Camel

| Jacket - Old Navy | Similar | Headband - J.Crew Factory | Similar | Sweater - Forever 21 | Similar | Chambray Top, Jeans, & Booties - Target | Similar Top | Similar Jeans | Similar Booties | 

I've been wanting to copy this outfit for a while and when I saw this coat I knew I was ready.  Camel is huge in the fall and I love it.  For some reason it seems so clean and chic to me.  It's warm (unless you plan to wear it during a winter like last) and not too fancy.  It's the Goldilocks of coats.  

Do you have outfits you see on Pinterest that you like to copy?

Closet Organization 101: Clothes & Pinterest

I love organizing.  I like to organize my home room by room and then start all over again because I just love organizing.  I love it so much that it has become a large part of my job (and no I am not the delusional dater poster child, Ashlee Frazier, "Professional Organizer").

I happen to love MANY types of clothing.  Yet there I go, out shopping, and oh, what's that?  Another navy top and black dress?  We're shocked.  Over time, I started realizing that while I had a good amount of clothing, I didn't really know what I owned and didn't realize how many outfits I could make from items in my own closet.

So I decided to take an inventory.  Think Cher in Clueless.  I went through every item of clothing, decided if I really wanted it, and then wrote it down.  I've even organized my list by type: tops, sweaters, athletic wear, dresses, skirts, etc.  I then went through my Pinterest board and looked at how many outfits I could make with what was in my closet.  I also noted which outfits I could make if I had a certain item and added that to a wishlist.  I also looked to see what was a reoccurring theme to my favorite outfits, and added them to the wishlist.  Now when I go out shopping, I know what I need and what I don't and I'm not as drawn to my staples.  I'm on a mission.

Are you like me and tend to stick in your comfort zone?  Do you wish you dressed like your clothing Pinterest board?

When I saw this outfit on Pinterest, I was really drawn.  But those tights!  I just didn't know how I could love this outfit so much with those.  That was when I decided, Sarah, get out of your comfort zone.  You can recreate this outfit!  Go for it!  I don't know if yellow was the best choice to break out into the opaque tights world.  Some comments went as follows:

"Sarah, you're looking a little jaundiced."

"Sarah, I think you over did it with the self-tanner."

But I also received:

"You look like a blonde Zoey Deschanel - Elf style!"

"You're so cute!"

So I was torn.  I think it does bring a lot of color to this crappy weather.  I do have some ideas of wearing it with a wool navy mini skirt... but we'll see.  They may have to go back into hibernating, but maybe I'll do some more Pinspiration.
