After doing a massive closet purge and clean out about two years ago {I ditched a fourth of my wardrobe!}, I realized a few things: I had too much stuff I never wore and I actually like wearing the same pieces over and over.When it comes to the latter, I'm totally fine with that. I know what I love, what works for my body type, my lifestyle and what just makes me smile every time I wear it. And for me, that means red. It's my power color and I totally didn't realize this until after I completed the Try It, Wear It, Love It style challenge.And if you want to pare your wardrobe down a bit or mix and match what you already have, it's totally easy to do.LookingFlyonaDimeThriftyThreads

Woo hoo!!! The Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge has officially come to an end. The 31-day style challenge was all about helping people {self included!} try new things, have fun with their style and even learn something new about the process of getting dressed every day.I'll have a full recap to bring #TryWearLove to a close, but as of now, I wanted to touch on something that I see all to often. And something that I've even done in the past.Is your closet a reflection of who you are or who you want to be? Or who you think you are?Looking Fly on a Dime: Lulu's leather jacket

Housing Works Buy the bag sale, thrift store warehouseThere's something so beautiful about dresses from the 40s, 50s and 60s. The silhouettes flatter a woman's figure all while being classic and refined. So I was amazed when I came across a gorgeous dress at Housing Works Buy the Bag.The print. Halter neck. Full skirt...but it wasn't vintage. It was a modern Anne Klein frock. Either way, I loved it and scooped it up {psst: Housing Works Buy the Bag offers clothes for $25 per bag, so this cost less than a buck!}.I'm not a fan of head to toe vintage {it can be too costume-y for me} and the dress was two sizes too big, but styling it was super easy.
