Sorry it's been a bit of a boring week around here. Honestly the combination of cutting back on spending and loads of rain has left me feeling a bit uninspired. I've been hearing the phrase "shop your closet" thrown around quite a bit lately so I thought I'd give it a try. Last night I took down a couple of boxes from the top of my closet where I was storing some extra clothes and I found a few things that I thought I had gotten rid of. I have to say it was quite fun finding things that I thought were long gone. I switched them out with some dresses that were hanging in my closet. Hopefully, now I'll forget about those dresses and months from now when I take those boxes back down, it'll be like finding treasures all over again.

this dress looks simple yet it's absolutely gorgeous. is it collarless?
You look so good! The plaid dress is amazing.
that song will be in my head all weekend...thank you!
I am so very into that summery plaid right now. Such a pretty dress.
I also love when I find things I have forgotten about. I am moving to Chicago here soon and I am going to store a lot of clothes at my parent's house. I cannot wait to dig through that in over a year. What amazing things I will find!
that's one of the best places to shop! i always keep a couple bags of stuff for some time before i really get rid of it. and i generally keep about half the stuff when i finally go through it again!
I love the last photo, where you are peeking through the screen.
Oh dear, this is another favorite dress of yours for me!! (amongst wayy too many!) You look as lovely as can be!! The whole setting is gorgeous too! Really, really perfect and all things wonderful!

I love the shopping your closet idea! With the economy and all it's useful to cut corners.
Lovely dress!
Somehow I missed this post until now. You look lovely and the pictures are stunning. I love the dress. Is that an old greenhouse of some sort? Is it abandoned? I just took pictures in my own greenhouse a few days ago, although they're not so dreamy as these. Check them out if you want, they're on my blog.
