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!!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

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!

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
