Are you getting the most out of your wardrobe?

Shoes -Dr. Scholl’s Milestone Wedges (Sold Out, Similar)
Jacket – Loft White Denim (Sold Out, Similar)
Peacock Belt (Vintage 80s baby!)
Sundress (Elle for Kohls, Similar)
I never seem to want to stop wearing summer clothes and I certainly am not in a rush for summer to disappear. During these final days of summer, I like to wear some of my favorite pieces just one more time. I call this “Getting the most out of your wardrobe.” As it’s getting a little cooler in Michigan, I might have to throw on a jacket or a sweater, but it’s a great way of extending your summer shoes and dresses just a few more weeks, don’t you think?
PSSST!
There is a new internet site that I found that has used designer clothes. I picked up a silk jacket, a black jacket with embellishments, a Lauren denim vest, and a pair of leather Nine West Shoes all for $36 from the sales section. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE PRICES. Everything was in like new or very good condition. BONUS? A majority of the proceeds go to charity! For example, out of my $36 that I spent? $19 goes to the charity designated by the owner that donated the clothes. This can’t miss site is called FASHION PROJECT. GO THERE NOW! (before I buy all the good stuff!)
How do you extend your summer wardrobe fun?
Pam@over50feeling40 says
You look really cute, Shelley! I am done with summer clothes…put many of them away. I know, I know it is still hot in Texas…but I am tired of them…so I have some warm weather fall looks I try to do and then turn down the thermostat in my classroom!! 🙂
Shelley Zurek says
Thanks Pam! I have put some of my summer stuff away but Michigan can be tricky and we cling to every bit of warm weather we can.
Ann Marie DelFavero says

Lisa @ Grandma's Briefs says
You look super! “Summer wardrobe” is relative, as my current clothing choice is sweat pant shorts and a T-shirt, both of which are splattered with paint as I finish up an outdoor project. 😀 I look summery yellow (the paint is yellow) but nowhere near as fantastically summery in yellow as you.
Shelley Zurek says
Well it might be time to spiff it up Lisa! At these prices, it would be fun to try! I got 4 cool pieces for $36! That’s incredible. Could you use my affliate link if you do decide to try it? https://www.fashionproject.com/i/a5369cd4 PS. I’d love to see your yellow project. Are you going to blog about it? Shelley
katherine says
Loving the dress! Very pretty color.
Helene Cohen Bludman says
You look great! I love how you threw those pieces together and made them look so fashionable. Now excuse me, I’ve got some online shopping to do …
Shelley Zurek says
Thanks so much Helene!! Did you read about Fashion Project in my post? I am not kidding you the concept is fab and so are the clothes. You donate clothes…all money goes to charity (to ship them is free). You buy clothes, a majority portion goes to charity. They are all gorgeous designer clothes (consignment). I got 4 great pieces for $36, and now I can’t help myself from checking the New Arrivals each day!
