Purple boots

Hello everyone!  

Back to a fashion post.

I'm curious if the last post got you thinking about your closet.

 As I mentioned in my prior post, I have represented a few clothing lines.

Today, I am wearing a line called Kokoon, they are based right here in the Minneapolis area.

Laine Sou, the owner/designer is a very creative and super sweet person.   

 I especially like the way that she used 2 types of fabric on the jacket.  Both fabrics are super comfortable and have a nice flow.  I paired the jacket with one of their tops that is not an exact color but  is in the same tones.

Where did I go with this outfit from there?  To my scarf rack.  

The scarf I choose has the color of the jacket in it.  

Then, I added the Boots!

How I track my clothing.

For several years now, I have been in the clothing industry.

I've owned a women's boutique and have sold a few women's clothing lines,

and still sell Etcetera for women and JHilburn for men.

(now, along with an amazing anti-aging line called Jeunesse, tab on the right)

 Over the years, I have gotten a nice collection of clothing.

So much, that I have 2 separate closets.  1 for summer & 1 for winter.

Who can relate?

 Over a year ago, I decided that I was going to track what I wear where.

So, I created these little circles on my Cricut to do just that.

 Well....this also showed me what I was wearing and what I was not.  Great visual ladies & men.

After last summer (which was very short) here in Wisconsin, I was able to notice that there were

several dresses, skirts & more that I didn't even put on.

 That then prompted my New Year's Resolution for not buying summer clothing from January to June.  If I can resist, not buying any summer clothing, it would not be a bad idea for me this year.

Thankfully, I have not been excited about all the busy florals in the stores.  

You are probably wondering about the circles.  

I came up with colors that represent the different things that I do,

such as attend church, Rotary, or just wear on an ordinary day.  You could have a different color for each organization, etc that you attend.  I then simply just put the circle over the hanger of the item that I wear wherever.

It has been such a good visual for me.  After you realize that you are not wearing several items, it is easier to pass them on to someone else.

Do you track what you wear?  How do you decide what to get rid of?

Hello Everyone!

Hope your week is off to a great start.

 Here in Wisconsin, we have just had a few really nice days.  

Makes us hopeful that spring is finally here.

Along with loving the nice weather, I am loving the distressed boyfriend jeans.

I have gained a few pounds over the winter and have done quite a bit of traveling,

so they are very comfortable to wear on flights.

 For me, I can't wear oversized clothing or yoga pants daily, as they do not keep me in check.

If I did, I'm sure I would gain more weight than I have.

 This photo is a good one to teach you a clothing tip.

As you can see, my shirt is pulling in the front.

There are ways to prevent this~1) don't stand like I'm standing :)

2)You can add a snap between the 2 buttons in the area where the shirt is pulling

3) Have the front sewn down, then have a zipper added on the side

(This works the best for ladies who have a large bust in comparison to their waist)

  

Have a wonderful week!  Debbie

Hello Everyone!  Hope your Tuesday has been a great one.

Today was a double denim day.  Do you wear denim on top and the bottom? 

 How do you feel about it?  With these pieces both being dark and separated by the sweater, 

I was OK with it.

The windows in my home are giving me a natural glow.  

It will be nice to be able to photo outside again.

Here in Wisconsin, we are still having cool days.

Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is off to a great start.

My outfit today was inspired by a blog done by Atlantic-Pacific. 

She is a blogger that I follow daily.

If you get tired of the clothing that is in your closet,

  visit the different blogger websites or go to Pinterest for inspiration.

It is amazing how your clothing will feel new again.

 This is one of my daughter's, Danielle!

She is just a natural, when it comes to fashion.

It doesn't matter what she puts on, it always looks effortless.

 We will go shopping together and she may buy 1 fabulous piece and I will ask her what she is going to wear with it and she will tell me she doesn't know.  We will get home and she will have several pieces to go with it.  I don't seem to have that luck.

Both of the pieces that she has on were ordered on-line, I believe from ASOS.  She didn't buy them to go together.  In fact, the skirt was purchased for events at Christmas.  The top she loved because it resembled Burberry.

The necklace is a piece of costume jewelry but look how nice it goes together.

Do your outfits come together easily or do you have to try on several things?  Then, have a pile to hang back up.  Some of you are laughing, I know!

Back in Black!

It has been a while since I have posted, so I thought the title fit perfect.

 I had a lunch date today with a friend, celebrating turning 50 yesterday!

  

 I tried to zoom in close on this shot.  I have joined a new company called Jeunesse.  It is an anti-aging company that is not only for the outside but inside.  I'm totally excited about the company.  After only 3 weeks of using the Y.E.S (Youth Enhancing System), I have more energy (inside) and my skin feels amazing (outside).  The company has a product called Instantly Ageless, works like Botox in less than 2 minutes.
