Wardrobe Re-Model

As I am about to begin my new nursing position, I have to ditch my comfy scrubs for office-appropriate attire.  I had a mini panic attack because my wardrobe variety has taken the backseat over the past two years.  When I would, it was usually just outfits for date nights and social gatherings.  I never needed business style attire, simply because I never needed to wear it that often.  I went through my closet and identified my “go-to” outfits.  When I compare them to my Pinterest boards, they seem a little lackluster in style.  I prefer solid color, basic items that can be worn many different ways.  They are super cute, but very boring to say the least.  I decided to try a new approach to my wardrobe and see what I can create with the pieces I already have.  Not just for work purposes, but for every day casual wear as well.  I will try to feature a single outfit that I would typically “go-to” for certain occasions, and then transform it through layering and other fashion techniques.

I am having a casual date night with my main squeeze tonight.  I usually wear my skinny jeans for this type of occasion and pair it with one of my J.Crew Tippi sweaters that I own in almost every color (don’t judge me).  Considering that I live Nashville, I really enjoy wearing my cowboy boots almost anywhere I go.  Now, don’t just assume that people in Nashville walk around wearing cowboy hats and boots every single day, because they don’t.  I just find that my boots are super fun and cute to wear, and very comfortable!  So, here is my first “go-to” outfit for a casual date night:

–Top: J.Crew
-Jeans: Citizens of Humanity
-Boots: Ariat

Ehhh, not too bad, but you can see what I mean by boring.  So, I tried to do some layering and mixing with clothes I already have to create a more exciting outfit.

Added to the look:
-Shirt under Sweater: J.Crew Keeper Chambray
–Vest: Snow Angel Puffer Vest in Navy from Nella Boutique (CHECK US OUT!)

I plan to add a scarf into the mix, but that inventory needs to expand before I am able to do so, haha!  That is another item I tend to forget about while shopping.  It is a work in progress right now, and I hope that my fashion-sense continues to blossom.  Let me know what you think!  Stay tuned for future wardrobe re-models!

Lots of Love,
