CCC Shop Your Closet

Hey Everyone!!!

I hope all is well with everyone who is reading today. I wanted to show the looks I've had since I started my Shop Your Closet challenge. I will say its been fun to know that I do not have to spend money to look good when I can make what I have in my closet make me look GREAT! I will admit however, I had some weak moments and saw some items online that I wanted. However, I thought about you, YES, that's right my challenge participants and said if I want this challenge to be successful I have to be strong. This is what I want to show to whomever will listen and learn that our wardrobe is a part of us. We make our clothes work for us. I mean we did work hard toward the clothes we have in our closet right? Even if its vintage/thrifted pieces its ours. Make it work for you. Another lesson that you can learn out of this challenge is that there may be more pieces that you may have to include to complete your closet. Pieces such as, an all white button-up shirt, basic black skirt, gray/brown/black dress pants etc. Keep up the good work to you ladies and even gentlemen who maybe using this challenge to help save money also. Also I had the pleasure to work with a good friend of mine who needed an outfit from her closet. When I went through her HUGE closet I finally saw the outfit that she even mentioned she would not have thought of that outfit. There is even a YouTube video for the look that will be added on my page. ClassyConfidentCurves is my name on YoutTube.
Here is the week's outfit and my friend Stacy who I styled from her closet.




Hope you have enjoyed and continue to Shop Your Closet!!! xoxo

Classy Confident Curves Shop Your Closet Challenge

Hi everyone!!!

Hope all is well with each and everyone of you. I wanted to take a moment to discuss the challenge that I decided to start for the month of February. Before I gave the green light on this challenge which is nothing new I researched the words shop your closet on Instagram and saw that a lot of women were giving their closets some much needed attention. I know as women we spend a lot of money on clothes, shoes, and accessories to look great. However, have you noticed by looking in your closet that there is still clothing that still have the price tags on them? This is when you know you either have a loss of memory lol or you are buying unnecessary clothing. I believe buying on impulse is the worse thing a person can do. That shirt or pair of pants was so cute in the store but did you think about what you would wear it with? Anytime I visit the mall in particularly I would also go in with a mindset of why I am there. This would help me limit by impulse buying. We know that does not work all the time so we still have that 100th black top that we thought was so different with that price tag still on it just sitting pretty in our closet. So this #CCCShopYourCloset Challenge will put our wallets away and bring out our creativity to start making better use of our clothing. This will also give you a moment of clarity about your spending habits and maybe set aside clothes that could be given away. Because maybe you'd lost weight and when you were about to take the price tag off that skirt you realized someone else could use this instead of you. I try to show an outfit everyday of the week at the same time show the interchangeable ideas you have with your clothing. Remixing also shows how your clothes can work for you and you getting your money's worth. So I hope you ladies and gentleman enjoy the challenge. I will add my outfits through the week just to show you I am keeping up with the challenge also.




Have fun and Happy shopping!!! xoxo
