Shopping In My Closet

A few weeks ago, I decided I needed a new summer dress. I went out and couldn't find anything I liked. When I got home I was annoyed so I decided to go through my closet to see if I could find anything to wear. Going through my closet I realized that I had so much stuff that I had to get rid of, donate or give to my little sister because unfortunately they don't fit me anymore. Damn ice cream.

I came across a dress I bought a couple of years ago and I was so happy to find it. The colors remind me of summer. It is light, figure flattering and best of all still fits!



{Dress: Forever 21 {old} - Platforms: Lulus.com {sold out} - Jean Jacket: Express {recent} - Bag: Coach {old}


I am so guilty of saying, "I don't have anything to wear." The reason is because all the stuff I'm not wearing is hiding all the great stuff I could be wearing.

I've decided that I need to do this a lot more often. Purge out my closet of shoes and clothes and find the gems that have been hiding.

Do you shop in your closet?

  1. Did you see my post yesterday? It's full of ideas how to purge your closet and figure out what you like and what to buy! I got the ideas from an ebook - The No Brainer Wardrobe

  2. I just donated 10 bags of clothes that don't fit anymore (damn breastfeeding boobs lol) and found some cute things that DO fit that I forgot I have!

  3. I love the dress a lot Faith, a closet purge would most definitely be a good idea if things are a little, or a lot packed in there but make sure not to throw anything out that you like too much!

  6. Rockin it Faith. I totally do this. I tried to make a deal w/Jared that I could get something new for every three things I throw out. Then he saw the bags I was able to collect from the black hole I lovingly refer to as "closet" and the offer was rescinded.

    Lame. I suddenly feel like I should be doing some online shopping..

  9. I try to clean out my closet about twice a year! Usually before summer and winter! I give all my clothes away! But I always find something that I forgot I had! Because its covered up with what all I do wear, like you said!

    BTW I love that dress!

  18. I purge my closet pretty consistently, so there isn't always a lot to choose from. I usually get rid of stuff if it's sat for about a year!

  19. cute dress doll...it's very boho chic.
    I constantly say that I have nothing to wear but I have a closet filled with clothes.
    Lately, I have been shopping my closet to save money AND because I'm running out of room.

  28. Hello! I'm a new follower (hopefully if I did it right. I'm still getting the hang of blogs ^_~ ) and I love your blog. I think you and your husband are hilarious and your relationship with your sisters kind of reminds me of mine with my own sisters!

    Anyways, no, I never really shop in my closet. Not unless I'm desperately tired of everything else I've already worn, and since I just mostly wear jeans, my daily wardrobe is not that extensive. Oh! And I love that dress! Forever 21 is the bees knees!

  29. Get it girl! I still have clothes in my closet with price tags on them! I really need to start shopping in my closet too because I swear up and down I don't have anything to wear, but I'm sure it's all just hiding behind all my millions of other clothes. Annnnnd I have donated some recently and STILL have wayyyy too many. Way to save some money and still look cute :)

  30. Faith.. You look PHENOMENAL! Always do! I love this dress! It definitely screams SUMMER! :) And I love "shopping in my closet".. especially if we just picked up dry cleaning ;) Girls will always have too many clothes and will always overuse "I don't have anything to wear". It's in our nature :D
