Magenta Jeans - Style # 1

Hello Everyone,
This past weekend I paid a visit to Target hoping I would snatch a piece or two from Jason Wu's collection. I had some luck but that is coming in another post. As expected, I left the store with two more items I did not plan to buy - a pair of magenta jeans and a mustard skinny belt. The jeans are made of thin denim fabric with whiskers at the front. Although I prefer heavier denim because it provides a better coverage for those leg dimples, I like this pair as well. The brand is Mossimo - another Target - designer collaboration but on more permanent basis. For now, I think I am getting good value for my money.

Today I am also starting my work out routine with my hubby. I am so excited as I finally convinced him to JOIN the gym and he had to convince me to GO to the gym and use the membership I already have. When I go to the gym, I want to know how much for how long I need to do each exercise.I don't want to have to think about it because I end up watching TV or other people and I look surprised when after 30 days of work out I see no results. I am doing the third routine on this link:

I will keep you posted on my progress. Maybe I will even show before and after pictures if successful :)

Closet Makeover

Have you ever reached the point where you had to go over a mountain of clothes to get to a certain shirt you wanted to wear? Or have you ever taken 20 minutes to find a piece of clothing in your closet?

Well, I have experienced both a few times so I decided to give my closet a makeover. Here are the steps I took to make my life so much easier:

1) Set your time - I decided to devote at least 3 hours of my day to do this reorganization. If anyone thinks it will take less than that, you will be in for a big surprise.

2) Think ahead about all the supplies you may need in this endeavor - hangers for clothes and belts, shoe racks, boxes, etc.

3) Next, I relocated all my out of season clothes to another closet.

4) I organized similar items and colors together. For example, all shirts are arranged in one section by colors light to dark. I also separated formal from casual clothing. You may want to separate business from casual attire as well but my business and casual attire is currently the same.

5) I organized my shoes by color and I boxed out of season shoes.

  

6) I hung all my belts so I can see them.

7) I boxed my less used purses.

Popular recommendation is to donate or sell all clothes that you have not worn in six months. As a fashion blogger, I look at my clothes with a renewed potential so I don't follow this rule.

Thank you for taking a tour of my closet. If you have any closet makeover tips that work for you, please do share.

Hot or Cold, Rain or Snow

I have been in the States for more than ten years now but there are some things I seem to keep doing the European way. For example, I love eating out - I mean, sitting outside regardless of the scorching heat,  the torrential rain or the freezing cold. And my sweet hubby is willing to endure all of it to make me happy:) When we sat at the table on the pictures below, we were looking forward to a beautiful though muggy evening when out of the blue it started raining in buckets. For about 20 minutes we were able to shield ourselves by lowering the table umbrellas until I decided my loyalty to sitting outside has reached its limit. My back was soaking wet and my new shoes were in danger....

Like a Kid in a Candy Store

A week ago I had the ultimate pleasure to go to a summer sale of all major Atlanta boutiques under one roof (Boutique Bargains Atlanta Clearance Sale). I was grinning like a kid in a candy store for the whole 3 hours.  What made it even better is that I had two very good friends mine with passion for fashion matching mine.

What do you think? Did I make a good choice? Any ideas for styling? Does any of this pieces fire up your fashion sense?

My Better Fashionable Half

Hello there! I wish I could take all the credit for styling this outfit but unfortunately that will be a lie. Chris (my sweetie pie) thinks he is a fashion expert just because he is married to someone interested in fashion. I have to admit, though, that he is responsible for bringing this outfit to life. You can't imagine how impressed I was when he said that it needs a "pop of color". So I obliged and started digging in my closet for something colorful that will match the pearl gray and white of the silk top/skirt. Although pics don't show it well enough, the purple tank top helps a lot. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

xoxo,

Teodora
