Oldies but Goodies






































Sometimes the greatest outfit can come from a shirt you wore five years ago. Okay, okay. If the shirt looks like you may have been through a time warp, then no, it may be time to give the shirt to Goodwill. Although, occasionally you come across a gem of a shirt you forgot you ever had. Mix and match old pieces of your wardrobe and, voila! You have just created a brand new outfit without even hitting the mall. This is great for many reasons. First off, it keeps your wardrobe fresh, new, and unexpected. Putting outfits together can be fun if it's treated like a puzzle. Experiment with different pieces. They may not always fit together, but when they do, it's the ultimate victory. Also, experimenting with old pieces can be a huge money saver. Go through your closet to find new, hidden items. You will feel as if you are getting something new without spending the money. Score! With the change of the season, experiment with your style. Fashion is a game worth playing.

Until next time,
Natalie

Stripey

































Loving this dress that I found at the infamous Tarjay Boutique. Okay, Target. This steal of a dress couldn't be more perfect for the final days of summer. What exactly do I like about this Plain Jane dress you ask? Well, really what don't I like about it? It's a great transitional piece from the dog days of summer to the brisk days of autumn. Throw this dress on with sandals, an oversized hat, and a leather tote for a summery, comfortable vibe. As the leaves begin to change, pair these timeless stripes with camel colors and voila, instant chic! There is nothing better than a dress that can be worn year round in Minne-snow-ta. I love that it mixes relaxation with professionalism. Effortless and oh so Coco Chanel. All in all, this dress is timeless and classy, well deserving of earning a hanger in your closet. This dress just gave you a reason to not dread your next grocery run at Target.
