Style Resolution: Scarves

My challenge for you today is to tie your scarf in a new way!  Check out this post for some ideas, and here is one more..

Tying it near your neck and tucking it into your blouse a bit makes it look more like a necklace and less like a scarf.  Plus, it is super warm.

Style Resolution: Fitness Gear

Today's style resolution is to update your workout attire.  If you are anything like me, you may spend much of the day in your workout clothes (this is going to have to be another resolution for another day).  So if you are wearing your workout clothes you may need to:
a.  Get some new stuff
b.  Get some cuter stuff

Even if your workout clothes are cute, they may be worn out and gross.  Or you may be one of those people that still wears baggie t-shirts from sorority mixers and mesh basketball shorts.  Either way, here are some cute affordable options that I have found recently. 

All these tops are from Wal-Mart and the pants are from Kohls.  The links are below the pictures.

I have this top in the black and white and I LOVE it!  It is longer than it looks in the picture.  It fits and performs great. 

I have this one in the blue pattern.  I think I like it even better than the top one.  Also longer in the length, and comfortable.

I have this one in the black.  It is super stretch, maybe not quite as long as the other two, but still great!

I can't say enough about these pants. This picture doesn't do them justice.  I have had them for a year or so, and I LOVE them!  I have tried the fancy Lululemon ones and they are not even close to as great as these are, and they are double the price.  They fit well, wick the moisture, and make your back side look GREAT!

I have also found cute stuff on the racks at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Ross etc...

So, update those fitness wardrobe friends!

Black and White

You know I love to mix pops of color with black or change it up with some brown, but sometimes it is fun to go back to the basics of black and white.

My Look:

Jacket: Mistletoe Marketplace

Dress: Garage sale

Studded belt: Ross (from the little boys section)

Leggings: Target

Boots: Aldo

Style Resolution: Braids

Looking for a little hair change up?  What about a braid? Braids give an interesting and youthful twist to your hair, and are especially great to keep hair out of your face if you have bangs or are growing them out. 

Here are some cute ideas from Pinterest

Resolution #2: A New Shade...

Your style challenge for today is to switch up your lipstick color.  I have been wearing nude/neutralish lipsticks for years now, but just recently I have been trying to mix in some brighter shades.  It brings a fun pop of color to my face especially during these dreary winter months.

Give it a try and see if it gives your mood and style a boost!

Resolution #1: Back of Closet Challenge

The first style resolution that I am going to work on this month is to wear a greater variety of the clothes that I already have.  I have heard that we wear 20% of our wardrobes 80% of the time, so if that is true, we are wasting lots of great stuff.  Or there is a lot of stuff we do not need to have in our closets. 
Your challenge for today is to venture to the very back of your closet and pull out the very last item.  If it is formal or completely out of season, keep moving down the rod until you get to something that isn't.  Once you get to that item, pull it out and do one of 3 things.
1.  Figure out a way to wear it.
2.  Put it at the front of the row so that you will see it and wear it soon.
3.  Get rid of it if you are not going to wear it in the next few days.

Here is what I found...

A cute purple t-shirt with fun fluffly sleeves from Loft a couple of seasons ago.  I didn't pack it away with my summer clothes because I knew that it would be cute with a long sleeved tee layered underneath it, but it had gotten pushed to the very back and I had forgotten about it. 

So head to the back of your closet and see what you find!  I would love for you to come back and comment and let me know what you find either in the comments here of on the Kelly B style facebook page.

Happy closet fishing!
