Mixing the Old and the New


Skirt: Forever 21, Top: Urban Outfitters (old), Belt: Winners, Shoes: Steve Madden "Melrow", Necklace: ? (old), Sunglasses: RayBan, Watch: Citizen.

I must admit, my closet is ready for a much needed cleaning and organizing session. Despite saying this, I have discovered a benefit to having a disorganized closet. It is so fun to 'find' clothes that you forgot you had; much like finding money in the pocket of your winter coat from the year before. I was rifling through my closet looking for a top that would look cute with this Forever 21 skirt, and I came across this cute top that I bought a few years ago which must have gotten buried in the back of my closet. I put it on and it was exactly what I wanted to go with the skirt. In the spirit of mixing the old with the new, I went through my closet and rediscovered this belt and necklace from several years ago. I guess sometimes it pays to keep the clothes you aren't sure if you will ever wear again!

Have you ever 'rediscovered' clothes you forgot you had?

  5. Those shoes are super pretty!
    And I get what you mean ... I used to have a very, very small closet (thank you, college crap sized apartments) so when I moved into our new house, I found SO many things I hadn't seen in around two years.
    It was like Christmas in the middle of June! :P
