And just like that Whitney and I decided to get back at it with Create28. This is a series I started in February 2015 by creating 28 new outfits from what was already in my closet. The series has crossed seasons and had lots of guests along the way. Now we are bringing it back and posting back and forth for this Winter ’17 Edition. There will be Monday Link-ups and if you’re prompting along you can use the hashtag #create28winer17 on Instagram.
We usually start the series with a Go-To Look and today is no different. What pieces create a go-to look in your wardrobe? Why is a go-to look important? I love to have at least one go-to look that’s versatile so when I’m in a pinch to put something together, I’ve already got it covered.
When The Limited was putting their stock on sale for 70-80% off back in December, I decided to make a few purchases. One of the best purchases I made was this little top and blazer. They have become part of a go-to look for me. As soon as I put it on I knew “this is going to be a go-to look for me.”
All these pieces came from The Limited. Purchased at different times and seasons.
Why is this a Go-To Look? I think a Go-To Look should be easy and put together while having some versatility. I wore this to work on Friday when things are more casual. I would wear this if my hubby and I went out to grab some dinner or a movie or a casual Saturday bumming around. I would even wear this to church as well.
I’m a little bit of planner, organizer and multi-tasker so I have to admit that I like to be prepared. Having at least one Go-To Look ready definitely makes my life easier and my mind more peaceful. I like to be prepared! These are some of my previous Go-To Looks from Create28.
As I’ve been paying more attention to my style and preparing for this go around of Create28, I have to say that even though I’m not a capsule person {completely} I’ve started to really remix the pieces in my wardrobe that I love. You’ll probably see a little or a lot of remixing from me through this series. I’m excited and I hope you are too.
As I was typing this I reminded of a verse that spoke of being prepared. That is what I will leave you with today.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. ~ 1 Peter 3:15
I’m also participating with The Blended Blog ladies and New Year Styled. This look fits that as well. Link up with us today, friends!
Hope you are prepared for today, friend. Have a BEAUTIFUL one!
