Outfits From My Closet

Well, after yesterday’s kind of heavy post about entitlement, it is only natural that I do a post the very next day showcasing some outfits from my closet. Materialism. It’s another beast I fight. And when I say fight, I mean I hold its long slimy head to my bosom and gently whisper in its ear, “Are you cold? Cause you look like you could use another sweater.”

The outfits I wanted to show today are made up of pieces I have all ready worn on this blog before. But I wanted to show how I have worn them lately.

Do you remember my Modena dress? I admit she doesn’t get as much wear as I would like her to. I think it is because my husband just doesn’t like this dress. And as much as I strut around and claim that doesn’t bother me or affect if I will wear it, it does. Last week I wore the dress with my fun faun leggings from Modcloth (I also wore the leggings here.) And he liked it!

My Ruffled Sweater Vest! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Here I paired it with my Old Navy mustard pants and a white tee. I don’t know why I like this outfit so much, wonders the daughter of a beekeeper.

But I do. I do.

If you have been wondering if I had been neglecting my overalls since I posted about them here, I haven’t. I am still madly in love with them. I still get strange looks when I go out. This is when the Materialism Beast unfolds itself from around my waist, lifts his head up and hisses.

It’s not my fault if it spits hay at people in the process.

What is your favorite way to wear something you have had for awhile in your closet?

Help Me Choose…Pretty Please!

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!

I made a trip to Nordstrom Rack with my mother-in-law last week. We had a fabulous time together, but think I might I have given her a panic attack. I actually needed a cart. She bought a tank top. I bought quite a few lovelies. I fell in love with this dress in two colorways. It is by Free People and called Sleeveless Miles of Lace Dress. It was originally $128, but the dress was on sale for $40 at Nordstrom Rack.

I do not “need” them both.

But I do need your help deciding. Which one should I keep?

And the cream.

So, which one? I gots to be good! I do have a favorite, which is probably the one I should keep. Please help! Thank you!

And if you are all ready commenting on which one I should choose, could you please help me decide how to style this? I got it the same day. It is a Free People tulle slip. It is a midi. Meaning, it is awkward. It comes to my calves. I had lusted after it at $98, but for $40, I could not resist. How should I wear it? I am clueless. I paired it with my new Anthropologie Waverly A-Line (Thank you mom for the birthday gift card. I love my new skirt) for a date with my husband last night. I felt delicious in it. However, that is the only thing I can think of to wear it with. Please help! Thank you so much!

P.S. UPDATE: Thank you everyone so much for commenting and giving you opinions. I was worried no one would respond. I was overwhelmed with happiness from the replies from those of you who did. I ended up taking the pink dress back tonight. Thank you for making the choosing process easier for me! It was fun!
