Clothes I Never Wear

How often do you stand in front of your closet and see clothes you cannot remember wearing, maybe EVER? Today I decided to do an outfit post on those so often ignored pieces.

This metallic peacock green dress I've owned for YEARS, and I've been telling myself I'm going to have it altered to fit me correctly for that long too. Procrastination city! The ruffled cream bolero I nearly forced myself to wear to a wedding I attended in California. Thankfully, it matched well I thought. But before that, I'd never worn it once. And those cute brown metallic tights I bought brand new, I had so many plans to wear them out with cute lil' black mini dresses! This photo is the very first time I've ever put them on! It's true. Happy to say I did have many nights out with those cute black bow high heeled shoes tho . . .  in my twenties. . . *sigh*

What I've decided to do: I'm going to probably list the dress in my shop for someone it will actually fit right, give the bolero to my sis or a friend to have for a while.  And I think I have to keep those tights & cute heels to wear them on my next date with my man. Oh, girls! The road to overflowing closets is paved with good intentions! ;)

AND NOW . . . your turn! Yes, I'm challenging you - go to your closet and make an outfit of the clothes you never wear! Go ahead, put them all together and see what you've got. Time to give them a new life, or give them up.

XOXO

  6. Queen, I think we buy them with completely good intentions! I just think we need to put those intentions to use more often maybe. Or a simpler answer would be, because they look so DARN pretty on the racks! ;)
