Closet Woes

IMG_5657


Hello there! Lately, I've been having such a troubled relationship with my closet. I feel like every thing's too big or not cut in a way that's flattering to my body. I'm sure a lot of this is in my head, but it's still frustrating. I have only been wearing this outfit for a few minutes now, since I had been wearing an entirely DIFFERENT outfit prior to deciding it didn't look good enough. It's just kind of difficult. I know what I want to wear in my head, but when I go to my closet I pick up things that don't really fit that idea. There's nothing wrong with those outfits, but it's just not what I really want to wear. I think I probably need to stop overthinking everything and just wear an outfit and stick with it. I wasn't even sure about this one, but since I've got class in an hour and there's not enough time for me to change, I'll probably leave it on haha! Looking at these pictures, I think I like this outfit more than I originally thought (let's count how many times I used the word "think" in this post so far, shall we?). When I try on a bunch of different outfits, I get kind of disillusioned about the whole thing and just want to crawl into jeans and a tee shirt, so I think that's what happened here. My goodness, I am RAMBLING. But does this ever happen to you guys? You just get so frustrated and feel like your clothes aren't coming together how you want them to?

Dress: Swap with Amber Rose
Cardigan: H&M
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Restricted

  1. I've been having some closet woes too : ( I wish there was something I could do to fix it. But I think you look great in this photo! The colors are beautiful.

  2. I think your outfit is really cute. the colors work so well together. I have those days too, but I find that the best thing to do is to wear an outfit I've already worn and really like and change it up by accessorizing it differently. ^,^

  3. I love the outfit, it's very Summery. I think we all have those days where nothing fits right, or we hate everything we try on.

  5. I know exactly what your talking about. Even worse is when you find an outfit and look in the mirror and think it's pretty great. And then you walk around and your skirt gets all bunched up between your legs or its uncomfy or your shirt keeps pulling up or WHATEVER. But yeah, second guessing clothing is the worst, because you just can't get it out of your head all day.

  6. Hahah, that is SO me! I always put an AMAZING outfit together in my head but when I actually realize it it looks bad. And I totally agree with Patricia about the skirts! That happens to me all the time!

    Anyway, I think your outfit is pretty! The dress is just lovely and the yellow cardigan adds some more pop to it :) xx

  8. Actually, I think this dress is very flattering on you and it's one of my favorite outfits I've seen you in. Trust me, I have my closet woes too sometimes you just need a day to wear jeans and a tee and then get inspired again for the next day.

  9. I always feel like nothing fits my body properly! The whole oversized and crop top trend in the stores really doesn't work with my body type. I think this dress looks great on you! I love the detail at the neck.

  10. I hate those kinds of days where nothing seems to fit right on you. I can stand in front of my closet and try on 10 different outfit before giving up for the day. You look so lovely here though. Those tights and those shoes were meant for each other! :)

  14. This is how view it... If I don't love an outfit I don't want to wear it. I'm slowly filling my closet with things I love. Always try stuff on, and bring someone with you. I think your outfit today looks flattering. I also get style books about what will look god on me. Of you can look the info up for free. My favorite style book is from Lucky. It called the Lucky shopping manual. I got mine used for $1. Oh, and I am so jealous you swapped with Ms. Amber Rose.

  15. That dress is definitely a favorite of mine! You look so ready for Spring dear! I definitely have those mornings. I go through most of my skirts and a lot of my tops. They all end up on the floor and in the end I end up wearing the last outfit I try on. We all have those mornings don't worry <3 You'll get out of your rut soon! Besides you look amazing!

  16. Nicole, "closet woes" are not the two words I would have associated with this outfit. I think it's super cute! The colours are vibrant, the fit looks good to me, and, I don't know, you just look like spring walked in the door!

    Having said that, I often get disillusioned with my own closet. It always amazes me that some days there is nothing to wear, when there were three decent outfits I was picking between just the day before!

    P.S. I saw you featured on Calivintage last week. Congrats, and well deserved!

  17. Love it, love all of it. I hate when I am not getting along with my closet too, but you look absolutely lovely. Your dress is gorgeous and perfectly paired with your tights, oxfords, and cardy. Absolutely fab outfit. xx veronika

  18. I know how you feel. I think it happens to all of us, but you really do look sweet in these pics, I love the dress, you look ready for spring.

  19. Ugh I have that problem all the time! Lately it's been plaguing me, which is likely why I haven't updated my blog much. I just don't feel like anything I own is what I WANT to be wearing, and I always change my mind like 3 times about what I want to wear. Ugh! So I feel your pain. I smell what you're stepping in. I'm picking up what you're throwing down.
