Shop Your Closet [ 2 Weeks of Outfit Inspiration ]

Shop Your Closet // Viva Bang Bang

By now you might have heard of my cheap lady ways, so today I’d like to share with you the 2 weeks of outfits I made using mix and match pieces that were already in my wardrobe and that I came to own for very little money.

Shop Your Closet // Viva Bang Bang

I happen to be very lucky in the hand-me-down department because I have two stylish ladies that like to give me their nice, pre-loved clothing (Mom and Rhonda, that’d be you guys), so when I actually shop for new and new to me clothing, I usually shop at thrift stores and discount stores unless I can’t find a specific piece or need a good investment item (white t-shirt, basic shoes, etc.). 

Even though several of the things I’m wearing are hand-me-downs or gifts and cost me nothing, I think that you could easily find similar pieces (except for maybe the shoes and white button up-it’s hard to buy white at a thrift store) at Goodwill and other thrift stores. Labels like Ann Taylor, Gap, Banana Republic, The Limited and Old Navy are pretty easy to find at Goodwills around here. I would also like to note that some of the things I’m wearing are a few years old.

I ask that you excuse the low quality of the photos and also the low quality of my modeling skills : )

Here’s a list of everything I’m wearing in these photos and how much they cost me. If I missed something, let me know!

    Oh my gosh – you look so pretty! Love every one of the outfits and I really want that printed skirt! Not remembering the necklace – too small to see in the pics. Makes me want to go through my clothes!
