Dark Plum + Sandals

Hello. How is your Monday going so far?

This is an outfit I wore to church a few Sundays ago. I have to admit,I wasn’t feeling very inspired that Saturday night when I was trying to find an outfit to wear for the next day. I felt like nothing in my closet fit me, or matched anything else in my closet. I certainly didn’t feel like I had any business at all running a blog that focuses on fashion every Monday. 😉 Whenever I start thinking that way, I try to take a step back and look over the contents of my closet (literally or in my mind). After all, it’s not as if my outfit has to be perfect (which is good for me) and it shouldn’t be my main focus, anyway. I just needed to stop worrying and make up my mind as to what I was going to wear.

This outfit, though simple, reflects that resolution. I chose two pieces I’d never worn together before, added some sparkly jewelry and sandals, and that was that. An outfit that, if not everything I could have wanted for it, was still presentable, comfortable, and classy. I even started enjoying wearing it as the day went on (full, twirl-able skirts do that for me 😉 ).

Outfit Details: The earrings and necklace were both gifts. They were purchased at Walmart. The shirt was a hand-me-down from my mom. The skirt I purchased at a local thrift store.( I really like the dark plum color. 🙂 ) I bought the sandals from Rack Room a couple of years ago.

So, what do you do when you feel uninspired to think up new ways to wear the same clothes? Have a great rest of your day! ~ Emily
