Some days I wake up knowing exactly what to wear, but I love days like today where I have no clue and discover something I had forgotten about in my closet and pull together a new look. This tunic was something I found once again at Crossroads Trading Co, and now that I am out of hangers I had it hiding under a Marc Jacobs Coat. I loved the navy and raspberry pink colors on this and could not help noticing it while digging around my closet. I tried it on and then realized it needed to be belted. The obi belt is one I have had since high school, and I believe today is the first time I have worn it. Some things should just never be thrown away because you never know when you might be able to find a perfect match for it.

Changes are a coming! I have changed my blog around by adding past articles, and intend to add more samples of writing. Lately I have not had time to really write about my day, or the stories behind my clothes, and have only been able to post the photos of an outfit. It has been about 3 months since my first post, and I am very proud of the fact that I have been able to be consistent in terms of when I add a new post and made it a habit. While a lot of the things I started off with have changed, my goal has remained the same. I am trying to improve my writing, and share my personal style.
Today’s outfit is a little plain, and the coat is actually one thing my sister was letting go of during our spring cleaning. I immediately snatched it up knowing it would be a great basic that could go with many things. I love how it has just the right amount of volume, and the zipper detail by the pocket is kind of edgy. My favorite part of the outfit, however, is the umbrella. I like how Coach factory stores have umbrellas for like $30 and allow for one to own a bit of luxury at an affordable price (compared to their purses). The Coach purse I have on me is actually another item cleaned out of my mom’s closet, and all I could day is score! I will definitely be utilizing it with the coming spring weather. My own cleaning is still a work in progress, but I am also on a really tight budget in order to save up for a new camera, luggage, and travel money for the summer. I just have to be more creative with what I have, and very strict about what comes in my closet. And while it might sound daunting, that is actually a fun challenge I have eagerly accepted!
