HOW TO SHOP YOUR CLOSET

This weather is driving me crazy. One day I am wearing open-toed sandals and the next day I am bundled up and freezing to death. I don’t know if everyone’s weather fluctuates as drastically as it does here in Southwestern Virginia, it can get crazy at times. I know that my daughter’s weather never varied much while she lived in Alaska. I remember looking at her weather and it saying that the low for the day was going to be 32, and the high was going to be 34. That was typical for her when she lived in Juneau, Alaska. Here in Virginia, it might be 38 in the morning, and you could have a high in the ’70s before the day was done.
The crazy thing for me is, I am trying to look at outfits for when I go to Los Cabo in less than a month. It is so hard to look at ordering a sleeveless dress or a bathing suit. I swore that I was going to be able to wear a two-piece bathing suit when I went there, but unless a one-piece bathing suit and a coverup count as two pieces, I don’t see that happening. Lol! It is even hard trying on shorts and dresses when you look like Caspers twin sister. Ugh. It appears like I am going to have to start the self-tanning process a month earlier than I had planned. I need to have my Coppertone glow on in April, instead of waiting to May.
Does this outfit look familiar to you? Check out the post here and see if it jogs your memory. This is a prime example of shopping your closet, taking a few basic pieces, and then coming up with a completely different look. I have on a red turtleneck for today’s look, but you could easily wear a different style top. The big difference is the look today is changing out the scarf from the other post, and adding a waterfall vest instead. Both the turtleneck and the vest are from Cato Fashions, but these were purchased last year. There is a similar vest (here) still available, but the colors are different. The turtleneck is still available, but the only size left is a medium.
I have on two small necklaces today. The Jo is the red marbled acrylic necklace on a gold chain. The long gold chain is called Vienna. They may call it the Vienna, but I call it my polo necklace because it reminds me of a Ralph Lauren look.
My raw hem jeans is a pair from Old Navy. They are a mid-rise Rockstar in a medium color. The Rockstar jeans run true to size, and I like them because they don’t cost a fortune and I can try a trend without feeling guilty. This raw hem look might not last very long, and I don’t want to have a fortune tied up in a pair of jeans that I won’t wear anymore. I am wearing my normal size 10. The only thing that I changed from the last photo to this photo is my shoes. Instead of wearing a knee-high riding boot, I am wearing a black wedge ankle boot. The boot is also from Old Navy although it is several years old. The riding boots were brown, and the ankle boots are black which also changes up the look some. Small changes can make a difference.

BTW, if you look like Casper’s twin sister too, let me know. I am going to be placing a huge bulk order for the R+F foaming sunless tanner. It is 27.00 plus tax and 3.00 shipping. If you want to try any other R+F product, just let me know. I can ship it all at the same time to you. You can email me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com with your order and your shipping address.
