TGIF all!
Now that I’m committed to shopping my closet, I find it easier to stave off urges to purchase new clothes. By concentrating on what I already have, I’m finding a lot of clothing I’ve rarely worn. These printed pants from Eloquii are a prime example of this. When I saw these pants two years ago I HAD to have them. While I absolutely love these pants, I never really got around to wearing them because I continued to buy more stuff (I know, bad Georgette!). It’s a shame because these pants look great on me! Shopping my closet is teaching me to be content with what I have and being okay with not having all the latest trends in my wardrobe. Now when I get ready in the morning, I say “I DO have something to wear!”
All this remixing has got me thinking about a challenge. Maybe a 7×7 to start off? Hmmm…what do you think? Would you be interested in joining me?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Pants: Eloquii (bought 2yrs ago)
Sweater: Old Navy (old)
Shoes: Forever 21 (here, up to a size 8.5 left)

I love remixing challenges! I started the year off with a 20 x 30, and I’ve done a 7 x 7 as well. If you do a challenge, I’ll do it with you. 🙂

Thank you so much! Im glad you like my outfit! 🙂
You look amazing, as always! And if you do a challenge, I’ll do it too! I’ve done the 30×30, and it was great. Never tried a 7×7, although it seems much more manageable, lol. 😀

Thank you! Im working my way to a 30×30. I thought I would start with 7×7 to ease into it! LOL
I’m in for a 7×7 challenge Ms. G! Let ‘er rip! Lovely outfit btw – those pants! Thos are definitely a year round purchase – I can see those in the winter with boots and your leather jacket. You ALWAYS kill it!

Thank you so much! I love blue & yellow together!
Hey, Georgette! Now that you are “shopping your closet” I’d love to see a photo of your closet, and you shopping it! If you don’t already do so, a great way to organise it is in colour, so that way you can pick colours that go together. Also I used to arrange styles together (i.e. long skirts together, short skirts together, etc). As always, I just LOVE what you have put together for today’s photo shoot. xo

Thank you so much! Just for you, I will do a closet post soon, I promise! 🙂
Can’t wait!
Hi there,
I usually don’t leave comments but I thought this was special because I cleaned and reorganized my closet earlier this evening. And after looking at all of my clothes and accessories I realized I could hold off on the shopping. Anyway I thought it was kinda cool that I stumble upon this site and other women were on the same wave length. I do like the outfit you put together, the print and colors are fresh. I do have a question, what is all this talk about 7×7 challenge? What does it mean?
Thanks,
Rafunzel

Thank you so much for commenting! Im glad we are on the same wave length! A 7×7 challenge is picking seven items of clothing & wearing those items for seven days.
I am so in need of help with my wardrobe. It’s been so long since I’ve paid attention. I found you and have hope for my summer!!
