The other weekend I started a MASSIVE closet clean out. I filled up 3 massive bags of clothes to sell and one to just straight away donate. I was pretty proud of myself and I feel like I can probably do even more slimming down in the next few weeks.
What does that have to do with this outfit though? Well, this skirt falls into an odd, but somewhat regular category of clothes for me. The pieces that I love, but for some reason or another, I don’t wear it. Then after multiple months of sitting in my closet, I pull it out and it becomes my new favorite thing. I love it because it feels like I’m refreshing my wardrobe, but it’s problematic when clearing out my closet because I can’t use the “if I haven’t worn it in a few months” rule that many people use. Luckily, I have plenty of other tests I can put clothes through to decide if I’m going to keep it. My favorite rule out of all of these? The “do I dread wearing it?” rule. Yeah, it happens sometimes.
Top: Old Navy (Same)
Shoes: Loft (Same)
Necklace: Urban Peach Boutique (Same – and on sale!)

Your statement necklace is striking, really eye catching. Looks great against the black and I love the colour. I used to have plenty of clothes in my wardrobe that I just didn't wear until I decided to just wear them even if I was only lounging around the house!
I love this skirt! But I get it – sometimes the harder-to-style pieces aren't worthy of being tossed, even though they are worn far less than some other pieces. Still, if you go through phases of loving it, keep it & wear it often during the phase 🙂
Lol, I tend to just wear my "running errands" clothes around the house, but maybe I'll start to mix it up!
Glad you agree! It's just so hard to decide sometimes what is worthy of keeping just in case!
Perfect skirt – definitely agree with your decision to keep it, and keep it forever! Loving the pop of color, too! Carylee | morepiecesofme.com
Gotta love shopping your own closet!
