I’m breaking a cardinal rule of fashion blogging by showing an outfit I’ve worn before. The. Exact. Same. Outfit. Give or take the shoes and bag. And I’m giving it to you in photo overload to boot. Here’s hoping you guys have short attention spans, or forgiving hearts.
The truth is that I rarely re-wear the exact outfit (unless we’re talking about dresses), and I blame the blog for that. I’ve been (style) blogging for 5 years now (omg, that’s equal parts impressive and embarrassing), and I got into the habit early on of mixing things up to “keep things interesting”. Don’t get me wrong: I use the same outfit formulas over and over, but I usually try to switch up the pieces every time. And it’s fine. That’s part of the creative aspect of dressing up that I love.
But you know what? I’m getting to a point where, if I find an outfit that really, truly works for me, I just want to … keep wearing it, without changing a single damn thing. Groundbreaking, I know. It doesn’t make for good blog fodder, no doubt, but I feel like it’s actually an achievement. After all, the goal of all that experimenting was to hone in on and refine my style, right?
Call it mission accomplished.
Lol, love the #FashunBloggerPose
I know full well that I’m an outfit repeater. Posting twice a week is one part laziness, one part needing to get my husband to take photos, and three parts ability to repeat outfits, lol. Not holding anything against you on the outfit repeat 🙂
Yeah, I’m thinking about cutting back on my posting schedule, and that is another good reason. I haven’t had as much time to devote to the blog lately (sorry, guys!) and I’ve also been re-wearing a lot of the same things, so I just don’t feel like I have as much to offer.
Blogging aside, outfit repeating is the ideal, really. It means you have achieved maximal wardrobe satisfaction 😉
I love that top!
Thank you! It’s an old cheapie from Gap Outlet but I love it so much.
I try to remix my outfits as much as possible (basically to justify how many clothes I own!), but definitely have repeat outfits that I can fall back on during those rushed mornings when I don’t have time to put a new outfit together 🙂
I’m ALL about the remix, but sometimes I start thinking that I’m a little nuts for not actually wearing my fave outfits more than once. Like, isn’t that the whole point? LOL!
It’s a great outfit. it looks good on you and is super stylish.
Thanks, lady 🙂
