Fashion Help!!!!

I decided it was time I need to put a little more thought into what I wear on a daily basis.  I seem to grab a top and skirt/pants and run out the door each morning. I need to get back into the swing of things and work on my style.  I told my friend Kendra I was going to be cleaning out my closet over the weekend and how I wish she lived closer to come help me with coordinate outfits.  She sent me an email with a bunch of fashion blogs. I spent waaaay too much time Saturday night and Sunday looking through them. BUT I got a lot of great ideas. I read J's Everyday Fashion for HOURS on Saturday. She has such adorable style. It is also time to break out of soooo much black.  Black is a staple in my closet. If I am in a hurry just grab something black with another item and run out the door.

I went into my closet and though oh my gosh I have no clothes. I will talk about cleaning out my closet in another post. I am down to the bare minimum with clothing. I need to work with what I have and mix it up.  First I put on black tights, black ruffled shirt, black skirt and a red sweater. WAY too much black. I took off the black skirt and put on a gray skirt. Then I changed my sweater to a hot pink one. The red one is a little big and just looked frumpy.

My parents bought me the black booties last year for Christmas. How sad is it that it took a me an entire year to get up the courage to wear them. I wanted them soooo badly, but then they sat in the closet for a year. This is the second time I have worn them.

Here is what I came up with to wear to church last Sunday. I actually really liked my outfit and was pleased I mixed a few things together.

At the last minute I threw on a flower. It added a little more to the outfit.

Here I am sporting my winter hat for ND! Isn't it adorable?
