Styling My Closet

On a bored day last week, I decided to revamp my closet a little. Over the past few months, I have had a select variety of go-to outfits. For how extensive my closet is, I definitely needed to think of some new outfit ideas. I was also inspired from a marathon of the Rachel Zoe Project. I started putting together possible spring looks new outfit combinations. To help me remember my new styles, I started taking pictures of my looks. I was really getting into this. Is there a possible stylist career in my future? Doubtful, but I’m going to share some of my outfits with you.

For my first look, I paired a white t-shirt dress with a bright, floral scarf and western boots. I added an extra pop of color with an oversized-yellow handbag and a gold necklace. This is the perfect outfit for strolling around on a sunny weekend or brunch with friends.

My second look, I layered a ruffled, floral dress under a cropped, khaki trench. I used the same bright yellow bag to draw out the yellow in the dress and matched it with a vintage, yellow necklace. For the final burst of color, I topped the outfit with a pair of textured, dark red heels. I can imagine myself wearing this to a casual job interview or a casual, chic dinner with friends.

My third look, I decided to style an outfit around my favorite pants. These black stretch pants are absolutely amazing, and I recommend everyone should buy a pair. I matched my pants with a horizontal-striped shirt and a pair of knee-high, black motorcycle boots. To add a touch of femininity, I layered on two strands of pearls and a white, small handbag. I could see myself wearing this on a rainy day in Los Angeles or a cool day in the Midwest.

My fourth look is for the casual Los Angeles interview. Unlike the Midwest, most companies in LA prefer you to sport a more laid-back outfit. I again used my favorite pants. What can I say? They are very versatile. I layered a light grey, fitter blazer over a simple, white tank. I added a necklace with floral detail for a touch of femininity. A great neutral print is actually leopard. It adds a print without being overly distracting, especially if worn on your shoes. I added a bright red purse for a needed burst of color.

There you go. I might post some more ideas later. Hope you enjoy and maybe inspire you to make some new outfit combinations.
