Happy 2014! One of my resolutions is to get more mileage out my wardrobe, so I’m starting off the new year with some old favorites. That means reviving an old polka dot sweater for the first time in over a year.
As a blogger, I sometimes feel like there’s a pressure to constantly be buying new clothes and wearing the latest trends. Hey, I’m all for shiny new things, but there’s something even more satisfying about breathing new life out of old clothes. Granted, I did just scoop up a bunch of new clothes on sale over the holiday break, but I promise to wear those pieces to shreds!

I know exactly what you mean about feeling the pressure to buy new things as a blogger but I think it’s great to bring out old pieces and remix them, which is what I’ve also been trying to do 🙂
love this outfit, the polka dots work so well with the navy skirt!

Thank you Kristin!
I did the same thing today! I’m guessing if your closet is as well-stocked as mine is, we should both have plenty to wear without shopping for a looooooong time. But if I could make it a couple weeks, that would be enough for me. 😉

Haha totally agree! I’m thinking of setting a monthly budget for myself — sounds easy enough, I’ve just never done it before!
Girl. Your comment made my day. I just adore your style and constantly stalk your pins! This year I am definitely going to try and curve my consumerism and work with my closet more!
Aw you’re the sweetest! Glad we’re in this together! x

Totally with you on the pressure to buy new things. I definitely need to do more re-imagining with what I already have, and less spending. Love this combo and think you’re off to a great start!
