Double Shimmer

H&M blouse, MNG by Mango skirt, Nine West heels, F21 necklace and bangle, Charming
Charlie cuff, Francesca's earrings, Zara clutch

Sometimes wearing one shimmery piece isn't enough. I've worn a variation of this outfit before (here) but decided to add a different skirt and change my hair up a bit. I still liked the idea of wearing my gold collar necklace over the buttoned up blouse so I kept that element.


My husband asked me if I ever wore the same outfit twice on my blog. My answer would be no (at least not on purpose). Part of the challenge of being a fashion blogger is re-working the pieces you have without having to shop all the time. Of course it would be easy to put a brand new outfit on the blog every day consisting of brand new items, but I have neither the money nor the time to shop that much. (I won't lie; I wouldn't be upset if I did though!)



Don't forget to get your Top Three post ready for tomorrow's link-up. See Monday's post for specific instructions. Have a great day!

    I bet he was surprise and proud at the same time to have a talented wife. It surely is a challenge! I love the shade of grey/silver of the top!

    Haha, I wish I had the time and money to shop everyday too! I love the two shimmery pieces together, and that you did minimal jewelry.

    Ohhh, this is so pretty! I rarely mix silver and gold together (mostly because it intimidates me), but the combo is fab on you! xo

    That's one of the things I really love about your blog- it's inspiring to see you re work some of the same pieces in so many different ways! I've definitely used some of your ideas myself, and it makes me feel like my closet is much bigger than it is :)

    I LOVE this skirt!

    Very nice outfit combination. I wish I had the time and money for a new outfit every day too, wouldn't that be lovely? Well done for restyling the items you already have to make new outfits :)

    I love the sparkly clutch...pairs so beautifully with the silver top! I really wish I had the money to buy new clothes all the time but instead I'll have to "shop" my closet too.

    Totally agree on the statement that sometimes one glitter piece isn't enough! And I'm obsessing over that clutch. Great look!

    I absolutely love that blouse. It's classy but still has that extra fashion forward element. Also, I love seeing how bloggers rework items in their closet to create new outfits. It's definitely a challenge and inspiring.

    I love the collar necklace underneath the collar of your blouse! And I love that peplum skirt! I'm really surprised that I haven't worn the same thing twice on my blog either! That's what I love about blogging, like you said, it challenges me to come up with new things! Looking forward to linking up tomorrow!
