I've been looking for fresh content and new ideas for this blog, and after a few trips to the mall and stores while I didn't have much spending money, I came up with the idea of what I'm calling "Dressing Room Diaries". Usually I don't try clothes on in stores unless I'm planning on buying what I'm trying on and really need to see how/if it fits.
But now I've realized that trying clothes on is a good way of trying on trends before buying and getting outfit ideas even if I don't currently have plans on buying anything. Lately I've been trying to think more about my purchases and not buy something simply because I like it and can. So trying clothes on more is a good way to see how I can wear one piece of clothing multiple ways and what it could go with that's currently in my closet.
So for this first dressing room diaries post, I'm featuring a few looks from a recent trip to Marshalls. Now that it's mid-August and school's starting back up, more fall clothes are hitting the shelves and racks, so I decided to try out a few new things.
(I know there's a pair of pants in the photo above, but they aren't actually featured in this post because they didn't fit and I couldn't find them in any other size.)
Floral and leopard print bodysuit and Rewash leopard stripe denim skirt
Leopard print is one of the rising trends for fall and even the summer, and this outfit features a bit of the print on the bodysuit and the skirt. A lot of leopard print clothing includes the animal print by having it everywhere, but these pieces give just a hint of it. So it's nice to see something different but still trendy.
Here's all of the bodysuit, which is actually super soft. It's definitely the softest top I've ever worn, so that's definitely a big plus to wearing it. The combination of florals and leopard print is definitely unique and something I've never seen before. It provides a nice juxtaposition of girly and edgy.
