Dressing down a fun colored blouse
Top – Anthropologie Pussybow Blouse (Up in the Air)
Bottom – Banana Republic Factory Mixed Media Jogger Pant (Navy)
Shoes – Tahari Patent Leather Loafers (Mauve)
It’s been crazy hot lately and I kind of thought this outfit was a bit more Fall-esque but it’s so crazy cold with the air conditioning inside the building that I said to heck with it. I think I could have made it a bit lighter with different shoes but the color of the loafers picked up the color in the blouse perfectly so I couldn’t resist. Overall, I am happy with how it came out. I really love these pants and know that I am well on my way to getting my 30 wears out of them – at least!
As much as I love buying new clothes, I am trying to be more mindful when it comes to my closet. I saw an Instagram reel about a woman not picking up a cute, cheap shirt at a thrift shop because she knew she wouldn’t get 30 wears out of it. One big thing on my side is that I usually keep my clothes for a long time – I am literally just getting rid of some shirts I’ve had since grade school. On the other hand, I do have a lot of clothes so I don’t wear what I have too often. I have started to track my wears in a spreadsheet which is helping me visualize my favorites and also force me to not just go for the same pieces, time and time again. I can’t go back in time and un-purchase all my clothes but I can try to be more mindful moving forward!
