Whenever
a new season begins I try to come up with a way to stop my excitement
from getting the best of me. I love clothes and I love styling so a new
season always feels like a fresh start and an opportunity to shop.
I've
really had to work on breaking my bad habits. I get bored with my
clothing easily, I really really enjoy shopping, and I put far too much
value in new things. You would think that bad shopping habits are really
trivial, but it has taken a long time for me to change.
This
spring I will be spending my clothing budget on fewer pieces that are
higher quality. I've also been trying to buy pieces that I really love
instead of buying a bunch of pieces that I like. I would always try to
get as many pieces as I could with my budgeted amount but now I'm really
trying to just focus on quality, even if I only walk away with a couple
new items. None of these concepts are new but now I am trying to
finally put them into practice. I'm also rewearing the clothes in my
closet a lot more than I have in the past, and I always thought I was
someone who rewore a lot before. One of the pieces I bought during our
Robson Street shopping trip (which I will be posting this Thursday when I
host my GIVEAWAY) has already been worn 5 times. It's really shown me what happens when I actually love the clothes in my closet.
I
bought this Club Monaco skirt a few months ago with a gift card and I
combined it with a few spring-y pieces I've had in my closet for a few
years. I'm really looking forward to wearing different variations of this outfit (or, who am I kidding, this exact outfit) this spring.
To be honest, I never notice that you're re-wearing something, just that you always look great! These hang-ups about re-wearing things too often probably only exist in our heads.

I love how you styled this entire look! The leather, pop of color and floral combo is perfection and you look great.

It's always a challenge I have too. I LOVE shopping and ripping the price tag off a new item of clothing in the morning, but it's almost like a game to see how many ways I can style something I already have in my closet. A lot of people tell me that they never see me wear the same thing twice and it's totally because of how I remix, because I always repeat items...but not often will I repeat an outfit.
