Come Out Of The Closet

Labor Day has come and gone which, in fashion terms, means its time to switch to your fall wardrobe! We were very excited when we went digging through our own winter wardrobes and uncovered pieces that we completely forgot we had. A black knit sweater dress, a vintage handbag, a dramatic wrap sweater, and work-ready trousers were just a few of the items. Leaving off-season items dormant for a few years (or even just one season!) allows you to breathe new life into them when you re-introduce them to the world. You are a little bit older and wiser, and chances are, your fashion perspective has shifted since you last wore these pieces. Creating a chic outfit by incorporating this older item into your repertoire will make it seem as though you have just gone shopping! There are a few rules to go by when it comes to this faux-shopping extravaganza: first, make sure that your "new" old items are classic, timeless pieces so that no one else will know that you are recycling clothes from another season. Also, don't try to pull off a sweater that is completely pilled or has lost its shape - it will not look good. And finally, be sure to switch up the ensembles you wear with your old clothes; pairing it with pieces you've never worn with it before will help to make it seem brand new. Enjoy shopping!
