I'm experiencing a little bit of style identity crisis. I look at my closet & see what I want it to be, but it isn't there yet, & I'm finding myself freezing up over every decision. As a budget shopper, I don't have unlimited funds to play around with, & I want every purchase to be amazing. Not just a one hit wonder, but a major player in my dream closet - a functional, mix-and-match love fest.

So I've found myself over thinking every decision. Paralyzed by indecision. 

I wasn't on a shopping ban this month, but I didn't purchase anything. Nothing stuck out to me. There are things on my "wardrobe completers" list, but I couldn't find the exact right items. Going shopping & being unable to find anything to bring home is a special type of torture.

While I waffle in the purgatory of an overactive "what if" trigger, my Le Tote subscription is an extra awesome treat for me. I love the freedom of enjoying a stylist-selected tote of clothing for a week or so, & then sending it back. Without having to weigh the decision of whether of not the piece belongs in my forever closet. Seriously, it's the best!
After I received this gorgeous leopard printed faux wrap dress in my latest Le Tote bag, I remembered that a DVF wrap dress should really be topping the list of my next purchases. I love the classic wrap silhouette & the flattering jersey of her famous dresses. Now, to decide on a color!

Gah, a think wedding planning has officially zapped my ability to decide!
Has anyone else been suffering style paralysis?
How did you get out of it!?

P.S. Today is the last day to enter to win a $500 shopping spree from Boden.

  13. Comfy, cute and super chic! I hear you on the wardrobe crisis, although I feel like yours is impeccable. Although like you, I'm going to start concentrating on more classic pieces. The number of Target hangers in my closet is embarrassing. (You know the ones with the little color coordinated size tabs on top). I realized how much crap I've bought over the past couple years, and a lot of it has been for the blog quite honestly. Not bashing Target at all - love the place - but for now I'm not letting myself buy anything unless I'm both 100% certain I will wear it next year, and 100% certain it will last that long. I think a DVF dress would be an awesome investment!

  25. Cute photos! I have this system when it comes to deciding what to add to my wardrobe. I pin all outfit I like or want to copy on pinterest boards (one for warm weather one for cold). If I have 15 or more pins of a similar item I know it is something I can add to my wardrobe. I chose the number 15 because theoretically if I have 15 outfits with one item then that item could be worn every second day for a month.
