Closet zombies



strippy_shirt_beige_skirt
Strippy top, PULL & BEAR. Skirt, ZARA. Ballerina flats, Camper. Grey scarf, H&M.

I love that skirt!
You know, it was one of those pieces that you fall in love with, you buy them, hang them in your closet and after one year, they're still there, in the same place, tags hanging and all. Not one of our proudest moments, right? I got this skirt a couple of years ago and I only started wearing it these past few days. And you know why? Because, before, I just wasn't used to wearing skirts that high up my waist. And now that gave in, I just can't stop!
So, don't give up on those closet-zombies. Dig them out and give them a try. You might discover one of your new favourite pieces.

Love the first picture! Your hair is gorgeous! And the skirt looks fantastic too!
Sometimes opening the closet feels like shopping, like Lindsay Lohan once said!

Oh dear, I never had this problem..Mine is i buy sth because i like it and then i get bored of it after wearing it a million times in a raw.
Love the blues, love the scarf, love the skirt. You can never tell how old is sth, as long as it s maintaned.

Η πρώτη φωτογραφία είναι απλά τέλεια.
η μπλούζα αυτή είναι μάλλον από τις πιο ωραίες σου που έχω δει ως τώρα.
κάνει και λίγο navy αν και δεν είναι η κλασική μαρινιέρα.
-και η φούστα είναι κλασικό στυλ "Λόπι". απορώ πως ντυνόσουν πριν που λές ότι δεν φορούσες φούστες. εμείς έτσι σε έχουμε συνηθίσει.

I'm thinking of following your advice as I have so many clothes I never wear.I believe you must dare to wear it and stand out the crowd...

You look so great! Love seeing your summer posts.

I'm guilty of the same thing ... and it's so gratifying to put a closet zombie to use, finally. Glad you held onto this darling skirt!

ShoppingTherapy said...

can't really follow your advice, got rid of everything I never wear/have never worn a couple of years ago, and continue to do to so every season, since it is too exhausting for me to give them another chance. maybe I should try more...

Χι, χι! Την έχω αυτή τη φούστα! Πάει με όλα και όλες τις ώρες. Είναι φοβερή και, τώρα που το λέμε, δεν την έχω φορέσει καθόλου φέτος. Αν τη βάλω, θα τραβήξω μια φωτογραφία να ανεβάσω.
