If you are one of the many “shop-a-holics” in the world like myself, you may run into the problem of too many clothes and not enough time or places to wear them. I use to justify all of my purchases by saying that it was like buying a “work uniform” , but shortly after I had this approach, I loaded up a closet that is bigger than I know what to do with. I decided to catalog my wardrobe and pull each and every single item out and try them on. If I still loved it which was the problem with most, I then took a picture of it to put into my notebook of clothes. This was a great way to cast off some of the oldie but goddies items and remind myself how much I love certain pieces that I may have forgotten about! Additionally you are able to see what you own and it will get you moving through your closet and wearing it all in a new light! Here are some of my favorite finds in my closet!

I just picked up this blue blouse today by Blue Robin $88 The color is amazing and looks great tucked into pencil skirts!
This chartreuse All Over Ruffles Sweater is one of my most favorite pieces I own. I loved it so much that I bought the dark gray last week. Was $168 now $89.95

This sweater is from last winter and is always a great statement piece. The dress I got a while back as well and I always loved it because I thought it was so girly and feminine.

The wool coat! I couldn’t live without this! This skirt is a new item of mine. I scooped it up last week when I was out of town. If anything screams my name it would be this. I cant wait to wear it! For Flora Skirt $168 now $89.95

Another new find of mine is this simple cream bow blouse by Leifsdottir. I love bows so this was perfect for me. Green is my favorite color, so when we got this dress in I knew I had to have it. It always reminds me of a vintage dress in an up-dated way.

This skirt is AMAZING! I have only worn it once and I cant wait for the rain to be gone for good and wear it again. It’s classic- being black and white and is a very comfortable fit, well worth trying on for sure. Aniseed Skirt $128 This adorable bright red crop structured jacket by Leifsdotir great paired with a pencil skirt. My friend Meghan picked it up for me when she was out of town. S o sweet! This is another item that I am excited to bring out when the sun comes out again.

These two I just love just the way they are!

What a find this Plenty by Tracy Reese jacket was to come across last week on sale! I made sure to wear it right away so I could get one wear in at least, before packing it away until next year. Last , but definitely not least this amazing skirt that I got at Anthro a while back. It makes me feel like I’m wearing a piece off the runway. It is a piece of art!

I love reading your blog each day and especially love the photos. I am an “older woman” however, and remember that a bit ago you featured a few of your older friends. Can you share with us great tips on dressing trendy, yet age appropriate, and affordable (Anthro Style?) Keep up the great work. You are inspiring!

Hi Mackenna,
You have some beautiful pieces! I still regret not buying the red Armana Jasmine Cardigan, it’s so beautiful. And I really love your Leifsdottir blouse!
By chance do you know if your store has an ivory colored Plaza Cardigan in a small? I called customer service and they gave me the # to 4 stores showing to have plenty in stock. I think CS has not updated their store inventory because none of those 4 stores had it and my 3 local stores are out of stock too. Just thought I’d check to see if there’s a slim chance your store might have it? Thank you!

Hi Athena..we actually just got them in today in light beige gray looking color and light pink. I have the black one and love it! I will check tomorrow to see if we have any cream left!

Hi Mackenna, I really appreciate you checking for me! It is an ivory, sorta light beige color, but definitely not the gray. I already have the magenta color and I love it! If you’re store does have it in stock please email me and let me know and I’ll call and order it. Thanks again for checking sweetie!
