Not So Red Riding Hood...

 When the seasons start to change, I always have the habit of going through my closet, attempting to clean it out of the clothes I no longer wear, to make room for some new items.  This season is no different. For any of you who follow me on instagram, you may have noticed that I recently opened a "shop my closet" account.  

 dress, tights: modcloth

cape: vintage 

shoes: swedish hasbeens

I love this dress. I coveted it, I finally splurged, and bought it. And I still love it, but yet it seems I rarely wear it.  Isn't that the case with so many items in our closets? I've been debating adding it to my shop my closet, not because I don't want it, but because I honestly just rarely wear it, and I hate when that's the case with a truly awesome piece.

 I bought these tights at the same time I bought the dress. While they're completely fun and unique with they're embroidered Red Riding Hood theme... they're quite short for me.  The legs just aren't long enough for my legs, and so they're not comfortable.  I've worn them maybe twice for that reason. I thought pairing them with this dress might remind me how much I love them both, and inspire me to wear them more! We'll see if this dress stays in my closet, or gets added to the Shop My Closet...

shop my closet!

lately, i've been loving fellow bloggers 'shop my closet' options, and the ever growing instagram shops.  since moving last year, i've been adding items regularly to my 'get rid of' pile. sure, it's mostly house-hold items that we have duplicate of, or that we've replaced. but there's also quite a bit of clothes in there as well.  while some of it is a bit more used/old, a lot of it is in fantastic shape, barely worn.

and so i've decided to start my own 'shop my closet' in an attempt to sell some of it and make a bit of money to add some new work outfits to my closet in their place.  any items with stains or flaws have been noted to the best of my ability so as people know what they're purchasing.

so with that, you can find my Shop My Closet in the right hand sidebar. any questions are always welcome :) who knows, maybe an instagram shop will be happening soon as well!
