Sunday Style: DIY Outfit Planning

It's so cold out that I decided to forget about a regular Sunday post and share another fun and easy DIY I did today! 

Outfit planning! Do you do it? Love it? Hate it? I'll admit that since I work from home, I am a little spoiled and can decide what to wear that morning or even throughout the day. There's no rush unless if I have to be somewhere or if I am going out of town. 

I decided though to try outfit planning this week and I am super happy with the results and ready to get this week started! 

I looked first at the days of the week and if I had anything special going on. Next, I looked at style challenges on Instagram to see if I wanted to participate at all. I decided I could wear something every day that fit into a challenge. Obstacle one! For me that's the hardest part is looking in the closet and seeing what goes with what or if I can participate. 

I went through my closet and found outfits for the week. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! I purchased a hanging rack at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20 and take 20% off of that. 

Next, I found some paper, floral decorations and twine and made myself a tag for each day. It was relatively easy- just take a tag and write the day on it if you don't feel creative. 

I love this rack because there's room to put shoes and purses on the bottom and it even expands! You'll see I also put a pair of heels on the top to remind me to wear sparkles that day! 

I have a room downstairs that is my closet as well as a craft room. You'll see my painting called Rainy Seatte hanging on the wall. This room (when it's clean and neat) makes me happy! You don't have to have a huge house or walk in closet to plan ahead. 

Here are some pictures of my outfits and my tags:




Any tips for the rest of us who do outfit planning or want to be more organized? 

I hope you're all staying warm wherever you are today! Thanks for reading and following along with me!

    I love this Sandae. Planning outfits is one of my favorite things to do. Most of the time I use my StyleBook App on my iPhone. It allows me to plan without messing up my whole bedroom.

    I love that you added your purses! I'm not a typical purse girl but I have a lot of cute ones. Maybe if I put them with my outfits I might switch them out more. Great post!

    Love this!! I think I'm going to take a portion of of the bar in my closet that hangs full length and style at least 3 fun looks!! It's so nice to take time to style outfits and make the most out of shopping your own closet. Great post!!

It’s a special edition of Travel Tuesday on a Thursday!   Ya’ll  need to get on board with going to Galveston! If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily! This was my second time visiting but I have a feeling I’ll be going back a little more often! I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away! My son and I went and we had separate rooms and each one was beautifully furnished from ceiling to floor! I took a bunch of pictures for you guys so you can check out how cute it is!  These are a few little sneak peeks of the rooms t

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
