Pinterest Closet V. My Real Closet Episode IX


When I started this part of the blog, I gave myself a challenge. I would try to copy my pinterest closet using only what I had in my real closet.  You may remember that post, if not you can find it here. I am having a lot of fun with this series and I hope you are also.  I think that instead of dreaming and sighing over the cute clothes I don't have, or that I can't wear, I am instead inspired. Inspired to look at what I do have in new and creative ways. It has made me excited to go to my closet.  I feel good about what I have to wear.  However, there are two items that I kept pinning and that I really wanted.  A brown leather jacket and brown riding boots.  Never mind that I have black knee length boots and pink cowboy boots.  Don't even mention that I have black and brown 3/4 length boots.  I didn't have riding boots without a high heel.  How am I supposed to carry kids around in the super cute h-e-e-l-e-d boots?  Seriously!

Okay, it's not a national crisis, but I really wanted the boots.  And the jacket.  The thing is, I found the boots.  I found the boots for less than $50. (Actually, my friend Bri found them for me, but the end result is the same.) You know I had to get them.  So I CHEATED! I'm so ashamed . . . well, actually I'm not.  I love these boots.  They are so cute.  They are comfortable.  They are perfectly, casually stylish.  The Pinterest closet is a jumping off point for inspiration.  But if you have pinned the same pair of boots 10-20 times, you probably really want them.

And yes, I am now searching for the jacket. Not this jacket, but a brown leather jacket.  I'll post the picture of that one when I find it.  lol

My Pinterest Closet V. My Real Closet Episode VIII

I love the Bohemian look.  I always have.  It's not my best look.  I favor structure, but once in a while this very cool, very relaxed style really appeals to me.  I love this skirt, but alas, I don't own it, and you know the rules.  I have to use what I already have in my closet.  I went for feeling rather than look.



I hate bathroom mirror shots, but it's the best I could do before running out the door.  Sigh.

My Pinterest Closet V. My Real Closet Episode VII



Classic Layered Sweater.  A good fall back for Autumn and Winter.  Colors don't match but style is similar.  Rules are, I have to use what is already in my closet. By the way, the inspiration style is from a cute blog that you can find here.
