Discovering my style... Part 2

Back in November I shared with you my excitement about learning to dress with less fuss
thanks to  Hayley Morgan's (The Tiny Twig) The No Brainer Wardrobe book. 

I did not think it would take be a few months to get back to you on the next step in that process. 
but it did and here we are...

I am thrilled by the change having matching hangers makes..
Hayley suggested this in her book..

below is the before picture:

one thing I have not fully narrowed down is the way i will organize my closet. 
Hayley suggests doing it by how you get dressed..
(by color or article of clothing) 

oh the choices #firstworldproblems

I finally completed the dreaded task of going through my clothes.
wedding out the too small (aka keep dreaming), the not so pretty (aka what was i thinking), and the plain i just don't wear. 

I then laid out my clothes and looked at what I had. 
i decided that I had a decent amount of pieces that could be used in multiple ways but was missing a few staple items.. 

again i relied on my pinterest board here... for inspiration. 

here is the list of items I decided were on the "need" list:

• black/white striped long sleeve
• chambray shirt
• mustard yellow cardigan
• black flats
• blazer
• brown flats
• colored skinny jeans (mustard)
• teal cardigan
• leopard cardi or blouse
• purple cardigan
• navy blue cardigan
• tall brown boots 
• floral scarf
• hoodie/sweater
• see-thru button up

I was blessed with some Christmas Money so off to the stores I went
(mind you i was still determined to use sale racks, clearance, coupons and thrift stores)

I am happy to say that based off my list here is what is left:

• black/white striped long sleeve
• chambray shirt
• mustard yellow cardigan
• black flats
• leopard cardi or blouse
• blazer
• brown flats
• colored skinny jeans (mustard)
• teal cardigan
• purple cardigan
• navy blue cardigan
• tall brown boots 
• floral scarf
• hoodie/sweater
• see-thru button up

I'd say i did pretty good... and that I have an obsession with stripes!
stay tuned for step 3 ...
