Temptation Averted

Today I face temptation number two. Rewards bucks from my two faves... Nordies and TJ! I squealed when I saw these sitting in the mailbox and was quickly reminded that I can't use them until SEPTEMBERRRR!!! I can honestly report that I have been to all my favorite stores without cheating! I am pretty proud of myself...we shall see how long this lasts...

90 Day Ban...

So, if you follow me on Instagram you know that I have been challenged to a 90 day shopping ban...(GASP!). Don't worry my fellow fashionistas, I didn't agree to this until AFTER I bought my Fall wardrobe at J.crew! The rules of the ban are this: NO CLOTHES, NO FINGERNAIL POLISH, NO SHOES, SUNGLASSES, ETC..(pretty much nothing to do with a closet or wardrobe). I can buy of course, anything that has to do with the house, makeup, and necessities like that.

Yesterday I had my first temptation..my Sister and Niece came to visit. Like I said on IG I would report on my blog. I resisted the temptation and passed the test!!!! My Sister even offered to buy me a pair of shoes as a "gift" that I could pay her back at the end of the 90 day test!!!! I thought long and hard about it, because I know they will be sold out by the time my ban is over. I can report I stayed true to the challenge and said no!!! I will continue to report on my temptations (I am sure there are many more to come) and put together many different outfits with the clothes I have in my closet. I usually add 3-4 tops a month so it is easy to create different outfits. Want to know a fun fact? I have NEVER and I mean NEVER worn the same thing in my fashiondiaries on Instagram! So this 90 day ban is going to make it very hard to create new and different outfits. Follow along..I will definitely need the encouragement!!!

Being the Husband of a Fashionista

My husband, Brett is such a sweetie. He lets his OCD, Fashionista wife do her thing. Yesterday as we were in the closet picking out outfits, I realized its not easy being the husband of an OCD Fashionista! Here's how our closet conversation went..

Him- "Babe does this shirt look ok with these shorts?"
Me- "Mmmm I really think that shade of gray is a shade too dark for those shorts!"
Him- "Ok what about this one?
Me- "Mmm that pattern is too busy for those shorts"
Him-  "Ok..what about THESE shorts then?"
Me- "Mmm well now those shorts don't really go with your Sperrys."
Him-" Ok well here is this shirt..like it?
Me-"NOOOO WAYYYY"
Him- "Yah I didn't really like it either" Silence..Silence..Silence
Him- "Babe I think I found the shirt that goes with these shorts!!!!!"
Me- "Oh yah thats perfect the blues match and the shorts go perf with the Sperrys."
Him- (breathes huge sigh of relief)
Me- "I'm Sorry, Do I wear you out?"


I have to say my Husband stays very, very patient with me. My OCD Fashionista tendencies focus on shades of color and pattern mixing, and I have to remember that guys dress for comfort. PERIOD. They don't care that blues don't match up... they don't care if their shorts don't flow with their Sperrys and they don't care if they are dressy on top and casual on the bottom!

I may or may not have taken him to Express and put together outfits and bought them to where I don't have to be involved as much, and I don't wear him out when we are picking outfits out in the morning!

See.. Doesn't he look so cute here??

Chambray Love

If there is one thing that I constantly go to in my closet, I would have to say it is my denim chambray shirt! I absolutely love it..It has transitioned from Fall to summer, and I just love pieces like that!! I found  mine at Target for a great price back in the Fall, but I see them at most stores now. Here are a few ways that I have worn my chambray...

Needless to say.. if you don't have a chambray shirt...GET ONE!!! It adds a unique, fun look to a variety of outfits!!! I prefer a lighter color...

A Change of Heart...

I have never really liked stripes...they never appealed to me in clothing, and to be quite honest I never owned anything with stripes until this year! Now I am in LOVE with stripes...When I start to love something, I really have to watch myself, because before I know it I will have a closet full of stripes, or neons, or polka dots. I was recently at Target Saturday, Sunday, Monday  and noticed they had some really awesome stripes going on. I decided to put together a Polyvore set for all my classyclosetconfessions friends! These are all super affordable pieces, and I tried to include everyones different take on stripes... not so much a stripe fan? Maybe start out with some flats. Lovin' stripes like me? Go for the dresses! Kinda don't know? Try this super cute top with a peter pan collar!







Yes the chair is random but super cute right? And I can't believe its at TARGET!!

Oh and the flats are from American Eagle..just a heads up! You can find out all the deets here

And here are my casual stripes I had on today!! XXO~K
