Amanda's Closet

Tweet

I've shared with you about the FALL In Love With Your Closet Challenge here.  And to kick things off, I wanted to show you Amanda's clothes, the first closet I worked with.  I hope as you look, you can get ideas for your own clothes!  And maybe you will be one of the lucky ones who's closet I will come and help make outfits with!

To start off, let's see what looks we made with Amanda's favorite Target t-shirt:

Flare jeans with a casual t-shirt,  The shirt is tucked in the front with a statement necklace.  A chunky necklace adds SO much to a simple t-shirt!

Same shirt with skinny jeans and booties.  The necklace is not as chunky, but still adds a great touch, making it more than "just a t-shirt".

Same outfit as above, just adding a flannel shirt around the waist.  Note: the flannel shirt is buttoned up before tying around the waist, the neckline not showing in the rear. See:

This brings us to the FLANNEL SHIRT, and the many ways to wear it.  NOTICE: the following outfits all have the same t-shirt Amanda was already wearing.

Amanda's wearing skinny jeans with the flannel shirt left open, the sleeves rolled slightly (a favorite look of mine for button-up shirts), and a long, simple necklace.

The only difference here is that the flannel shirt is tied together at the front.  Notice that the t-shirt is still tucked in. 

Same look as the first open flannel shirt look, but now it is more casual with the tennis shoes.  These are some of my favorite!  Converse slip-ons.  LOVE them! 

I love this look – un-tucking the t-shirt (to cover up the rear, and just to look good in general!), putting on leggings, and wearing flats.  The shirt is tied in the front and sleeves are slightly rolled. 

Change flats for boots to get a little bit dressier look.

In case you wonder how this looks from behind.  And don't pretend you weren't wondering how you would look from behind in leggings!  ;-)  I would HIGHLY recommend a t-shirt that is a bit long, like this one.

Enter: White cami! Add a jean chambray shirt and utility jacket.  You could also keep t-shirt on and flannel with the utility jacket.  SO MANY OPTIONS!

 Booties and black vest.

Polka dot sweater, from WAL-MART, what?!

Notice the necklace is outside the collar.  Take a look here . . . 

And here.

Another Wal-Mart sweater, change necklace and put jean jacket on.

 Such a versatile piece, this white button-up shirt.  Worn here with flare jeans, a belt, and cardigan.  Notice the sleeves are pulled longer than the cardigan and rolled up.

Full body shot.  Worn with cowboy boots. (But could be worn with so many different shoes!)

Button the cardigan.

White shirt unbuttoned a few buttons with a necklace.

 
A completely different look just because of a new necklace. 

 Gold belt, wedge shoes, flare jeans.  Yes, flare jeans and wedges CAN go together!  Just make sure the length on the jeans is long enough that it still touches or almost touches the ground on your heel when wearing the wedges. 

Same outfit, just different dress shirt. 

How rolled sleeves look - close up. 

Same jeans and wedges with a t-shirt, simple long necklace, and a jacket. 

Jacket sleeves turned up.

Similar jacket, different color, worn with jeans (could be leggings) and converse for a fun, casual look. T-shirt un-tucked in the back.   

Dress up the jacket with boots. 

There you have it!  Amanda and I had SO MUCH FUN mixing and matching clothes.  And really, with just these clothes there are so many other ways to mix and match that we could go on and on.  But this can get your wheels turning.  Now go to your closet and see what you can come up with!  Don't forget to share your photos on Instagram with the hashtag #fallinlovewithmyclosetchallenge for your chance to win a $50.00 gift card AND a chance to have me come help you make outfits with your clothes and be featured on the blog!
