Hey I’m sharing my ‘what I wore’ post a day early. I’ve got something fun coming tomorrow–so make sure to check back!
For Lent this year, I decided to take a break from buying new clothing. I’ve still thrifted a couple pieces–but I’m trying to shop less and refocus some of that attention on things that matter. And there are so many things that matter so much more!
It’s been a great way to shift my perspective and it’s also been wonderful to wear pieces from my closet that I already own and love. When I walk through Target, I keep telling myself, “I’m not buying anything, I’m not buying anything, I’m not buying anything.” So far it’s working. Even the cute scarves haven’t tempted me.
For my post this week, I’m sharing outfits that I’m re-wearing and loving. Here are some of my favorite, easy pieces.
This cream dress was thrifted for a few dollars. It’s pretty much as basic as can be–and super comfortable. Love it.
This black dress from Plenty Boutique is flowy and fun. Sometimes I layer a faux fur vest over or a slouchy sweater.
This dress from Anthropologie was an after-christmas splurge with a gift card from my Mother-in-law. The cut is easy to wear and it’s something different.
I see we’re on a ‘dresses’ trend here. I’m either wearing dresses or my favorite jeans. This dress was on major clearance from Zara after Christmas. The ombre effect is different and adds character. And of course a jean jacket makes it perfect for the workshop.
This black dress from Plenty Boutique has been making the rounds a lot. I always feel pretty in it. I have a thing for black dresses.
This anthropologie dress was a Christmas gift. The pattern is different than what I would usually wear but the cut of the dress is awesome and easy.
Did you give up anything for Lent? Has it been easy or hard for you?
I was just in Target…and pretty much anytime I go I have to tell myself “I’m not buying anything” hahah because they always have something! 🙂 It is always fun to go into the closet and find all the things that haven’t been worn in a while. I too have a lot…but I try my best to wear everything….because I do like to buy new things. Lent is a good time to make yourself think about what’s really important…whether you give something up, or make an effort to DO something. Good Luck.
I didn’t give up anything for Lent. This year, I’m trying to be more Christian. Trying to be more patient, helpful, and forgiving.
my kids and i always observe lent, and this year along with one of my 7-year olds sons, i gave up sugar– candy, cookies, desserts, etc. (observing from ash wednesday to to easter is actually like 47 days, the 40 days of fasting don’t include sundays which are “feast days”, so he and i have a little something then.) 😉
my 7-year old daughter gave up all drinks besides water– i thought that was great!
my last two sons gave up video games. wow.
For lent I have to give up chocolate. It is the hardest! I was also trying to not buy any more clothes. I have a lot that I have thrifted as well. Even though that wasn’t my main “give up”, when you said that, I was thinking, “Me, too!”
Re-wearing is what I do all the time. I am living in my Fabletics gear right now! You look lovely! I love your hair too!
I love your cute dresses and this mentality. We recently redid our master closet and I didn’t realize how much I already have! I made the same resolution to be DONE buying. I already have more than enough. Thanks for saying so…very refreshing!
So cute and such a great idea! You wear them all well. Have a blessed day.
