I know that I am not the only one out there that opens their closet full of clothes, sighs and says that I have nothing to wear...right? This happens to me all the time. I mean, I might have a few good week-long runs where I can manage to put things together and be happy with them, but the dreaded time always comes when everything I have is just uninspiring and I can't figure out how to put it together. This frustrating time is what led me to think that I should come up with my own closet look book of sorts that I can go through when I say I have nothing to wear. It also means that it's time to get more acquainted with my tripod and camera remote!
Just some information before you laugh at the pictures: (it's ok, I did too so you're really laughing with me) It was my first time using the tripod and remote, and I did learn a lot for next time... like to make sure the tripod is level (or maybe I really do stand that crooked lol)! You may notice that I just wore the same pair of tights and shoes in each shot. They may not be what I would choose to wear with ieach outfit, but I just went for ease and tights and shoes are the easier part of putting an outfit together for me! It was also a recycled, curly, tie-your-hair-up, no make-up day... so, no need to see my face (it is about the clothes, after all)!
I started with a piece of clothing that I have never quite known how to wear or what to put with. It was a lovely $10.00 find from Urban Outfitters, and due to the price I decided that there was no need to try it on (silly me). Here is what I came up with!
(clothes info: All sweaters pictured are from Target, the pink one I embellished with the collar. Skirts 1,3,5 from left to right are thrifted, skirt 2 is from H&M, skirt 4 is me-made).
In the end, this shirt dress with horrible pocket placement makes a great shirt to be layered under skirts! I think making a look book may really help me. Hopefully, in the next one I share I will be standing straight, and maybe not so stiff (not sure why I was so nervous... I was alone)!
What method do you use to keep from having the "I have nothing to wear break down"?
