The Closet Warrior: jewelry

Showing posts with label jewelry. Show all posts

Anyone who knows me knows my room is practically a cubby hole. It was originally a room for my toys when I was kid, but after sharing a room with my sister for well over a decade I was ready for my own space. The amount of things I own to the ratio of my room is ridiculous, so organization is so essential for me. My room is practically a closet with a bed in it. Lately I've been anxious to find an efficient way to organize my shoes, jeans and magazines. Thanks to my dad's help with some assembling this weekend I think I succeeded. Although my new set up doesn't display/fit all of my shoes, it does help A LOT. I'm so happy with the outcome. Despite the size, I really love my room. The way my clothing is displayed always keeps me inspired. My room is a perfect representation of myself and I think that that rules.

Now, I am anxiously waiting for the weather to make it's permanent change into Fall. If you live in New England you know how back and forth the weather is, which makes it hard to tell if it's here for good or now! It's been cooling down a lot this week (YAYAYAYAYAYA) so if it stays I might be changing my closet over from summer to fall/winter within the next two weeks!

I thought I'd take one of my favorite pieces: the silk shirt, and use it as a featured item on my blog! I picked a simple silk blouse from H&M ($24.95) and decided to show the many ways to dress it up and dress it down with other pieces and accessories.

Dressing down is a phrase that comes to mind when I think of going shopping, going out to lunch, running errands, or going to class. The silk top is definitely a piece that can be worn down in many ways:

Ombre cut offs, thigh high, socks, Dr Martens, and a neon bag.
Printed leggings (tribal, floral, galaxy, etc.), a piece of cross jewelry, and a neon bag.
Destroyed denim, brown riding boots, topped of with a neon bag.

Nothing says cute and casual like a messy bun or wavy hair with a beanie. Plus, wearing only mascara on your eyes during the day gives you the perfect clean slate to get ready to go out at night!

Whether you're going to a bar/lounge, an event, a party, or out to dinner there are ways to dress up this top without looking like you're going to the office (yuck):

Leather skinnies, a rhinestone collar, a heeled sandal, and an awesome hard clutch.
Peplum skirt, some skull earrings, a heeled sandal, and a pop color clutch.

Lately there's nothing sexier than a slicked back ponytail or bun with some false lashes!
