Three Times the Charm...

Shirt- Talbots, Look 1: Jeans & Jacket(Similar)-Forever 21, Necklace-Old; Look 2: Skirt-Forever 21, Shoes-Khol's(old), Tights-Ashley Stewart; Look 3: Pants-Forever 21, Shoes-Steve Madden(sold out)

There are few good things that come from being stuck inside during a snow storm, sleeping late, catching up on my reading and playing dress up in my closet rank high atop the list for me. In gathering inspiration I ran across a piece on Leaftv on styling a sequin shirt 4 ways. I recently purchased a similar sequins shirt and I wanted to challenge myself to find at least three different ways to wear it. I have a new rule that if I can't wear it at least three ways I shouldn't purchase it.

Look number one consists of my trusty leather jacket, sequin shirt, my beloved boyfriend jeans and a classic pair of black pumps. The second look is a more classic look, I paired the sequins shirt with opaque tights, a skater skirt and neon pink shoes. For my third look I wanted to do a complete wild card so I paired my sequins top with a pair of floral pants and nude pumps. With each look I was able to recreate the shirt giving it a different feel for daily wear.

If you’ve never spent any time playing in your closet don't wait for a snow day to do so! Pick a day when you have extra time and go for it! Here's just a little advice on what to do:

Drink a glass of wine or simply make sure you’re relaxed.
Start simple and pick out one item in your wardrobe and search for inspiration on how to style this item (Pinterest, Instagram, blogs and magazines work best for me).
Find out how many pieces you have that work with this item. Try them on and make sure you are satisfied with your looks.
Move on to another item and repeat the process.

Do you ever play in your closet? What's the best time for you? What's the worst time?
