Beauty Week Day 4 - Fashion

Hi everyone! I am Heather from heatherlydee. A big thank you
to Michelle for having me on her blog! I am so excited to share with you all
today!

I think it is common to get tired of what’s in your closet.
Too often I stand in front of my closet complaining that I have nothing to
wear. I have a tendency to think purchasing new clothes will fix all my
problems-not just my problems with what to wear, but life in general.
Unfortunately, a new dress won’t fix a broken heart, nor will new shoes stop me
from missing my friends.

In fact many of my troubles can be traced back to spending
too much on clothes. Living on a budget has been a struggle, but it also forces
me to be creative in my clothes choices. Participating in Kendi’s 30x30
challenge earlier this year (see here) was a great chance to experiment with my clothes
and put together new looks that I never would have thought of before.

So today I will be sharing with you seven outfits that I
made with seven pieces of clothing from my closet.

My picks:

1. Blazer- H&M $30

2. Orange Blouse- H&M $10

3. Teal Blouse- Tucker for Target $15

4. Dress- H&M $15

5. Cardigan- Forever 21 $10

6. Jeans- JBrand from Marshalls $15

7. Skirt- Merona from Target $15

Tips:

*You don’t have to spend a fortune to look great.

*Experiment-try something out of your comfort zone.

*Wear your outfits with confidence.

*Share! Borrow and trade clothes with your friends/sisters/roommates.

*Accessories are your best friends.

*Regularly clean out your closet and get rid of clothes you
don’t wear.

*Save outfit inspiration. (Pinterest and Polyvore are great
for this.)

*Use other bloggers for inspiration. Some of my faves are: Syndey, Beth and Tania.

*Have fun getting dressed!
