Spring Cleaning

Are you one of those Spring Cleaners? I am! We had the whole week off school this past week, and we had such a great break! We cleaned, relaxed, and even went to the beach one day! When I was sitting at home, I got the bright idea to clean out my closet. (It was exploding and it was a hot mess!) I had been wanting to clean it out for a while, but didn't have the time. Now, that I was home all week, I had no excuses! After I cleaned it out, I felt so refreshed and so much more organized! I thought I might help and encourage you all to do the same!

I don't know if you are like me...but I am a clothes HOARDER! I seriously get emotionally attached to clothes. Especially if I have special memories wearing them. But, I don't want to end up on the show "Hoarders: Buried Alive" one day..lol! So there are a couple of guidelines I have to set up when I am cleaning out my closet. This is my mental checklist I follow to see if I should get rid of an item or not.

Get rid out it if....

I try my hardest not to repeat an outfit. Today, I'm going to show you 9 different ways you could style a maxi skirt. I got this maxi skirt from Martin's.

Style Tips for Men

I've done a post about men's style one time before, and it was a hit, so I thought I would take another post and help a brother out! ;)

I know MOST of my readers are ladies, so this will help you, HELP (not nag or pester) the man in your life. Some of you might have very stylish husbands by their own doing, yay for you! I have a very style-conscious husband. (I'm glad, because I couldn't handle being responsible for dressing him too!) So, this post is more for the ladies who have husbands who let them do their shopping for them, or pick out their clothes for them.

First of all, most of the time we only think style is for ladies. But, that is not true at all! It is not feminine at all for men to be well-dressed and sharp! Especially for men who are in influential positions such as Preachers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, etc. Sharp, well-fitting clothing encourages others to take you more seriously. My husband is a teacher and a preacher, so he has to dress sharp every day of the week! I am going to use him as my model! (A handsome one in my opinion, too! ;) )

I'm going to give some tips I've learned from my husband, to help you and your husband understand the basics of a sharp man's wardrobe!

1. Every man needs at least one classic suit. The two most classic color suits to have is navy blue and charcoal gray. My husband actually only has 3 suits he wears on a regular basis. He owns dark navy, khaki, and gray suits. When you are buying a suit, make sure it is tailored to fit your husband's body. I've never seen a suit look sharp right off a rack! My favorite suit on my husband is his navy suit!
