My new challenge
I don't know if it is even possible but I decided to start a "Not buying of new summer clothes" challenge for the rest of this summer season, even though there are huge sales now. I want to challenge my brain and work harder on creating new outfits with the clothes I already have in my closet. I still have two months ahead, we will see what happens... And if I give in and buy something new, I will definitely let you know about it.
I decided to start with one of the oldest pieces, which has lived in my closet for 15 years. It is a pair of Diane Von Furstenberg pants. I know they are a little bit out of style nowadays because of the low-rise fit, but I still made them work by covering my west area with a t-shirt which I pulled out a little more hiding the top of the pants. These pants are one of the timeless items; which were made with the highest quality and great fit, and that's why I still keep them.
I added a little color by choosing a blue bag, and again, my earrings were pretty big but not bright. I matched them with brown buttons on the pants. To finish this outfit I chose a red lipstick which matched well with the print on my t-shirt.
I said at the end of June that I wasn't going to buy anything....I failed....but it wasn't much I bought. But now I am really not buying anything until the end of August. I love Diane von Furstenberg clothing, her dresses are amazing! So I of course loooove this look!
ReplyDeleteI know, Nancy! It is not going to be easy to stay away from shopping but I have an idea in my mind to change my way of buying things. Thank you so much for your comment!
DeleteGreat summer outfit, Tatiana.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Madeline!
DeleteI love that challenge and have been working towards that myself. Also, these pants are so classic that I am not sure they could ever truly go out of style. I adore the chic details that the buttons provide. You nailed it.

Thank you very much, Bojana!
DeleteThose pants are so fun with the button details: definitely a keeper. I have another month or so in my no shop challenge and I did buy one thing this week but it was a pair of pants I had been looking for for a few months: the company does not exist anymore so I had to search on 2nd hand sites and found a pair on ebay. I will be sharing them in a post in September. Now to stay strong the rest of my challenge. I have noticed that I need to wear certain tops in my closet so my goal this coming week is to work on that. I tried them and still like them but just haven't worn them.

It is exactly how I feel. Mireille. What is a point to buy new things if I have a closet full of items I haven't got a chance to wear? Thank you very much for sharing! I will be waiting to see your new pants.
DeleteI've already gone 55 days without buying anything, but I'd sure love a pair of trousers like these!
ReplyDeleteIt is great to know that I am not alone in this challenge. Thank you very much for your comment!
DeleteClassy accessories make this look perfection, I love the button detail on the pants. Great to see you in #WowOnWednesday

Thank you very much, Mica!
DeleteOh those pants are wonderful! And I really like the white on white look with the little colorful accents. Your shoes and bag are so fabulous, too. I just photographed two monochromatic white outfits which I will be sharing soon. Thanks for linking with me, Tatiana!
