I have been feeling really great lately when I walk into my closet. Up until march I really hadn't put too much thought or effort into my wardrobe and I am sure it had a lot to do with the chaos involved in the major closet reno (check it out here). I liken it to cooking a gourmet dinner in a kitchen being renovated. Maybe not exactly but it felt kind of silly to be buying clothes when I was living out of laundry hampers.
Fast forward to today. Now when I go to get dressed I never feel like I have nothing to wear (I HATE that feeling!). And I have made a concerted effort to purchase things I KNOW will get worn, and will all work together. I am all about consistancy in our house, so it makes sense in my closet!
One of my absolute favorite purchases was this surplus sweater. I am a big fan of elbow patches and shoulder patches, but the girly detailing like rhinestone shoulder embellishments take surplus style sweaters to a whole different level.
It is great for cool spring/summer nights. I wore this outfit last night to hit the movies with my oldest BFF, Alexis (SORRY for being late.... again Al!).
Stylized fashion shoot? Hardly! Talking to a 2 year old over the railing is the reality of my super model life. Rebecca Taylor sweater, Esprit jeans, Christian Dior shoes.
Besides a couple sweaters and a handful of dresses my biggest addition to the new closet has been a variety of blouses and flowing tops (or my Jesus shirts as Sean calls them... guys just don't get it). The henley is one of my favorites.
My sucky attempt at winking at you. Cute? no. Creep? you bet!
I bought this necklace last week for $5 at forever21. Until just recently I have been a no-jewellery kinda girl, rarely even wearing my engagement and wedding rings. But I started rocking my EngLady initial necklace at the beginning of May and have developed a new appreciation for accessories.
Now that I feel a little revived in the wardrobe area I won't be so shy to step out in front of the camera more often. What have been your recent wardrobe additions?

LOVE the additions to your closet, so simple and pretty!!
gotta love my creepy sister LOL
You have such great style! I too have been TRYING to make an effort to buy things that I will wear. So many times I buy things just because they are on sale and then wish I hadn't because I find something better I would have rather put my money towards. I just bought a cute high waisted skirt from Anthropologie (on sale) that I think will go with alot!
You are adorable! I've been slow on the uptake for summer, it's 90+ in Central TX. I'm wearing a bunch of sleeveless shirts w/ cardis to work so I can stay warm in the a/c office and then be cute outside.
I love that sweater and flowy top!! I am all about flowy tops and stacked bracelets :)
I spent last summer hiding a baby bump that was growing way too quickly (I had twins in December) so I've just "found" a bunch of clothes I haven't worn in two years. Everything feels brand new!
Love the "jesus" shirt! hahah too funny, sounds like something my husband would say. And, welcome to the world of accessories - a key part to any wardrobe!!
To cute! You are darling and I am sure anything you have looks fab! To be young again. Ugh! ~Cheers Kim
Just love to see what other girls all over the world are wearing... :)
Great choices and lovely style!
Best regards, Marjolijn
Thanks so much ladies!!
Lindsey, I would be too LOL. If you keep your eye peeled you can find a lot of her items for 40-60% off. I also scour ebay regularly. I am a bargainista and would NEVER pay close to full price!
Love the henley! Very light and springy :)
I love the surplus sweater, it's such a pretty color with lots of style./ The jeans you paired them with have a pretty color/fit too.
I finally got a chambray button up shirt. I love it and can't wait to wear it with my jcrew linen trousers. Some of my personal style creations (and failures) I catalogue here:

oh, I absolutely love the Serendipity dress with the leather belt and detailing.
adorable outfits. I'd love to see the closet full of your clothes. I envision it all organized: tops, dresses, jeans.. Totally envious (in a nice way)
:-)
