I need your help.  

I am officially on a shopping FREEZE...gasp...no, that was not a typo...I said it...SHOPPING FREEZE!  

Ross and I need to refocus our finances and I am finally admitting, out loud, that I absolutely DO NOT need to purchase anything that relates to clothes.  This isn't going to be easy, in fact I will probably suffer from some nasty withdrawals.  I think I am already getting the shakes.  So, I am counting on all of you for support and to help me stay accountable.  Are you with me?   Okay, good!  I knew you ladies wouldn't let me down.  

All future outfit posts will be mixing and matching what I already own.  I know I can do it and I am looking forward to the challenge {not really looking forward to it...just trying to psych myself up}.  

Anyone else want to join me on my journey?  I could sure use a friend or two!  

Cheers to simplicity and ending freezing my relationship with shopping.
