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.

I have lots of things that live in my closet and never see the light of day. :) I absolutely love your bolero though. I could wear that with a million things. I have closet envy!
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite the challange..like my whole closet! LOL I am one of those people that when I love something I wear it pretty much everyday and forget I even have other clothes in my closet LOL That bolero is amazing though!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you girls, I thrifted that cute little thing, can you believe it? When I saw it was silk, I just had to have it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of clothes like that...I need to have a sale on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI like this challenge! I'll see what i can do :-) Why do you think we buy all these things?
ReplyDeleteQueen, 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! ;)
ReplyDeleteohhh i did this the other day!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! I also had a lace bolero i havent worn in ages.
i'll have to post when i get back
Yes, that would be my entire wardrobe too! The green dress looks lovely, the colour totally suits you! x x
ReplyDeletecute outfit!!
ReplyDeleteoh I love this! I have a pair of black sparkly tights and love them but hardly ever wear, when I did wear them someone called me 'disco legs'...ha! hey that bolero is cool, but yip if you ain't wearing someone else may as well be....
ReplyDeleteThat bolero is so cute! Yes, my closet needs a big ole cleaning out. Feh. Not something I'm looking forward to doing.
