Refresh Your Look – in Your Own Closet!

Have you ever looked at your wardrobe and thought, “I have nothing to wear”? We have all been there! It’s easy to get stuck in a fashion rut and feel like you have nothing to wear. Even the most fashionable of us fall victim to this. 

Shopping for clothes can be a fun and exciting way to freshen up your wardrobe, but it can also be very costly. Fortunately, there is another option: shopping your own closet!  I guarantee you probably have several amazing outfits you haven’t thought of yet hanging in your closet right now.

I really loved this look, it was put together from pieces that I’ve had in my closet for over a year. Shopping your own closet forces you to push the envelope.

By taking a few moments to sort through your closet, you’re bound to uncover some hidden gems that you’ve forgotten about. Freshening up your wardrobe doesn’t have to involve buying new items, you can mix and match your current pieces to create a variety of new looks. You can try out styling techniques and combine pieces in unexpected ways. Even basic items like plain t-shirts and jeans can be transformed with a few clever styling tricks. This can be a fun and creative way to switch up your style without spending a fortune. Plus, it’s a great way to get more mileage out of your clothes before buying something new. 

I’ve had this skirt for over 5 years and have only worn it once, I decided to pull it out and style it with some other pieces in my closet. I paired it with a chunky sweater and a pair of boots that were just sitting in my closet.

Shopping your own closet can be intimidating, but it’s time to put those unworn pieces to use. By taking a closer look at what you already own, you can be sure that you’re investing in pieces that you’ll actually wear rather than spending money on impulse purchases. So why not give it a try? You might be surprised by the looks you come up with! 

These are more current pieces in my closet, but I don’t have to purchase anything new to create this look.

Here are five easy steps to get you started: 

1. Start small. Pick one item that you haven’t worn in a while and plan a whole outfit around it. 

2. Take a look through your accessories. Accessories can make or break an outfit, so don’t forget about them! 

3. Make use of your basics. Denim, white t-shirts, and other basics are the building blocks of any good outfit. 

4. Think outside the box. Try pairing items that you wouldn’t usually think of pairing together. This is a great way to create something new and unexpected. 

5. Try something new. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try a new trend or style. It’s a great way to add some variety to your wardrobe. 

Are you ready to shop your own closet yet? I’ve been doing it for the last two months, it’s not easy, but it does help with me shopping just to be shopping. I’m starting to become more intentional with the pieces I’m looking to add to my wardrobe.

Let me know in the comments how this works for you.

I love a good vintage pen and I wanted to add some to my denim jacket for a little razzle dazzle. I came across some really good finds on @etsy

Pause!! Have you even worn the stuff you bought last month?

Next time you say “I have nothing to wear” remember all those pieces at home with tags still on them?
