Favorites for a Reason

September 14, 2011

Despite my penchant for new novelties, I’m a creature of habit.

I wear the same outfits over and over that I don’t feature them on my blog too often. I keep thinking that you’ve already seen it already and who wants to see the same thing every week?

Outfit Details: Madewell jacket – XS, Banana Republic top – XS, Madewell jeans – 24, thrifted studded belt, Mare ankle boots

Shop: jacket, top, jeans, boots

My favorite outfits always give me extra confident and energy. Life has gotten pretty busy lately that I don’t want to think about my outfits. So I reach for my tried-and-true looks. It’s usually heavy on the neutrals and sometimes, things work best with less color.

With little tweaks to this uniform, it looks slightly different with a different attitude…and that’s what I love most. In my head, my next version would have skinnier stripes when I find a skinny stripe long sleeve tee. If you know of one that fits the bill…let me know!

Jess I know what you mean! I usually wear the same outfits each week – hey if I feel good in it why change it up? Especially with how hectic life is these days! I just don’t have time to “experiment” with my closet so I end up wearing the same things over and over again.

I REALLY love that jacket! I’ve never shopped Madewell but I know you love it, I should give it another look!

I am a creature of habit as well (that’s why I don’t blog daily) ..lol. It’s fun to try new things once in a while but I tend to stay true to my style. I’ve seen a long sleeve striped tee at American Eagle last week. You might want to give it a try. It looks really nice in person.

I find myself doing the same thing. I really have been trying to explore new things, but I might just give in and get more classics that I find I wear more. That was the goal for this month, anyway. I do envy those who can easily and comfortably put together colorful outfits daily, tho

Nice outfit! I definitely agree with wearing the same outfits over and over again. I’m still on my pursuit for a minimal and effective wardrobe. How’s yours going? Saw your post on crafting your wardrobe : )

I always repeat looks….I’m always running late in the morning! Its so easy cuz I have those tried and true combinations!

My sister bought skinny stripes tshirt at h&m recently, but it tight fitting with scoop neck and puffy sleeves (not my style and I don’t think yours either!) but maybe they have other skinny stripes tshirts (and with longer sleeves)?

I hadn’t stepped in one of these teenie bopper stores in ages, but discovered this skinny striped T during the labor day sale. It’s incredibly soft, I love it:
