Working with What You Have

As many of you know, I am a bit of a shopaholic.  I do love to shop and am a sucker for a sale.  Recently I have decided that I'm not going to buy anything unless it's absolutely necessary.  That brings me to the title of my post...Working with What you Have.  
Step 1:  Purge   I went through my closet and got rid of anything I haven't worn in a year or so.  I made piles  a) to sell on my blog click here for post, consignment, or eBay  b) Goodwill  c) give to friends or family
Step 2: What's left?   Now that the extra stuff taking up space is gone, I can really take a good look at what I have to work with.    Step 3:  Put together different outfits.   I was actually surprised at how many different outfits I could put together with a few key pieces.  Think outside of the box and mix and match.  

Here are my key pieces for Summer:

Maxi dress Tanks and tees to pair with shorts  (I buy knit tops cheap at Old Navy, Target, or Forever 21) Bright chino shorts White skinny jeans  Cut-off denim shorts (I've had a pair for 6 years that I love)  Similar Version  Sundress Wedge Cute, comfy flats
These few key pieces can be mixed and matched for several different summer wardrobe options.   Throw in some fun accessories and you're set!
