clothes, clothes, clothes

Today, I made outfits out of the clothes in my closet, not my pinterest closet, the real thing, in my bedroom.  Remember how I was super upset yesterday about losing those jeans for $4.75? Well, I am still kind of upset because I think the one and only thing I do not own are a pair of wide leg or trouser jeans.  Everything else I own.  I made over 20 outfits and only went thru 10% of the potential outfits in my closet.  I do not need clothes.  This post is mainly for me, I need to remind myself of the clothes I do have before I try to buy anything. Not all the outfits are fantastic, but realistically who can look fantastic all the time? No one.  

Four of the twenty-six dresses I own.  
I don't need clothes. 
Three of the ten skirts I own. 
I don't need clothes. 
I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of outfits in my closet.  
Clearly, I don't need clothes. 
I should actually donate some when I am thru making outfits.
PS I know I was pushing it with the red shorts and tights.  I keep seeing Zooey Deschanel pull it off, and for some reason I thought I could too.  I will save it for a brave day.  
Now, to my 6 loyal readers, it is your job not to let me get away with anything in my blog about wanting/needing clothes.  Because, obviously, I am a-okay in that area. I also want to encourage you all to go thru your closet and try super hard to make at least 10 outfits you haven't worn yet.  I have only worn two/three of the outfits pictured above.  AND, donate the stuff you don't wear.  Let's not be hoarders ladies!

  2. Yes, before I read your comment about not being confident about that last outfit I was thinking OK Gillian, you rocking that outfit, girl! I love the tights under shorts. Love, love love! And I really love all of the outfits. I suppose I'll give this a whirl too ... thanks for the inspiration! Such a good money saver this blog post is. :)

  3. I am going to echo the first two comments, I really like the shorts/tights outfit and I love that you did this. I have been in my closet and tossed several things that haven't been worn for years but need to try the outfit exercise.

    1. No, you can totally do it!! Use pinterest as inspiration. You would be surprised what you already own that's super similar to some of those SUPER cute outfits you see all over pinterest.
