If you look inside your closet right this instant, what will you find?  Your least likely worn summer clothes?  Clothes from last season, last year, "motivational clothes," or stuff with sentimental value?  I can tell you what I recently found, ALL 5 pairs of my coloured jeans.  And I can also tell you exactly why they were there.  I bought 4 pairs of coloured shorts for summer thinking I'd pretty much live in them for the entire season, out of sight out of mind.  But after trying this sweater on with a pair of shorts, I had to go back to get the long version...

  10. I'm afraid of what I'd find in my closet to be honest. And I definitely have been living in the same shorts and skirts all season.

  11. I am pretty good about editing most of my clothes, with the exception of my dresses. It's hard to part with some of them, even though a lot don't quite fit anymore. Love the yellow jeans with the fun flutter-sleeve top. Have a great week!

  41. I did the same thing with my colored jeans...pulled them all out this weekend! (and an old distressed pair too...lol) Loving this yellow pair (a color I still don't have...darn, is it too late in the summer to buy a pair?!) The dolman sleeve sweater is a perfect pairing...love the subtle ombre!

  80. Well who woulda thunk? The preview gave no hints to such a lovely striped top! It simply works so well with the yellow jeans! Great pairing really!
    I have got to get on board with those skull bracelets. I read the post you did on the "bracelet haul" you did on eBay but I've been lazy.. instant gratification is my thing lately and F21 is so happy to oblige... hahaha
    Hope your Monday was a good one.
