"Black and White" August 15, 2011

This is one of the most comfortable Rompers ever! Rompers are great to throw on in a hurry that you can dress up or dress down. I love these full rompers because they are so comfy and stylish at the same time… That is always a plus! Some ways you can style up a romper is add a cardi or blazer, add a hat or cool headband, add some jewelry, or some nice heels or gladiators!

Where to Buy it:

Romper: Kohl’s

Shoes: Becky’s Shoes in Cleveland, TN

Hat: Express

Bracelet: Kohl’s

"Crush or Ex" Method

Known Fact: We wear 20% of what we own 80% of the time. So, If you’re going through your closet and you find something that you wouldn’t wear around your crush, your ex, or on your hot date with your BF, GET RID OF IT! You dont need it! But someone else does! :)

Emma Watson Style

I am obsessed with this girls style. What she wore to both Premieres of Harry Potter was Magnificent! The first gown is by Ventega Bonetta and is spectacular. The second is by one of my all time favorites, Oscar De La Renta. LOVE IT! Here style is truly inspirational.

WHERE TO GIVE?

PLACES TO GIVE CLOTHES TO:
If you are in Atlanta, MUST Ministries definitely accepts clothes donations! I have donated here and they are amazing... Their organization helps so many!

If you are in Nashville, Mercy Ministries is a women's ministry that helps women ages 13-28 who come from difficult backgrounds. This would be a great ministry to donate to! They put all of their donations into the "Blessings Closet"... SO APPROPRIATE!!!

HELP SOMEONE TODAY!!!!

GIVE GIVE GIVE

Have clothes you dont wear and done need? Dont we all! Tip of the day: Go through your closet and see if there is anything you can give to a homeless shelter, or ministry in your city to help out! People are in desperate need of clothes and this way you can “Style” your closet by getting rid of unnecessary clutter and GIVE GIVE GIVE it away to someone who really needs it!
