what i wore wednesday


Do you ever want to throw out everything in your closet and start all over again? About once a month, I get the urge to simplify my wardrobe—and wish that I could give a large fraction of it away. However, I don’t because I go through thoughts of:
“But I spent money on this, and it’s still in perfect condition.”
“Oh, but this person gave this shirt to me.”
“What if I’ll miss this in a few months when I’m looking to wear something in this color?”
“Can I wear it as maternity wear or pajamas?”

Suffice it to say, I’m not very successful at weeding things out. I do like the idea of developing a certain style—something that would stem from the simplification of my wardrobe. As I will transition to mom-of-two in the next week or so, I think it’s the perfect opportunity to begin that style shift. I want to find more of my “niche”—so that when I see an outfit, I think “That is so Rachel.”

I hope to still continue “What I Wore Wednesday” even through any awkward post-partum stages. :)

 

Dress: eShakti Victoria Dress (my color isn’t available anymore, but if you search for “Victoria”, there are red, black, navy, and beige.) My friend Ruth used this dress for her bridesmaids—beautiful!
Cardigan: Mossimo (Target) in Grey
Leggings: Mossimo (Target)
Boots: Target (old)

 
39 weeks!

  3. Love the outfit! You look amazing! The color of the dress is gorgeous. :-) I have a difficult time simplifying my wardrobe too. It hasn't helped that in the past four years my weight has gone up and down with pregnancies, exercise, and umm, chocolate and Dr. Pepper. That has meant a multitude of basic clothing items in multiple sizes.

  6. Ahhh you're SO CLOSE!! :) How exciting! I know what you mean about wanting to find your own personal style, and also how difficult it is to GET RID of things! Especially clothes! I get so oddly attached to certain things, even if I never wear them! I have been doing sweeps of my closet recently, and am SO proud of myself for being hard on myself and just MAKING me get rid of things. If I haven't worn it in the past year or so, out it goes! (Unless it's a special occasion dress or something like that). It helps! Gotta make room for BABY!! :D

  10. What a cute dress! That color is amazing on you too! I have gotten better at donating a lot of my clothes that I don't wear anymore, but it is still a struggle.
